Zusammenfassung

Vergleichende Werbung ist in Deutschland ein verhältnismäßig junger Werbestil, da er aufgrund rechtlicher Restriktionen lange Zeit nur sehr beschränkt möglich war. Mit der Liberalisierung vergleichender Werbung durch die EU-Richtlinie 97/55/EG wurde der Weg für diesen Werbestil in Deutschland weiter geebnet. Gerade im Vergleich zu den USA lässt sich auf dem deutschen Werbemarkt allerdings immer noch eine gewisse Zurückhaltung hinsichtlich der vergleichenden Werbung feststellen. Dieser Beitrag richtet sich an Wissenschaftler und Praktiker gleichermaßen, die einen umfassenden Überblick über vergleichende Werbung ausgehend von den Zielen und Gefahren dieses Werbestils über seine Formen bis hin zu dessen zentralen Forschungserkenntnissen gewinnen möchten.
