From the memory of the experience to the relationship with the retailer : a theoretical and methodological exploration in the field of retail
2015
Our research proposes an enrichment of the experiential paradigm by focusing on the consequences of experience. We support the view that an approach by the memory of the experience can partly compensate for the limitations of satisfaction in understanding the retailer-customer relationship. Our literature review leads us to a better understanding of the relationship between experience, memory of the experience and remembered experience. The completion of two longitudinal studies helps to: [1]. conceptualize dimensions of the memory of the shopping experience; [2]. understand the evolution of memory over time; [2]. study its effects on satisfaction, retailer attitude, retailer commitment, an…

Huge differences between Western and Eastern Europe are visible also in terms of per capita values for retail space. Thus, the purpose of …
