修订版(140词):
Involvement devices aim to encourage potential customers to physically interact or engage with advertisements in some way. The professor provided two examples from a jewelry store to illustrate this concept. First, the jewelry store included a ring sizer in their mailings, encouraging people to measure their ring size by inserting their fingers into the sizer. While doing this, customers would notice the store's name, address, and business hours, increasing the likelihood of them visiting the store. The second strategy involves sending customers a promotional quiz via email, containing questions related to their preferences. As customers click on the answers, they become more engaged with the advertisement, making them more likely to visit the store's website and make a purchase. These examples demonstrate how involvement devices can effectively capture potential customers' attention and increase their interest in purchasing products.
