Creating Meaningful Brands: The Relationship Between Brand Name and Brand Mark

Marketing theorists espouse that the long-term success of a brand is contingent upon the proper selection and operationalization of brand meaning prior to market entry. Nevertheless, prior research has not addressed how to design multiple branding elements that together can convey consistent brand meaning. Results of the first study support a relationship between structural characteristics of the brand name (e.g., front vs. back vowels) and the brand mark's size, shape, and color. The second study found that brands with marks that are consistent in design with the brand name better communicate intended brand meaning. An important implication is that a properly operationalized brand may require fewer marketing expenditures to create brand image.     

过度信息市场环境的基本特征及品牌竞争机理

本文认为,买方市场竞争和信息技术的交互作用,使得信息过量生成、繁殖和传播,导致过度信息市场环境的形成。过度信息市场环境具有同质化与不易识别的过度特征,具体表现为资源性与文化性、竞争性与虚泛性、趋同性与模仿性、难识别性与风险性。文章提出,过度信息市场环境下的品牌定位机理、品牌传播机理和品牌生成机理是品牌战略理念的本质、竞争方式和建构视角,品牌建构要基于品牌识别、要素权重识别及关联维度识别等战略因素进行。

Who spoils the barrel? Negative spillover effect on competitor brands during food crises

Despite an increase in food crisis incidents and their negative influence, little attention has been paid to spillover effects from food crises on competitor brands. Thus, this study examined reciprocal spillover effects (horizontal and vertical) from food crises on competitors' brands depending on the directionality of spillover and association strength. In order to test the reciprocal spillover effects on competitor brands, this study employed an experimental design using restaurant brands’ food crises. The results indicated that a stronger negative spillover was found among high equity brands (High to High compared to Low to Low) and when association strength was high rather than low. Interestingly, the results also showed a spillover effect from low equity brands to high equity brands (Low to High compared to High to Low), supporting the power of a small apple to spoil the whole barrel. These results enhanced the field’s understanding of spillover effects in the restaurant industry and suggested the need for pre-crisis communication strategies.     

Gender,loyalty card membership,age, and critical incident recovery: Do they moderate experience-loyalty relationship?

The study examines the critical role of customer experience in determining hotel brand loyalty and the moderating role of gender, loyalty card membership, age, and critical incident recovery in this relationship. Based on a sample of 408 hotel guests and employing structural equation modeling approach, dimensions that comprise ‘customer experience with hotel brands’—hotel location, hotel staff competence, hotel stay, and ambience, hotel website and social media, and guest-to-guest experience—are found to have relative effects on hotel brand loyalty. The results contribute to hospitality realm by suggesting the moderating effect of gender, loyalty card membership, age, and critical incident recovery on customer experience-loyalty relationship. Implications for managerial practice and theory are discussed together with limitations and further research directions.     

The Renminbi as a Trading Currency: Evidence from Selected Countries Participating in the Belt and Road Initiative

This paper investigates the effects of the renminbi (RMB) exchange rate on trade prices and volumes in selected Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) countries in comparison with the effects of the US dollar. The stylized facts show that the RMB is underused in bilateral trade with selected BRI countries where intermediate goods dominate. By estimating the level of exchange rate pass‐through and trade volume elasticity, we find that the RMB is significantly correlated with the volume of imports in the sample countries, predicted by the producer currency pricing (PCP) paradigm. We also regroup intermediate and final goods between China and the BRI countries. The evidence shows that dollar fluctuation affects export volumes, reflecting the role of the US as a final goods destination, whereas the RMB exerts a significant impact on the volume of intermediate goods imported from China to the sample countries due to China's important position in global value chains.     

Wine Tourists’ Destination Region Brand Image Perception and Antecedents: Conceptualization of a Winescape Framework

This study conceptualizes the winescape framework using a wine region's image as perceived by wine tourists, in the process integrating grounded theory, namely servicescape, destination choice, and place-based marketing theories. Using an a priori approach, it identifies the winescape construct in a framework of eight dimensions within the wine tourism environment in a study with 996 respondents in a well-known Canadian wine region. The most important dimension of the winescape is the region's natural beauty/setting (landscape). Other high impact characteristics are the service staff and friendly local people, overall ambience and the diversity of wine estates. The dynamic of first-time and repeat visitation plays a key role in visitors’ wine tourism behavior and their perception of the winescape. The decision to engage in wine tourism is generally impulsive, even spurious, and the motivations guiding the visitors’ behavior predominantly hedonic in nature.
