Study to Claim Sex Doesn’t Sell

MEGUMIXBOX.jpg

Two college professors, University of Colorado Marketing Professor Paul Her and the late Binghamton University Associate Professor Yong-Soon Kang, are about to poke a whole in the ad industry’s love affair with sex as a tool to sell. In June, the pair will release a study, “Beauty and the Beholder: Why Pretty Faces Don’t Always Help Sales,” conducted among 200 college students that will show sex-laced advertising can backfire. We hope everyone ignores the study.
