品牌原产地困惑对于消费者喜爱与购买本土品牌和境外品牌的影响

以消费者行为理论和品牌原产地效应的研究文献为基础，通过对调查数据进行统计分析，本文提出与检验了品牌原产地困惑对于中国消费者喜爱与购买本土品牌和境外品牌的影响作用。结论如下：第一，在中国现有环境下，消费者越是误认为一个本土品牌是境外品牌，就倾向于越喜欢这个品牌；越是误认为一个境外品牌是本土品牌，就倾向于越不喜欢这个品牌。第二，本土品牌知名度对于本土品牌原产地困惑和消费者喜好本土品牌之间的正相关关系有负向的调节作用；不过，境外品牌知名度的调节作用则不明显。第三，品牌原产地困惑对于中国消费者购买本土品牌有负向影响，对中国消费者购买境外品牌则无显著影响。     

购买经历对中国消费者品牌特性感知和品牌偏好的影响:基于ELM视角

本文以ELM理论和学习理论为基础,通过问卷调查法,检验了购买经历对于中国消费者品牌特性感知和品牌偏好的影响作用,从新的视角解释了购买经历对消费者态度转变的形成机制。研究发现:在中国现有环境下,对于低卷入度产品,消费者倾向于采用边缘路径形成对品牌特性的感知和品牌偏好,因此有过购买经历的消费者与那些没有购买经历的消费者相比,会对本土品牌形成较高的特性评价和品牌偏好;对于高卷入度产品,消费者对本土品牌倾向于采用边缘路径形成对品牌特性的感知和品牌偏好,对境外品牌则既可能采用中枢也可能采用边缘路径,具体要视品牌的类型而定,有无购买经历会对不同类型的品牌产生不同的影响。

基于品牌关系的品牌理论:研究模型及展望

基于品牌关系的品牌理论是品牌研究的最新阶段。本文对这一学术领域的西方研究前沿进行跟踪研究 ,焦点是品牌关系模型 ,再结合基于中国文化的人际关系研究的深厚成果和跨学科角度 ,探索提出了几个新的研究思路和方向。     

消费者-品牌关系的影响因素:一项探索性研究

近年来,消费者-品牌关系已经成为品牌研究领域的一个热点,但是,以前的研究比较偏重对品牌关系的维度和测量指标的探讨,有关消费者-品牌关系的影响机制的研究比较缺乏。如果采用开放性问卷进行调查,将探索出影响消费者-品牌关系的主要因素。同时对调查结果的内容进行分析,识别出五种影响消费者-品牌关系的因素类别,确认了一系列促进或破坏消费者-品牌关系的企业行为,并按照"企业能力"因素和"企业社会责任"因素的分类框架对这些企业行为进行系统分类。     

品牌关系形成机制研究

品牌关系是指将品牌虚拟成人,研究品牌和消费者之间的关系。作为将关系营销范式移植到品牌营销理论之后出现的前沿研究领域,品牌关系引起众多学者的关注。由于品牌关系源自西方,理论界对于品牌关系的研究主要建立在西方个人主义的行为模式上。而在以集体主义价值观为背景下的中国,这些建立在个人主义行为模式上的理论在我国的应用具有一定的局限性。本文结合国内外的研究成果,构建了一种中国文化背景下品牌关系影响及作用机制。     

消费者-品牌关系分类研究综述

消费者-品牌关系类型的差异不仅体现其关系性质及质量的差异,更隐含着消费者与品牌之间互动方式与互动规范的差异。本文基于消费者-品牌关系内涵的探讨,对关系分类方式进行梳理并将其划分为三类,即基于关系形态差异的分类、基于关系形成过程差异的分类、基于关系效用差异的分类,进而提出关系分类研究对消费者-品牌关系研究的重要意义。     

何为死忠粉?品牌崇拜的概念和维度研究——基于网络志方法

针对品牌的粉丝群体、敬畏感、神圣化的新现象和相关研究正在成为品牌研究学者关注的前沿课题,然而已有文献并未揭示忠实粉丝与其热衷的对象品牌之间的关系性质和特征。以苹果品牌的忠实粉丝为研究对象,论文遵循消费者文化理论范式,首先通过网络志收集网络社群中的网帖作为质性数据,然后采用崇拜性维度理论对数据进行分析和解释,从而对品牌崇拜的概念进行了探索和界定,并构建了其三维度模型,包括品牌信念、品牌崇敬感和品牌热诚。论文发现忠实粉丝与其所热衷的对象品牌之间的关系已经超越了世俗情感依恋关系,开始向精神层面上升并具有了崇拜性特征,是对消费者品牌关系理论的补充和拓展。     

重新理解品牌功能评价过程:基于产品意义建构模型

对消费者如何做出品牌功能评价这一营销理论中的基本问题,现有研究受制于联想方法,一直没有建立理论模型。该研究假定,消费者以目标取向的意义建构方式形成了超越物理属性联想的品牌产品知识,并在这一过程中形成品牌功能评价。建立概念模型并对其进行了检验。结果表明,消费者建构工具性的品牌产品知识维度,即品牌独特性、品牌先进性、品牌正宗性和品牌优异性直接或间接地影响了品牌功能评价,而其对品牌本身的认知也直接或间接地影响工具性的品牌产品知识维度的建构,并最终影响品牌功能评价。研究结果对重新理解消费者的品牌功能评价提供了新的理论解释;为企业重新定义产品的塑造战略,更新产品管理体系和开展营销创新提供了指引。

中国文化背景下的消费者-品牌关系:理论建构与实证研究

Using the theory of indigenous interpersonal relationship and the metaphor of the brand-as-relationship-partner (BARP), this paper develops a theoretical construct of consumer-brand relationship in the Chinese context and proposes a brand relationship framework that consists of four basic types, namely “family member”, “good friend”, “cooperation partner”, and “acquaintance”. This paper also reports the findings of two studies that test the acceptability of the theoretical construct. Study 1 proves that the relationship metaphor is suitable for the appraisal of consumer-brand relationship in the Chinese context. Study 2 confirms that the brand relationship types and brand relationship quality have satisfactory concurrent validity.     

Reviving brand loyalty: A reconceptualization within the framework of consumer-brand relationships

This paper uses the perspective of interpersonal relationship theory to critically examine, reposition, and extend the notion of brand loyalty. Depth interviews among eight coffee-consuming adults who qualified as brand loyal by traditional criteria provide the data. The result is a deeper appreciation of the character of loyal consumer-brand relations and a sharper awareness of the limitations to understanding that current theoretical frameworks impose. Specifically, the authors suggest that: (1) not all loyal brand relationships are alike, in strength or in character; (2) many brand relationships not identified as ‘loyal’ according to dominant theoretical conceptions are especially meaningful from the cunsumer's point of view; and (3) current approaches to classification accept some brand relationships that, upon close scrutiny, do not possess assumed characteristics of ‘loyalty’ or ‘strength’ at all. Ideas stemming from a reframing of loyalty as one component in a multifaceted construct of relationship strength are put forth, encouraging a move from the metaphor of ‘loyalty’ to the broader notion of ‘relationships’ that encompasses it.     

消费者怀旧情感对品牌忠诚的影响

每个消费者都或多或少存在怀旧情感,企业很早就开始利用消费者的怀旧需求开展怀旧营销。消费者品牌关系是品牌忠诚的重要影响因素,而消费者怀旧水平对品牌信任与依恋有一定的影响,品牌信任和依恋对品牌承诺有很大的促进作用,品牌承诺是品牌忠诚的核心驱动因素。由此可见,消费者的怀旧情感可以通过品牌关系的中介而作用于品牌忠诚,企业可以通过开发各种营销策略,为消费者提供怀旧体验的平台,从而提高消费者的品牌忠诚度。     

A higher-order model of consumer brand engagement and its impact on loyalty intentions

Consumer brand engagement is increasingly gaining popularity among practitioners and academics as a prominent consumer-brand relationship construct. The emergent literature on consumer brand engagement, largely conceptual, offers various definitions of the construct, though without much consensus. We offer a novel higher-order model of consumer brand engagement that we derive from organizational psychology. We adapt the concept of employee engagement and examine its factorial validity in a consumer-brand relationship context, defining consumer brand engagement as consumers' positive, fulfilling, brand-use-related state of mind that is characterized by vigor, dedication and absorption. We develop and empirically test a three-dimensional model of brand engagement, outlining relevant antecedents and outcomes. More importantly, we assess the managerial utility of consumer brand engagement by examining its impact on consumer loyalty intentions. We additionally compare the explanatory capability of brand engagement relative to traditional consumer judgments of value, quality and satisfaction. A survey of 408 mobile phone consumers from India provided data for empirical testing. The results support the three-dimensional factor structure of consumer brand engagement. Brand engagement not only exerts a significant impact on loyalty intentions, but also explains significantly more variation in the outcome in addition to the variation explained jointly by value, quality and satisfaction. Theoretically, we offer a holistic multi-dimensional measure of consumer brand engagement, and examine key nomological relationships. Managerially, we demonstrate the explanatory capability of brand engagement in explaining consumer loyalty intentions, offering a useful tool in the relationship-building repertoire of managers.

Brand wars: consumer–brand engagement beyond client–agency fights

Engaging consumers with their brands has emerged as a priority in marketers’ agenda. Brand decision-makers share a clear representational view of consumer-brand engagement (CBE). Despite this agreement, practitioners are currently finding hard to practically achieve CBE. The clash between an ideal representation of CBE focused on consumer protagonism and its fragile execution urges a rethinking of consumer-brand relationship modes and timeframe. We argue that this clash is nurtured by the long-established conflicting relational dynamics among brand decision-makers illustrated by client–agency (CA) disputes of which consumers represent the ending-point recipient. This paper reflects on how consumer protagonism as an inherent component of CBE is currently reshaping the relation dynamics among all brand actors. We represent CBE as a relational hub resting upon a co-creation rather than a separation logic. We finally provide a pragmatic reflection on the relationship culture required by CBE among actors beyond the CA dyad.     

品牌性别如何影响品牌时尚——一个跨行业多品牌实证研究

可从品牌管理语境审视社会学、文化学领域关于时尚与性别关系的规范性价值判断,引入消费者性别和品牌类别两个调节变量,借鉴荣格原型梦验证方法,利用多行业、多类别品牌调查数据考查时尚品牌性别气质。结果发现,时尚在所有品牌特征变量中表现最为鲜明,具有原型特征和意义;品牌女性和中性气质对品牌时尚性的正向影响远高于品牌男性气质的影响,消费者生理性别对此无调节效应,消费者气质性别仅对品牌女性和男性气质有较弱调节效应,对品牌中性气质无调节效应,显示了品牌性别对品牌时尚作用模式的稳定性;品牌类别调节效应显著,与新品牌相比,老字号时尚性较弱,且受品牌女性和男性气质影响较大,品牌中性气质同样不受调节,因此老字号提升时尚感宜弱化其传统、严肃的男性历史印象,增加品牌女性和中性气质。性别气质的复杂性、生物进化的雌性选择理论可以解释这一商业现象的生物和社会学基础,即为何品牌女性和中性气质对品牌时尚性的影响高于品牌男性气质。这为品牌时尚管理提供了一个性别视角,即营造时尚不仅要在品牌图形、字体、发音、代言人等可见层面进行性别调整,更要全面发挥和协同女性智慧,而这不仅需要女性管理者更多参与,而且需要男性管理者借鉴吸收女性智慧和思维。     

Antecedents of consumer-brand identification in terms of belonging brands

This study aims to identify the antecedents that affect the brand belonging of consumers. Structural equation modelling method was used. The most critical variable that directly affects consumer-brand identification is brand-lifestyle congruence. This variable was followed by brand self-congruity, memorable brand experience and brand identity. The variables that indirectly affect consumer-brand identification are brand identity, brand-lifestyle congruence, brand self-congruity, functional and social value. Functional and social value only indirectly affected consumer-brand identification. Regarding this effect, social value positively affected consumer-brand identification, while functional value negatively affected consumer-brand identification. Brand self-congruity was affected by brand-lifestyle congruence, brand identity, functional, social and emotional value.     

品牌仪式的“见”之效应：品牌仪式如何影响消费者信任

受新冠肺炎疫情的影响，大多消费者只能在线观看企业通过互联网实施的品牌仪式，然而以往研究更多揭示的是消费者直接参与的仪式效应，鲜有消费者不直接参与的仪式研究。基于社会交换理论，文章运用实验法探讨了当消费者见到但不实际参与品牌仪式时，品牌仪式对消费者信任的影响机制，即品牌仪式的“见”之效应。结果表明：作为视觉材料呈现的品牌仪式（对比随机动作）也能激活消费者的仪式感知，增加消费者对品牌的信任。原因在于当消费者从品牌仪式的互动体验中获取相应的积极情感资源（心流体验）后，会更倾向与品牌建立信任关系。此外，消费者品牌关系规范会调节品牌仪式对消费者信任的影响，对于共享型关系中的消费者，品牌仪式通过增强消费者心流体验，进而增加消费者对品牌的信任，但对于交易型关系中的消费者，该效应消失。     

“Regretting your brand-self?” The moderating role of consumer-brand identification on consumer responses to purchase regret

Extending the study of consumer-brand relationships in the post-purchase stages of consumer decision making and in situations involving unfavorable comparisons with foregone brands, this research investigates the role of consumer-brand identification on consumer responses to purchase regret. Drawing on regret theory and consumer-brand relationship literature, the authors argue that consumer-brand identification immunizes the brand from the negative consequences of purchase regret through the amplification of consumers' cognitive regret regulation and the attenuation of consumers' behavioral regret coping. An empirical study using scenario manipulation of regret for participants' favorite brands provides support to the protective role of consumer-brand identification. The results indicate that consumer-brand identification attenuates the negative effects of regret on satisfaction and behavioral intentions and strengthens the positive impact of satisfaction on brand repurchase/recommendation intent. The findings enrich regret and consumer-brand relationship theories and provide managerial insights for effective branding strategy development under conditions of intense competitive pressure.
