ABSTRACT
Currently, social media has become one of the famous platforms in advertising. For instance,
reach the younger generation considering that it has become a platform for people to interact
with each other. With that, AM Cuisine – a small local food business owned by one of the
researchers, used Instagram as an advertising platform. . Hence, the study aimed to ascertain
participants of this study are the grade 11 –students of St. Paul University Quezon City. The
88 participants were placed in either the experimental or control group. With that, the two
groups had 44 participants each. The experimental group was exposed to an Instagram Video
Advertisement, while the control group was shown a publication material prepared by AM
Cuisine. Subsequently, the participants were asked to answer a survey questionnaire that
will elicit their level of attention, interest desire and degree of purchase intention towards
AM Cuisine after viewing the mentioned materials. The test results were analyzed through a
Frequency Distribution table and T - test. The analysis showed that there is a significant
difference between the test scores of the two groups. The study later on concluded that the
Instagram video advertisement was more effective than the traditional publication material.

products such as food. Over the years, the value of online advertising became a great interest
to organizations, businesses and companies. This is due to the fact that social media has
become a crucial conduit for international marketing communications to reach the younger
generation. Furthermore, social media has become a necessary part of people’s lives because
it became a platform for people to interact with each other (Duffet 2015).
One of the most popular social media platforms is Instagram. According to Clement
(2019), the global number of Instagram users is expected to reach 1.69 Billion in 2020. This
number has urged marketers to begin using Instagram as a social media platform in
between online advertising and the purchase intention of a consumer. Likewise, online
advertising is one of the important factors that make a consumer buy a certain product.
(Sama 2019; Deshwal 2016) These studies explains why budgets for online advertising
escalated from $16 billion in 2014 to a staggering $31 billion in 2016 (Dautovic 2020).
Furthermore, these studies manifests that big companies and firms are increasing their sales
through online advertising considering that they are spending millions to billions of dollars
Appallingly, the effectiveness of online advertising was not yet adequately explored
in small businesses. As Duffet (2015) suggested, studies on social media advertising should
be conducted. However, there are only limited sources explaining the effectiveness of
Instagram advertisements. With that, the researchers conducted this study since there are
The researchers narrowed down the population of its respondents to Filipino teenagers
studying in St. Paul University Quezon City. The teenagers were the grade 11 senior high
school students between the ages of 16 to 18. 44 subjects of this research were exposed to
material both made by AM Cuisine – a small food business owned by one of the researchers.
Thus, this study aimed to ascertain the effectiveness of AMM Cuisine’s Instagram food

research used and tested its promotional tools. With that, the business was able to see and
Instagram food advertisements made by AMM Cuisine. The study solely used Instagram food
advertisements and publication materials made by AMM Cuisine. Hence, other forms of
promotional materials were not included in this study. Additionally, the study only examined
the grade 11 students currently studying St. Paul University Quezon City. Students from
other schools and grade levels did take part in this research.
The study was limited to use online platforms to conduct the study considering that
face to face implementation was no allowed due to the threats of the rampant pandemic.

Over the years, the value of online advertising became a great interest to
organizations. The article of Yoon et al (2018) indicated that firms are making efforts to deal
with consumers who request improvements in traditional marketing strategies which will
elaborated that these efforts resulted to online advertising through social media which
allowed customers to engage, interact and share information while providing companies

To explain how this works, the author further explained that engagement and
exposure to online advertisements are often incidental. For example, an individual may
urging them to check the product and share it with his or her own peers and colleagues.
The engagements provide positive effects on consumer behavior. For instance, the
study conducted by Lobschat & Reinartz (2017) proved that customers are more likely to
visit a firm’s website when they see online advertisement banners. The prolonged and
proactive engagement improves the relationship between customers and businesses which
These studies explained why companies and businesses are currently using social
media platforms, such as Facebook and Instagram, as a marketing and advertising ground.

Batara et al (2018), suggests there are four aspects in online advertisement and
buying. The research examined four aspects, namely market creativity, perceived profit,
perceived risk and brand awareness. The findings of the two-way variance analysis showed

He suggested that Instagram is a social – media platform that will allow small businesses to
grow for it is capable of generating more sales through advertisements. He further added
that social media advertising is more effective than traditional marketing activities such as
Over the past centuries, marketing has been an efficient tool to make any business
thrive and succeed. Fejza and Asllani (2018) defines marketing as one of the main
strategies that will meet market demands. It is a channel that helps a certain company drive
sales. With that, Moorman and Rust (n,d) claims that marketing contributes to a firm’s
performance for it acts as a promotional tool. The study of Dikcius and Urbonavicius (2018)
supports this claim as they elaborate the importance of marketing. According to the two
aforementioned authors, the function of marketing plays a major role to establish company
and consumer interaction. In a nutshell, marketing is a beneficial tool for any business

publicize and promote their products or services to the public. Terkan (2016) claims that it
to more sales and revenue. Correspondingly, the study of Li & Yu (2013) elaborates how
advertising effectiveness is determined through the AIDA model. The AIDA model is a
summary of modern marketing theories that encompasses and describes the sequence of
events a customer experiences after being exposed to a marketing activity. The model was
developed by Elmo Lewis in 1998; and, was initially described as a descendent of the
DAGMAR model. According to Rawal (n,d), the term “AIDA” is an acronym for Attention,
Interest, Desire and Action. The model describes the cognitive, affective and behavioral
journey of a consumer that travels through the four aforementioned stages. These stages
funnel consumers to purchase a product (Please see Figure 1). According to the AIDA model,
established, businesses should ensure that customers develop a sense of desire for the
product to influence their purchase action or intention. Thus, marketers should develop

marketing activity because it allows the brain to store all kinds of visual information that are
related to a certain product, service, brand and company. Over the past years, understanding
consumer attention has greatly aided organizations in creating effective and efficient
marketing strategies. The study of Mackenzie (2016) proved that attracting consumer
aforementioned study, attention involves the selection of certain information that leads to
further cognitive processing. Likewise, it is the process of orientation. He further added that
Relatively, Drigas & Karyotaki (2019) claimed that attention has two distinguished
types; namely, external and internal attention. External or perceptual attention refers to the
Saint Paul University Quezon City 14
act of selecting and modulating sensory information. On the contrary, internal or reflective
attention refers to the cognitive control of information in a person’s brain and memory. This
means that reflective or central attention influences the information that is stored in the
working memory of an individual for it regulates and encodes the perceived information in
the brain. There are numerous ways to measure a person’s level of attention. Li & Edwards
(2018) claim that advertisements should not be intrusive from the point of view of the
consumers to ensure that they have attention towards it considering that there are some
instances wherein advertisements are annoying and intrusive. The study of T. Kim & O. Kim
(2015) suggest that the amount attention towards a particular advertisement can be
determined by measuring the time consumers spend to finish viewing an advertisement for
it is directly proportional to their level of attention. Aside from this method, the two authors
also suggested memory evaluation wherein viewers are asked to recall details from the
advertisement. These details are essential because it leads to consumer interest. Thus, these
studies prove why marketing organizations search for unique and ironic ways to grab
consumer attention.
Attracting the interest of consumers is important for any business. This is supported
by the study of Silvia (2016) as he defines interest as a self – sustaining motive that lead
people to engage with certain objects, activities and media. Furthermore, he elaborated that
interest is a source of intrinsic motivation - the act of doing something without any
constructive antagonism that counters negative motives interfering with the completion of
Saint Paul University Quezon City 15
a certain task or engagement. Aside from this, the author relates interest to a feeling of
curiosity activated by a gradient of stimulation of the reticular and arousal system. Aside
from this, he further added that interest is commonly associated with positive valence
emotions as experimental aesthetics research subsumes that interest and these feelings are

interest by focusing and demonstrating the advantages and benefits of a product or service.
Lauria (2017) defines “desire” as emotion that motivates people to obtain a particular
object or emotion. As an individual obtains this particular object or emotion, the person will
experience satisfaction; otherwise, the person will feel a sense of frustration and regret. This
claim is supported by Clark and Goldsmith (2015) who relates the concept of desire to
marketing. The two authors claim that desire is a feeling that puts a person in a mental
disposition to crave and long for a certain product. More often than not, the feeling of desire
elements of an advertisement that pleases the optical senses of its audience. This allows the
advertisement to create an image in the minds of the viewers; which in return, develops an
urge to purchase the product. Relatively, the study of Joshi (2020) reveals that desire
Saint Paul University Quezon City 16
towards a certain product shapes the purchase intention of a consumer to buy a product.
These information explains why desire eventually influences the buying behavior and
purchase intention of consumers. With that, organizations and businesses must ensure that
their advertisement generates consumer desire to push and urge them to buy their products
and services.
Ming & Phang (2018) defines consumer purchase intention as the consumer’s
willingness to buy a specific product at a given time or situation. Furthermore, the consumer
purchase intention is a good predictor of buying behavior. The author added that it is the
main input for predicting sales as well as the impact of marketing actions or activities such
as advertisements. This means that a consumer’s purchase intention is relevant to his or her
buying behavior. Correspondingly, the AIDA model suggests that an advertisement should
convince a consumer to influence his purchase intention towards a certain product. This
means that an advertisement should ensure that it promotes a certain product in a way that
SYNTHESIS
The popularity and effectiveness of social media advertising has recently been
surging. With that, numerous organizations and firms adjust their marketing strategies to
fully benefit the use of social media as a platform for advertising. To measure the
effectiveness of an advertisement, some studies suggest the use of the AIDA model – a model
developed by Elmo Lewis that describes the four stages a consumer goes through as the

person views a promotional marketing activity. The model is an acronym for attention,
interest, desire and action. Furthermore, it suggests an advertisement must attract the
attention of the consumer to gain interest and desire towards a product, service or brand in

III. INSTRUMENT
The study made use of three instruments to provide the needed data. A researcher-
made questionnaire was made as a posttest. The researchers used Google Forms as a
medium for the questionnaire considering that the research had to be conducted online due
to the ongoing pandemic. To prevent the survey responses from exceeding the sample size,
the researchers used “Form Limit” – a survey feature available on google forms that allows
Saint Paul University Quezon City 22
the researcher to limit the number of survey respondents. Additionally, the researchers used
A short cover letter was also provided in the questionnaire. The cover letter included
an introduction about the study. Additionally, the respondents can only proceed to answer
the survey if they select the consent button. This is to ensure them that the study is voluntary
and all data gathered by the survey would be kept discreet and confidential
The questionnaire was composed of five parts. Part 1 was utilized to elicit the
respondent profile and demographics. It was used to determine the sex, age and name of the
research participant. However, it is the option of the respondent to input his or her own
name in the questionnaire. This was done to maintain confidentiality and avoid biases.
Part II – V contained questions that are related to the main problem of the research.
The questions were drawn based on the study’s review of related literature. Specifically, part
II measures the respondents’ level of attention towards the product. This part contained 7
questions that are based on the study of T.Kim and O. Kim (2015). The two authors suggested
to use memory evaluation to measure level of attention. With that, the respondents were
correctly, they are given 2 points. On the contrary, if they selected the incorrect answer, they
are given no points. With that, the scores are relative to their level of attention.

Part III of the questionnaire was used to determine the respondents’ level of interest.
With that, the researchers created a 4 – point Likert scale. The Likert scale has 7 items in
total. The respondents are given 4 points if the strongly agree, 3 points if they agree, 2 points
Saint Paul University Quezon City 23
if they disagree and 1 point if they strongly disagree. The statements used in this part are
based on the study of Silvia (2016) who suggests that interest is associated with positive
valence emotions and aesthetic satisfaction. Three of the statements are shown below.
Like the previous segment, the scores of the respondents are directly proportional to their
The researchers dedicated part IV to determine the respondents’ level of desire. The
researchers based the statements of the desire scale from the review of related literature.
The literature states that desire is an emotion that urges and motivates people, specifically
consumers, to buy a certain product which gives them a feeling of satisfaction. Relatively, a
These elements should make a consumer crave and long for the product that it promotes.
Additionally, the AIDA model states that consumer interest should develop into consumer
desire. With that, listed below are three examples of the statements included in the
Part V of the questionnaire contains statements that will determine the respondents’
degree of purchase intention. Like the previous tests, the statements were based on the
study’s review of related literature. The article states that the degree of purchase intention

customer’s purchase intention is greatly influenced by the attention, interest and desire he
or she has towards a particular advertisement. With that, listed below are three examples of

before distributing the survey. Additionally, the researchers had Mr. Lenald Audrey M.
Balingit, MSc in Marketing Management, check the trustworthiness and reliability of the
survey’s references to ensure that all of its content are relevant and true. Lastly, the
researchers asked Ms. Jaykee M. Gervero to check if the data analysis was applicable to the
questionnaire.
Aside from the researcher – made questionnaire, the study made use of AM Cuisine’s
publication material (flyer) and Instagram Video Advertisement. To clarify, the researchers
did not create the Advertisement and Publication material prior to the research. With that,
the publication material contains the products of AM Cuisine together with the prices of each
item. On the other hand, the Instagram Video Advertisement also contains the same
components but with added pictures. The respondents from the experimental group was

After that, they presented the group assignments of each respondent. . To ensure that all
of the respondents from the respective groups were present, the researchers asked the
participants to raise their hand if they are called. The control group was then exposed to
the publication material prepared by AM Cuisine. They gave the respondents 2 minutes
to view and read the material. Subsequently, the researchers then sent the link and QR
code of the survey through the MS Teams chat box. While the respondents of the control
group answered the survey, the researchers then asked the experimental group to open
their Instagram accounts and view AM Cuisine’s advertisement. The researchers asked
the respondents to view the advertisement two times. After this, they sent the QR code
and link of the experimental group survey. Lastly, researchers asked the respondents
who finished answering the survey to leave the channel without disturbing others.
Before conducting the study, the researchers made a letter of approval to conduct the
study at St. Paul University Quezon City. With that, the researchers determined the sample
size and the respondents of the study through the class list given by the grade 11 teachers.
The individual group assignment was done in Microsoft Excel. The researchers used the
application’s ToolPak sampling feature to randomly select the respondents. The intervention
was done during the free time of the students. The researchers entered their classes through
Microsoft Teams and explained the rationale and nature of the study. After which, the survey
questionnaires were given and distributed. Lastly, the researchers waited for all of the
respondents to finish before leaving the channel to move on to another section or class.

The researchers made use of a frequency distribution table to analyze the test scores
of the control and experimental groups. The table allowed the researchers to determine the
levels of attention, interest and desire of the respondents. Relatively, the researchers used
the table to ascertain the respondent’s degree of purchase intention. The researchers used
this table because the test scores of the research participants are relative and directly
proportional to their levels of attention, interest, desire and degree of purchase intention
frequency distribution is a table, list or graph that shows the different measurement
categories and its corresponding number of observations. Relatively, it also displays the
frequency of various outcomes in a sample. In this study’s case, the researchers categorized
the scores into different ranges. The attention scale had 3 ranges while the interest,
attention, desire and degree of purchase intention had 4. With that, the following ranges
were considered by the researchers in line with the research of T. & O. Kim (2015).

compares the value of the test statistics with the critical value. The test suggests to reject the
null hypothesis if the absolute value of f –computed is greater than f- critical. To ensure the
trustworthiness of the Data Analysis procedure, the researchers consulted a Ms. Jaykee M.

DISCUSSION
The t- test and frequency distribution table of the respondent’s level of attention
reveals that both the publication material and the advertisement received similar levels of
attention from the respondents. This means that the Instagram advertisements of AM
Cuisine only receives equal attention in comparison with the publication material given the
fact that the average scores of the respective groups are almost numerically similar
The t- test and frequency distribution table of the respondent’s level of interest
reveals that the Instagram video advertisement attracted more interest than the publication

material. This means that the Instagram advertisements of AM Cuisine is more effective in
terms of gaining consumer interest. The difference between the test scores and its average
prove that respondents were aroused by the video advertisement. Hence, the advertisement
was able to produce positive valence emotions and aesthetic quality (Silvia 2016).

scores and its average prove that respondents gained product desire after viewing the video
advertisement. Hence, the advertisement produced a feeling that puts a person in a mental
disposition to crave and long for a certain product (Clark & Goldsmith 2016).
The t- test and frequency distribution table of the respondent’s degree of purchase
intention shows that there is a huge difference between the average scores of the control and
experimental group in terms of the degree of purchase intention scale. With that, the
Instagram video advertisement convinced more individuals to buy food from AM cuisine in
comparison with the publication material. This means that that the Instagram

I. SUMMARY
significant differences of the test scores between the experimental and control group. These
scores reflect the effectiveness of AM Cuisine’s Instagram Advertisements. The AIDA model
was used as a basis of the advertisement’s effectiveness. With that, the independent variables
of this study are the advertisements made by AM Cuisine. Meanwhile, the respondents’ level
of attention, interest, desire and degree of attention are the key dependent variables of this
study. The dependent variables will determine the effectiveness of the advertisement.
The study made use of qualitative true- experimental research that follows a posttest-
only group design – a type of true experimental research design wherein a posttest is
administered after the treatment or intervention. The participants of this study are the grade
– 11 students of St. Paul University Quezon City. The experimental and control group were
composed of 44 participants each. The control and experimental group were exposed to a
publication material and an Instagram video advertisement respectively. The two materials
are made and prepared by AM Cuisine. After the exposure, the respondents were asked to
answer a survey that determines their levels of attention, interest, desire and degree of
Saint Paul University Quezon City 43
purchase intention towards the products of AM Cuisine. The test scores were analyzed
though a frequency distribution table and standard deviation. Additionally, the researchers
made use of a t - test to compare the test scores and determine what hypothesis to accept.
The researchers found out that there is a significant difference between the test
scores of the respondents from the experimental and control group. It was noticed that the
video advertisement gained more interest and desire while successfully influencing the
However, the publication material and advertisement were equal in terms of generating
consumer attention. Hence, the experimental groups’ interest, desire, and degree of purchase
