Abstract
In keeping with the wide popularity of fitness mobile apps, this research proposed a nuanced approach—sponsorships partnered with fitness mobile apps—to exploit their economic and societal values in enhancing the sponsor’s image and promoting physical activity, respectively. Through a 2 (low vs. high congruence) by 2 (monetary vs. cause-related incentive) experiment, this study investigated the effects of functional congruence and incentive type in these two regards. The findings shed light on the mediating mechanisms and boundary conditions of sponsorship strategies in making sponsorship a win-win initiative for both the sponsor and the sponsored entity.
