Evaluating Dance Consumption through the Experiential Value Approach
2018
Purpose – The experiential paradigm has been confirmed as a valuable means to explore and understand people’s consumption of cultural services, thus drawing an increasing interest in the marketing and consumer behavior literature. In this context, consumers’ behavioral decisions are considered not as merely functional but also strongly influenced by emotional dimensions and intrinsic aspects. As consumption of arts is strongly associated with feelings, the experiential approach is a valuable lens for exploring and understanding individuals who consume cultural services. This paper therefore adopts the experiential approach to assess dance as a consumption experience, which is meant to be in…

Wine Tourism and On-Site Wine Sales

This model was adopted and enhanced in Europe, followed by other great viticultural regions of the world, in particular the United States (Robert Mondavi’s objective was to educate the publ…
JIFAM Special Issue on Experiential Marketing: Perspectives from the International Agro-food Sector
2022
Globalization in the food sector has increased over the past few decades, resulting in consumers finding little differentiation between food products, and consumers who are less loyal to the brand.

The rise of Experiential Marketing has led to businesses advertising and selling their offerings based on experiences rather than just the characteristics and quality of the product, meaning consumers are increasingly motivated by emotio…
Improving Residents’ Quality of Life Through Sustainable Experiential Mega-Events: High- Versus Low-Context Cultures
2020
Public managers need to improve city residents’ quality of life as a first step to boost its tourism development. Marketing strategies can play a useful role, as the city marketing theory states. The present article aims to compare the efficacy of two marketing strategies embedded in a public mega-event: (a) an experiential strategy, based on emotions encourage during the event and (b) a green strategy, based on green actions linked to this event. Furthermore, following Hall’s theory of cultural determination, this article aims to compare these strategies’ efficacy in two alternative cultures: a high-context (Mexico) and a low-context culture (Spain). We contacted 202 and 204 residents in …
The communicative power of an extreme territory – the Italian island of Pantelleria and its passito wine

Design/methodology/approach All websites of wineries producing passito wine in Pantelleria were analyzed using the adaptation, goal-attainment, integration and latent pattern maintenance (AGIL) scheme for measuring communication dimensions. Findings Results suggest that wineries and stakeholders should apply territory-…
Influence of Coherent Context for Positioning Distinctive and Iconic Sicilian Sparkling Wines: Effect of a Sensorial Experience on a Gulet
2022
Spumante wines produced in Sicily region (southern Italy) have sensorial characteristics significantly different from those produced in other Italian regions, because of the great differences of terroir. Offering a product included in a coherent and consistent context allows consumers to differentiate in the marketplace. The aim of this study is to propose solutions for Sicilian wineries for positioning Sicilian Spumante in the market, based on empirical data. Moreover, it was investigated whether a positive experience in a context consistent with the Sicilian sparkling wines could influence consumers’ consumption intentions. A blind sensory test was performed by 146 expert wine tasters. Op…
