This study aims to investigate better forms of mileage expiration message which could maximize customer’s mileage usage intention. Under this purpose, two independent variables(message framing and time pressure) and two moderating variables(size of mileage and regulatory focus) are used. The employed experimental design is 2x2x2.
A survey methodology is conducted to test the hypotheses and there are eight types of survey questionnaire. Each respondent receives one of them.
The results are as follows.
First, mileage expiration message with negative framing increased customer’s mileage usage intention more than mileage expiration message with positive framing.
Second, mileage expiration message with higher time pressure increased customer’s mileage usage intention more than mileage expiration message with lower time pressure.
Third, the result showed two-way interaction effects on mileage usage intention between time pressure and size of mileage. The bigger size of mileage increased customer’s mileage usage intention and it increased even more with higher time pressure.
Fourth, the result showed two-way interaction effects on mileage usage intention between time pressure and regulatory focus. Customer with prevention focus showed a high level of mileage usage intention than customer with promotion focus when they are exposed to mileage expiration message. It increased even more with higher time pressure.
Fifth, interaction effects on mileage usage intention between message framing and size of mileage was not significant. The case of message framing and regulatory focus showed the same result.
Referring to the results above, it is possible to use mileage expiration message as an effective marketing tool.
