Prevalence of this communication strategy across different internationally known brands implies the existence of a positive impact on consumer behavior. The present work aim to assess such an effect by evaluating the gestures shown in the advertising of fashion clothing in digital media during the purchase process. Opinions and attitudes of consumers are assessed during the phases of the conversion funnel. Through digital surveys, consumers were exposed to photographs of fashionable clothing where models showed either a conventional or unconventional posture to later evaluate their desire to explore or buy the advertised clothing. Data were analyzed with ANOVA and Chi Square tests to test for means’ differences. Results show that unconventional body position, hand position and facial gestures are effective mainly in the upper stages of the funnel, while conventional postures increase the purchase intentions. Las marcas de ropa de moda dirigidas a los jóvenes han optado por mostrar modelos en posturas que desafían la posición natural del cuerpo en su publicidad. La prevalencia de esta estrategia de comunicación a través de diferentes marcas conocidas a nivel internacional supone la existencia de un impacto positivo en el comportamiento de los consumidores. El presente trabajo buscar analizar tal efecto al evaluar los gestos mostrados en la publicidad de ropa de moda en medios digitales y la forma en que influyen durante el proceso de compra. Se analizan las opiniones y actitudes de los consumidores durante las fases iniciales y finales del embudo de conversión. Mediante encuestas digitales los consumidores fueron expuestos a fotografías de ropa de moda donde las modelos mostraban ya sea una postura convencional o poco convencional para posteriormente evaluar su deseo de explorar o comprar la ropa publicitada. Los datos fueron analizados con pruebas de ANOVA y Chi Cuadrada para probar diferencias entre medias. Los resultados muestran que la posición del cuerpo, la posición de las manos y los gestos faciales poco convencionales son efectivos principalmente en las etapas superiores del embudo, mientras que las posturas convencionales incrementan la intención de compra.
