How store design contributes to the evolution of retail brand positioning : a longitudinal case study
2014
One of the innovative ways favoured by retailers to drive change in their value proposition is to review the design of their stores. Academic contributions to the in-store experience have mostly focused on consumer perspective and identifying relevant managerial practices. The core of this research studies how repositioning a retail brand translates into the experiential design of retail spaces. To this end, the research follows the repositioning process from a managerial perspective and updates the mechanisms that underlie it. The longitudinal study of embedded cases reveals the importance of an holistic design that takes into account the desired interactions between the shopper and the st…
LAS REDES SOCIALES VIRTUALES Y LAS MARCAS: INFLUENCIA DEL INTERCAMBIO DE EXPERIENCIAS eC2C SOBRE LA ACTITUD DE LOS USUARIOS HACIA LA MARCA
2013
RESUMENFrente a la irrupción de los nuevos medios de comunicación digital, las marcas se enfrentan al desafio de encontrar nuevos formatos, tonos y contenidos que capturen la atención de los usuarios que navegan por las redes sociales. Este artículo indaga la eficacia publicitaria de las campañas en redes sociales virtuales (actitud hacia el anuncio, actitud hacia la marca e intención de compra) utilizando el Modelo de Mediación Dual y el MOA (motivación, oportunidad, habilidad).

The event website quality is responsible for maintaining and attracting consumers and creating a positive attitude towards the brand. The purpose of this study was to examine key variables that affect the behavior of online sport event consumers. Specifically, it explores e-quality and e-satisfaction and how they influence the attitude towards the website and the brand. Structural equation model tests revealed that a positive quality can determine a positive attitude to the web site, even the consumer is not satisfied with it. On the other hand, the stakeholder needs to pay attention…

Survey data and Bayesian analysis: a cost-efficient way to estimate customer equity
2014
We present a Bayesian framework for estimating the customer lifetime value (CLV) and the customer equity (CE) based on the purchasing behavior deducible from the market surveys on customer purchasing behavior. The proposed framework systematically addresses the challenges faced when the future value of customers is estimated based on survey data. The scarcity of the survey data and the sampling variance are countered by utilizing the prior information and quantifying the uncertainty of the CE and CLV estimates by posterior distributions. Furthermore, information on the purchase behavior of the customers of competitors available in the survey data is integrated to the framework. The introduc…
Online content consumption experiences as drivers of engagement behaviors and recommendation intention
2017
Internet ja sosiaalinen media ovat luoneet uusia tapoja yrityksille olla vuorovaikutuksessa nykyisten ja potentiaalisten asiakkaiden kanssa. Yritysten päättäjät ovat tietoisia sitoutuneiden asiakkaiden tuomista positiivisista vaikutuksista yritykselle. Sitoutuneet asiakkaat ovat usein tyytyväisiä, uskollisia ja osapuolten välillä vallitsee luottamus. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää joitakin asiakassitoutumiseen johtavia tekijöitä sekä sitä seuraavia asioita. Asiakkaiden itse kokemia ja raportoimia aikomuksia voidaan käyttää ennustamaan esimerkiksi tulevaa myyntiä. Sisältömarkkinoinnin rooli on kasvanut viime aikoina ja mielenkiintoisten sisältöjen tuotannon tarkoituksena on hou…
Letter-case information and the identification of brand names.
2014
A central tenet of most current models of visual-word recognition is that lexical units are activated on the basis of case-invariant abstract letter representations. Here, we examined this assumption by using a unique type of words: brand names. The rationale of the experiments is that brand names are archetypically printed either in lowercase (e.g., adidas) or uppercase (e.g., IKEA). This allows us to present the brand names in their standard or non-standard case configuration (e.g., adidas, IKEA vs. ADIDAS, ikea, respectively). We conducted two experiments with a brand-decision task (‘is it a brand name?’): a single-presentation experiment and a masked priming experiment. Results in the s…
Music festivals as mediators and their influence on consumer awareness
2020
Abstract Cultural products compete for public awareness in markets with high uncertainty, oversupply and a short product life cycle. Altogether, this means that only a small fraction of all releases generate the necessary consumer awareness to achieve a significant commercial success. This paper aims at identifying the informational function music festivals serve in cultural markets and how it translates into consumer discovery of cultural supply. To do so, we empirically measure informational spillover effects to performers at an established music festival. We hypothesize that this effect stems from the reputation attached to the brand equity of cultural organizations, is asymmetric, as it…
In Vitro Expression of the Endothelial Phenotype: Comparative Study of Primary Isolated Cells and Cell Lines, Including the Novel Cell Line HPMEC-ST1…
2002
Endothelial cell lines are commonly used in in vitro studies to avoid problems associated with the use of primary endothelial cells such as the presence of contaminating cells, the difficulty in obtaining larger numbers of cells, as well as the progressive loss of cell viability and expression of endothelial markers in the course of in vitro propagation. We have analyzed the characteristics defining distinctive endothelial phenotypes in the cell lines EA.hy926, ECV304, EVLC2, HAEND, HMEC-1, ISO-HAS-1 and a cell line recently generated in our laboratory, HPMEC-ST1.6R, and have compared these phenotypes with those found in primary human endothelial cells isolated from umbilical vein (HUVEC), …
