In line with the above reasoning, Destan, Yaprak & Cavusgil (2006) conducted a study on SMEs in the United States to understand the importance of future anticipation. Under a condition of growing competition which creates a complex and turbulent situation, SMEs need to make a breakthrough and innovation in order to improve their marketing performance. By doing strategic alliances with existing stakeholders, especially with suppliers and competitors will make SMEs have a comparative advantage to anticipate the future. Further Mische (2009) states that by trying to understand the future will make the link between cognitive finally relate to the customer's purchasing decision. Entrepreneurs, such as companies and SMEs who are trying to anticipate the future will get appreciation from customers (Morales, 2005). This is because they put the customer as the driving force in their business. Customers who appreciate the extra effort will decide to make a purchase with the business. This can be explained through the theory of persuasion and attribution theory. Future anticipation is part of the marketing strategy from business owners to persuade their customers. Several researchers have conducted research related to the company's consumer persuasion (Cardozo, 1965; Friedstat and Wright, 1994; Kirmani and wright, 1989; Campbell and Kirmani, 2000). While research on attribution theory has also been conducted by previous researchers (Folkes, 1988; Weiner, 2000). Nonetheless, the research that combines company's persuasion with an extra effort is still very limited (Morales, 2005).
