The study, first, Preannouncing main effect of temporal distance on judgments remember the difference between the purchase intention and consistent global product judgment is more discrete product judgment were higher awareness, purchase intention is higher. Second, Preannouncing high level of product knowledge in global product judgment showed that compared to discrete product judgment. In addition, low levels of knowledge than a discrete product judgment that global product judgment and purchase intention shown that a high level of consumer knowledge through systematic information processing and the road leads to higher purchase attitude. Third, Preannouncing according to the temporal distance and level of knowledge about the interaction effect results in the near future in terms of the high level of knowledge consumers global product judgment was higher than the discrete product judgment. On the other hand, a low level of knowledge of conditions in the distant future, consumers are more discrete product judgment recognized global product judgment showed that high.
