How can perceived consistency in marketing communications influence customer-brand relationship outcomes?
2020
Abstract This paper examines the impact of perceived consistency in marketing communications on customer–brand relationship outcomes. The perception of consistent message and image through different marketing communication tools is one of the basic principles of the integrated marketing communications (IMC) approach. Although literature suggests that IMC might have an influence on customer–brand relationship outcomes, empirical evidence that supports this assumption is still weak and inconclusive. Three main brand relationship outcomes are established for the purpose of the study, i.e. trust, commitment, and loyalty. The relationships between perceived communication consistency and brand ou…

2021
Conspicuous consumption symbolizes ostentatious and material consumption through the purchase of products and services with a higher economic value and that allows their consumers to excel socially.

Efeitos da Responsabilidade Social Corporativa na lealdade do consumidor com a marca
2019
Purpose – This paper analyses the influence of CSR associations on brand loyalty. We propose a theoretical model that includes the mediating role of brand awareness, brand attitude and customer satisfaction in the effect of CSR on loyalty, measured as a second-order reflective construct. Design/methodology/approach – We propose a theoretical model estimated via the analysis of covariance structures using EQS 6.1. Data were obtained using an online survey of 351 Spanish sportswear consumers. Findings – This study illustrates that CSR associations have a direct, positive influence on loyalty, and an indirect influence through their positive effect on brand awareness and consumer satisfaction.…
Markenpersönlichkeit als Determinante von Markenloyalität
2002
Brand personality, a crucial part of brand image, can be conceived as a key to the emotional qualities of a product. To demonstrate the potential value of a brand’s personality for consumers and companies, we investigate consequences of congruity between brand personality and consumer self-concept from a post-purchase perspective. We use brand loyalty as an ultimate dependent variable for our model. In order to improve the understanding of self-congruity, we also introduce determinants of congruent consumer-brand relationships. For the first time, an application of self-congruity theory is embedded in a causal-analytical framework. The proposed framework provides insight into consumer-brand…
The Many Faces of Interactivity in Convergent Media Environments. Assessing Uses and Effects of Interactivity from a User and Management Perspective
2013
Digitization has blurred the distinctions between producers and audiences. Thus, research on interactivity as a key element of convergent media environments has grown dramatically over the past three decades. However, despite this strong research interest there is currently no consensus about the multi-faced and hard-to-grasp concept. Obviously, interactivity is used to describe numerous processes in convergent media environments that are related to communication in general, and online communication and practices like online journalism in particular. This article highlights the main strands in the conceptual development of interactivity and explores some of the effects of interactivity by s…

The complex nature of brand relationships : interpersonal or parasocial love?
2016
Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli tarjota syvällisempää ymmärrystä kuluttajien ja heidän lempibrändiensä välisten suhteiden luonteesta. Syvempi ymmärrys auttaa organisaatioita rakentamaan ja kehittämään omia brändejä, sekä ymmärtämään, mitä kuluttajat tuntevat brändejä kohtaan ja miksi. Tutkimus keskittyi erityisesti kahteen eri suhdetyyppiin – interpersonaaliseen ja parasosiaaliseen – sekä siihen, kumpaa näistä suhdetyypeistä tutkimus edustaa. Suhteita arvioitiin myös brändihistorian, brändiuskollisuuden ja brändirakkauden käsitteiden kautta. Tutkimuskysymykset olivat 1) liittyykö brändisuhteisiin interpersonaalisia piirteitä, 2) liittyykö brändisuhteisiin parasosiaalisia piirteitä, ja 3…
Increasingly emotional design for growingly pragmatic users? A report from Finland
2012
Researchers and practitioners in the field of information and communication technologies (ICT) have for a while been embracing the concepts of user and consumer experience as well as emotions in design, encouraging the industry to emphasise hedonic and symbolic qualities of products and services, over and beyond their utilitarian characteristics. However, the idea that mobile phone users, for instance, seek increasingly experience-rich, personalised products can not be taken for granted. Therefore, it is valuable to investigate the degree to which users really share designers' increasingly socio-emotional stances. The presented longitudinal study investigated users' mobile phone-related pro…
