Can Social Media Campaigns Backfire? Exploring Consumers' Attitudes and Word-of-Mouth Toward Four Social Media Campaigns and Its Implications on Consumer-Campaign Identification

In response to the unprecedented growth of social media, companies are continuously creating unique social media campaigns encouraging customers to share their advertising messages. However, many of these social campaigns end up backfiring. The purpose of this study is to examine consumers' preferences toward 4 social media campaigns and to investigate the impact of positive and negative word-of-mouth and social value on consumer-campaign identification. Using a sample of 525 respondents in Australia, the results show social media campaigns that contain negative messages are more likely to receive negative word-of-mouth while partnering with non-profit organizations may help generate positive word-of-mouth. This study will assist marketing managers to better understand the consumers' perceptions on recent social media campaigns in Australia.     

视频网站运营中用户评论的作用及实证分析

网络视频的定制情况与视频的评论数量显著正相关,而与其好评率和顶踩数量没有显著关系。也就是说,即使视频的差评很多,也不会对视频的定制造成负面影响,即视频的差评不但没有对视频造成不好的影响,相反,由于加深了用户对视频的印象或者是存在感知,反而对视频的点播有正向作用,但好评的正向作用大于差评。相对于购物网站,视频网站更关注如何吸引用户评论,因为增加用户评论数量会相应地增加点播数量,从而增加整个网站的流量。     

Will they pitch or will they switch? Comparing Chinese and American consumers

This study compares the conditions for consumer satisfaction and word of mouth (WOM) between Chinese and American consumers. The authors utilize a between‐subjects factorial design experiment to investigate the effect of service experience (positive or negative) and consumption context (hedonic vs. utilitarian) across these two cultures. Results indicate that consumers perceive higher levels of satisfaction and switching costs, and provide higher WOM intention for positive than for negative service experiences. The relationship between service experience and perceived switching costs is further moderated by consumption context and culture. Of importance is the critical mediating role of consumer satisfaction in driving perceived switching costs and WOM intention. The comparison of Chinese and American consumers also reveals the distinct switching behaviors between the two groups of consumers, which can be explained from a cultural perspective. The study findings provide insights into provider‐switching and WOM‐spreading behaviors by Chinese and American consumers, under hedonic versus utilitarian consumption contexts.     

基于在线评论的网络零售定价模型研究

在线评论的出现深刻改变着消费者的经济行为模式、企业的赢利性及其定价策略。文章以消费者效用理论为理论基础,以网络零售两阶段销售为背景,建立了一个与在线评论相关的产品定价模型。通过数值模拟发现,在线评论数量越大,则第一阶段产品最优价格越低,第二阶段产品最优价格越高,网络零售商的总利润也越大;第一阶段消费者对产品价值的预期越高,则第一阶段产品最优价格越高,第二阶段产品最优价格越低,而只有当在线评论数量较小时,网络零售商的总利润才随第一阶段消费者对产品价值的预期增加而增加,否则,网络零售商的总利润将随第一阶段消费者对产品价值的预期增加而减少。     

基于网络的消费者社会互动及管理研究

消费者的购买决策受到其他消费者意见和行为的影响,现代技术的发展极大地提升了消费者社会互动作为市场力的重要性,同时信息技术的发展也为企业促进这两种社会互动创造了越来越多的机会。通过介绍口碑传播和观察模仿的内涵,分析其对销售的不同影响及产品生命周期对消费者社会互动的影响,认为企业应在产品的投入期关注消费者社会互动,应在网站上提供现有消费者的选择信息,应慎重提供消费者发布评语的平台,应区分不同等级的顾客;应根据不同的产品市场状况,制定不同的反应策略,正确应对第三方的产品评论,以此管理消费者的社会互动。     

Investigating the consequences of word of mouth from a WOM sender’s perspective in the services context

Abstract

Employing scenario-based experiments, this paper examines the effect of word of mouth (WOM) on the sender’s intention to give future WOM about the focal service provider and the self-enhancement derived from articulating WOM. Extant WOM literature considers self-enhancement as a key driver of positive WOM. This paper provides empirical evidence that a reverse effect exists and that self-enhancement is also an outcome of WOM behaviour. Results indicate that the impact of WOM on self-enhancement has substantive significance and holds for both positive and negative WOM. The effect of WOM on intentions is only partially supported. Finally, tie strength between the WOM participants partially moderates the relationship between the variables. Importantly, the impact of negative WOM is stronger than that of positive WOM.
