Sustainable green purchases
Some researchers point out that the choice of music in advertisements plays a vital role in convincing consumers that a product is green and that they should purchase it.
A 2022 study found that using major-mode music with a fast templo in advertising helps consumers to buy the product.
Modes are scale patterns with different melodic characteristics. The tempo is the speed of a piece. Major scales are usually associated with happiness while minor scales are perceived as more melancholy.

How music affects consumer's purchasing intentions

However, the scope of the study only focused on green products, but what makes a product green may vary.
