Model development (conceptualisation)
2016
Chapter 2 provided the theoretical background for the development of the conceptual model. In this chapter, firstly, the constructs relevant for the model are conceptualised, and secondly, hypotheses regarding the relationships between those constructs are derived from theoretical considerations.
Brand Extension: The Moderating Role of the Category to which the Extension Belongs to Be Added
2008
This article examines an evaluation of brand extension from a consumption perspective. In this perspective, the most relevant entity becomes the product, and the choice vector becomes the consumption context. In an experimental design applied to foodstuff, this article reports a study that manipulates the brand range. The study confirms the importance of the consumption context to evaluate brand extension. Also, the results show that the effects of the context fit and the typicality are more significant when the various products of the brand are sensitive to the consumption context. On the other hand, the effects of the association fit and typicality are also more significant when the produ…

Brand price differentials in retail distribution: product quality and service quality
2016
ABSTRACTA theoretical model is proposed to disentangle the contribution of brand quality and retailer service quality in explaining brand price differentials across retailers. Two testable hypotheses emerge: (i) for each brand type, price differences across retailers are independent of brand quality differentials and (ii) at a given retailer, price differences between different brand qualities are independent of service quality differentials. Our empirical analysis, for a sample of the U.K. grocery retailer prices, discloses that retailers that offer higher service quality sell same quality brands at higher prices. In particular, service quality premia amount to 6% for national brands and a…
When brands get branded
2009
Recent perspectives on branding have claimed that consumers establish relationships with brands (Fournier, 1998). According to this view, one has also to consider that — similar to human relationships — transgressions may occur in such a relationship. Brand misconduct describes a brand's behaviour that consumers do not agree with, e.g. Coca-Cola's introduction of the so-called New Coke in the eighties. After an introduction and definition different forms of misconduct are distinguished. The possible consequences, how the company can react to brand misconduct and, ultimately, the implications for branding theory development are examined.
Brand extensions in the platform countries of Asia – Effects of fit, order of market entry and involvement
2012
More and more Western companies understand that Asian markets offer great opportunities to export goods and services. In addition many investment approaches made to Asian markets take place by entering such markets via so-called platform countries (for example Hong Kong and Singapore), as they serve as a bridge to the Asian market and offer an interesting learning base, with consumers cultural behavior being essentially Asian but with strong Westernized influences. As brand extension research has proved to be of major importance for international companies, we examine the effects of fit, order of market entry and involvement on brand extension evaluations in these platform countries. Althou…
Brand extension: the moderating role of the category to which the brand extension is found
2008
PurposeThe objective of this paper is to evaluate brand extension from a consumer consumption perspective. The most relevant entity becomes both the product and the choice vector. This provides a different aspect of the heterogeneity as it concerns brand extension.Design/methodology/approachNestlé was selected as the brand to be studied and two qualitative studies were carried out on students based on open‐ended interviews. After a pre‐test, two groups of 400 students were selected. The first group was exposed to the diet biscuits in the context of “nibbling” and the second group exposed to the lip applications in the context “protecting my lips”.FindingsThe results confirm the importance o…
Does “Liking” Lead to Loving? The Impact of Joining a Brand's Social Network on Marketing Outcomes
2017
Does “liking” a brand on Facebook cause a person to view it more favorably? Or is “liking” simply a symptom of being fond of a brand? The authors disentangle these possibilities and find evidence for the latter: brand attitudes and purchasing are predicted by consumers' preexisting fondness for brands, and these are the same regardless of when and whether consumers “like” brands on social media. In addition, we explore possible second-order effects by examining whether “liking” brands might cause consumers' friends to view that brand more favorably. When consumers see that a friend has “liked” a brand, they are less likely to buy the brand relative to when they learn that a friend genuinel…
Brand assessment: a key element of marketing strategy
1997
The growing importance of the brand in the life of the company and in consumer perceptions has led many authors to base their analysis on brand value rather than the traditional approach in which its definition, its functions and its characteristics were amply developed. It is becoming increasingly obvious that the brand generates value for the company: brand value is the value of the marginal cash flows generated by a product due to the fact that it is identified with a brand. Brand value is generated by a series of multidimensional assets which interact in a complex way: loyalty; awareness; perceived quality; and identity. One of the main problems for a company wishing to develop a brand …
Store Brands in Tourist Services
2016
A current trend in retailing is the use of a brand extension strategy by supermarkets and hypermarkets, which enhances the store brand’s presence in a growing number of product categories. In the travel services domain, research on store brand extension is scarce. This research paper aims to fill in a gap on brand extension of current traditional store brands to travel services. Based on a sample of 608 individuals, our findings suggest that the likelihood of choosing a travel service offered by a local retailer (hypermarket/supermarket) is directly and positively conditioned by (1) the individual’s overall attitude towards store brands, (2) customer perception of the retailer’s trustworthi…
