Consumer behavior with augmented reality in retail: a review and research agenda
2021
Driven by the rapid technological development and adoption of augmented reality (AR) in retail, academic research has grown rapidly. Our purpose is to understand the reasons why consumers use augmented reality in retail and what outcomes retailers can expect. This study presents a systematic literature review and summarizes the current empirical knowledge on consumer behavior with AR in retail. This topic remains scattered between various literature streams showing that the potential of AR to create value for consumers lays in its ability to generate utilitarian and hedonic value, to improve decision-making, and to enhance personalization of the virtual self. Then, this study warns about ne…
The Contribution of Ethnology to Research in Consumer and Shopper Behavior: Toward Ethnomarketing
2009
This theoretical paper analyzes the influence of ethnology on contemporary research in consumer and shopper behavior and in retailing. Within this framework, it defines the concept of ethnomarketing and sketches its epistemological status and operating rules. The final part points out the managerial contributions of ethnomarketing.
Internet banking adoption among mature customers: early majority or laggards?
2003
Finland is a world leader in electronic banking, and over 39.8 percent of all retail banking transactions were made over the Internet in August 2000. Using the data of a large survey, we analyzed mature customers’ Internet banking behavior. Internet banking was the third popular mode of payment among mature customers. Household income and education were found to have a significant effect on the adoption of the Internet as a banking channel, so that over 30 percent of wealthy and well‐educated mature males make e‐banking their primary mode of making payments. Perceived difficulty in using computers combined with the lack of personal service in e‐banking were found to be the main barriers of …
Eco depletion: The impact of hunger on prosociality by means of environmentally friendly attitudes and behavior
2021
Abstract The present research investigated the impact of hunger on prosociality in a consumer choice context by means of environmentally friendly attitudes and behavior. Two eye-tracking studies were conducted with hunger measured (Study 1) and manipulated (Study 2). The data were analyzed through bivariate correlations, Pearson's chi-square tests, and analyses of variance (ANOVAs). Our findings, based on cross-sectional and experimental evidence from field and lab settings, revealed that hungry consumers express more prosocial attitudes than their satiated counterparts in terms of general environmental concerns and importance ratings of buying eco-labeled products. However, we found no sig…
Biometric Measures for Interactive Advertising Research
2011
ABSTRACTModern marketers seek new research paradigms to explore preconscious, nonverbal stages of consumer behavior, often turning to brain science because some mental processes, particularly those underlying conscious awareness, may be better understood by analyzing neurophysiological reactions. A new discipline, consumer neuroscience, thus examines the brain and its functioning in a marketing context. This article demonstrates how consumer neuroscience can contribute to existing marketing knowledge, with a focus on two methods: electroencephalography (EEG) and eye-tracking. In interactive environments, it is ideal to administer brain wave analyses in parallel with observations of eye move…
Mobile banking and consumer behaviour: New insights into the diffusion pattern
2004
Technological advancement has challenged the providers of financial services; the very nature of selling and buying financial services has changed. Mobile devices are among the newest channels to conduct banking electronically. This paper focuses on studying diffusion and adopters of mobile banking services. Previous research has identified the typical characteristics of a potential adopter in the electronic services era; this paper explores some contradictory empirical findings drawn from a mobile banking survey. The results provide an indication of the characteristics of potential subsequent adopters of mobile banking, and of differences between user segments. Consequently, the authors ar…
The effect of personal involvement on the decision to buy store brands
2002
Store brands are appearing in an ever‐increasing number of categories and their acceptance by consumers is unquestionable. The purpose of this paper is to model the decision process involved in a purchase which the consumer goes through when choosing store brands over national brands. The model provided allows us to explain why the same consumer may choose a store brand in one product category and not in another. We have taken personal product involvement as the principal point of reference.
Antecedents and implications of search engine use as prepurchase information tools
2009
The aim of this research is to analyse the antecedents and implications of using search engines as prepurchase information tools. The impact of internet use experience, internet shopping experience and online shopping motivations on the use of information provided by search engines in online purchases is analysed together with attitudinal changes deriving from search engine use (online purchase intention). Data analysis shows that the experiences as internet user and as internet shopper are negative key drivers of search engine use. The use of search engines in online purchase decisions is more likely in consumers with utilitarian shopping motivations than in consumers with hedonic shopping…
Effect of price increases on future intentions of sport consumers
2014
This work analyzes the relationships between perceived value, satisfaction and future intentions among users of a public sport service who experience a price increase in the service they receive. A self-administered survey provides data from two samples (before and after the service price increase). After confirming the reliability and validity of the measures, hierarchical multiple regression provides the means for analyzing the data. The results show that the increase in the service price worsens the perception of service performance. As expected, satisfaction, perceived value and future intentions decrease following an increase in the service price. Perceived value also serves as a more …
Predicting future intentions of basketball spectators using SEM and fsQCA
2016
This study analyzes relationships among service quality, perceived value, satisfaction, emotions, and future intentions of spectators of a professional basketball competition using a sample of 429 basketball spectators of a premier division in Spain. The results from structural equation modeling support the hypotheses, except for the effect of emotions and match result on future intentions. The results from fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) with the same data set show that none of the variables are necessary conditions for positive future intentions of spectators. However, seven combinations of these variables are sufficient conditions for explaining positive future intenti…
