虚拟品牌社区顾客参与价值共创如何提升品牌关系?——品牌体验的中介作用

虚拟品牌社区已经成为顾客参与价值共创的典型平台,而品牌关系是虚拟品牌社区得以存在的基础,也是虚拟品牌社区创建和发展的根本目标。企业通过虚拟品牌社区吸引更多的顾客参与新产品开发或营销互动,以及鼓励社区内顾客之间的体验分享,来加强虚拟品牌社区的品牌关系,然而,上述关系及作用机理还缺乏完善的实证验证。本研究从广义品牌关系视角,运用实证数据验证了虚拟品牌社区顾客参与价值共创对品牌关系的影响,并检验了品牌体验在二者关系中的中介作用。研究结果表明,虚拟品牌社区广义品牌关系由顾客品牌/产品关系、顾客顾客关系和顾客企业关系三个维度组成;顾客参与发起的价值共创和自发的价值共创对品牌关系都具有显著正向影响;加入品牌体验后,顾客参与发起的价值共创和自发的价值共创完全通过品牌体验影响品牌关系,即品牌体验在顾客参与发起和自发的价值共创各自与品牌关系之间起完全中介作用。该研究成果不但丰富了虚拟品牌社区环境下品牌关系和价值共创的理论成果,而且为提升虚拟品牌社区品牌关系寻找到了新的路径。

调节定向在品牌忠诚动态形成过程中的作用

现有基于消费者—品牌关系对品牌忠诚影响因素的实证研究发现,品牌信任和品牌情感是品牌忠诚的决定因素。尽管很多学者认为应该从动态的视角认识忠诚的概念,却没有随着时间推移来研究消费者品牌忠诚的发展过程的文献。为了弥补现有营销文献中这一理论的不足,文章提供了一个关于品牌情感和品牌信任同时影响品牌忠诚形成过程的动态研究。通过一个纵向情境模拟实验研究发现随着时间的推移,品牌信任和品牌情感在品牌忠诚的形成过程中作用在不断变化,并且消费者自我调节定向与品牌信任或品牌情感的的匹配会增强其在品牌忠诚形成过程中的作用。     

Building the Charity Brand Community

The current article extends the concept of brand community to the charity sector. While the charity sector has begun to embrace the relationship marketing paradigm, brand communities represent a unique form of relationship marketing that can have a significant impact on nonprofits. A conceptual model of brand community development in the charity sector is proposed, and two unique mechanisms by which charity brand communities might develop — the cognitive and experiential‐learning mechanisms — are proposed. Not only do these mechanisms offer unique insights into how brand communities might develop, but they also explain how “sense of community” becomes a dominant influence on supporter loyalty. Research propositions concerning the influence of specific markers of brand community upon charity support behavior, are also presented.

This study aimed at exploring the impact of social media marketing activities (SMM) on brand loyalty via brand trust and brand equity. Based on an online survey of 287 users who follow telecommunications companies on social media located in Egypt, data was collected and analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results revealed that SMM activities comprise only three dimensions; trendiness, customization and word-of-mouth. These attributes of social media marketing directly influence brand loyalty and indirectly influence brand equity mediated by brand trust.

Impact of Food Brand Controversy on Consumers’ Attitude Toward Brand and Company

It is critical to understand the impact of controversy on the consumer. There is a scarcity of research measuring post-controversy consumer attitude on both product and corporate brand during a controversy. The study is based on a recent brand controversy linked with instant noodle brand “Maggi” in India. The study examines impact on brand perceived quality, credibility, trust and loyalty, and attitude about brand and company. Data have been collected during July–October 2015 when the brand Maggi was banned in India due to quality-related controversy. Results indicate that respondents, with higher post-controversy brand loyalty, hold positive attitudes about brand. The interaction effect reveals that the relationship is significant and positive. During controversy, consumers’ attitude about brand and company is not identical. For a strong brand, consumers may have positive attitude but they become quite negative about company.
