Ducoffe proposed advertising prototype which was used to comprehend the attitudinal elements and expanding the prototype by including ‘customization’ and ‘benefit’ construct. Structural Equation Modeling was used to analyze the data that was collected from Malaysian consumer. Results reveal that reliability, customization, enlightenment and amusement all have straight and progressive impact on Ad value, whereas very implicit impact on customer attitude with respect to social media advertisement. Customization happens to be the most important element influencing other correlated variables.
