This study aimed to compare how cinemagraph images and general images influence purchase intention for online food marketing. The researchers hypothesized that perceived monetary value, brand attitude, and perceived taste would positively influence purchase intention, and that there would be differences between groups viewing cinemagraphs versus general images. 142 participants viewed food images as either cinemagraphs or general images and completed surveys on perception measures and purchase intention. Results supported all hypotheses - the perception factors positively influenced intention for both groups, and the cinemagraph group was more influenced by monetary value while the general image group was more influenced by brand. The study thus provided insights into how different image types can shape online food marketing.
