Abstract

In the last few decennium, research pertaining to brand has gained the attention of many academician. Interest in further studies of matters related to it, such as brand love and brand engagement has increased tremendously as well. This study was conducted to examine the effect of brand love, brand image and brand personality on brand engagement with ethnocentrism as a moderating factor by using case study of local fashion brand in Indonesia. Respondents in this study were people who have purchased clothing items from a specific brand of local fashion. Data processing method used is Structural Equation Model (SEM). This study indicates that the excitement does not have a positive influence towards brand love, and brand image does not have a positive effect on word-of-mouth (WOM). Nonetheless, with the existence of ethnocentrism as moderating factor, excitement’s effect towards brand love and brand image were even greater. Hereafter, brand advocacy was finally formed by brand love’s positive effect towards WOM. This study demonstrated the importance of ethnocentrism in enhancing word of mouth, and father brand advocacy.

Abstract

This research examines the impact of sensory marketing cues and brand experience on emotional attachment, customer commitment, and brand loyalty in the luxury wristwatch industry. The study, conducted with 323 Indonesian consumers who purchased luxury wristwatches, reveals significant associations among sensory marketing cues, brand experience, emotional attachment, customer commitment, and brand loyalty. However, the effect of store image was found to be insignificant in moderating the connections between sensory marketing cues, brand experience, and emotional attachment. These findings highlight the importance of sensory marketing cues and brand experience in fostering emotional attachment and customer commitment, ultimately leading to brand loyalty. The results provide valuable insights for luxury wristwatch manufacturers and distributors in Indonesia to enhance customer loyalty through effective marketing strategies and optimized retail experiences. However, caution must be exercised in generalizing these implications to other countries or industries. Additionally, this study contributes to the literature on brand loyalty, particularly in the luxury wristwatch industry, by addressing the challenges posed by emerging substitutes such as advanced smartwatches and offering guidance on maintaining brand loyalty amidst increasing competition.

Abstract

Understanding how information influences consumer behavior during a public health crisis is crucial for both businesses and policymakers in managing risk communication and sustaining economic activity. Since the announcement of the first case of COVID-19 in early March 2020, the timeline across both mass and social media has been dominated by information about the virus. This information has increased public awareness of the risk of contracting COVID-19 when engaging in activities outside the home, including shopping. As a result, most shopping activities have shifted online. However, online shopping does not entirely eliminate the risk of virus transmission. This study aims to investigate the impact of COVID-19 information in mass and social media on trust in online retailers and online shopping behavior, with risk perception as a mediating variable. A survey was conducted with 1,212 respondents across Indonesia, and the data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results indicate that COVID-19-related information directly influences consumers’ online purchasing behavior, while trust in online retailers affects behavior indirectly through the mediation of risk perception.
