This study examines the relationship between city slogan modifiers and slogan attitudes from the perspective of residents in other cities. To examine this relationship, the study focuses on two important characteristics of slogan modifiers : the preference for a slogan modifier and the fit of a slogan modifier. To test the hypotheses, a 2 (low vs. high city knowledge)${\times}2$ (low vs. high slogan modifier preference)${\times}2$ (low vs. high slogan modifier fit) between-subjects factorial design was adopted. A total of 254 undergraduate students at the authors' college participated in the study. Their ages ranged from 19 and 30 (average = 22.3), and 58.3% of the participants were male. According to the results, the high-preference slogan modifier had a greater positive effect on slogan attitudes than the low-preference one. Similarly, the high-fit slogan modifier had a greater positive effect on slogan attitudes than the low-fit one. Also, it was shown that the fit of the slogan modifier had a greater effect on purchase intentions than the preference for the slogan modifier when city knowledge was high. However, contrary to expectations, when city knowledge was low, the standardized coefficient of the preference for the slogan modifier was not significantly different from that of its fit.
