Experiential value and brand loyalty

Research on consumer technology has primarily focused on technology acceptance behaviour (Swilley, 2010), consumer innovativeness (Blythe, 1999) and other personal or product characteristics (Hirunyawipada, 2006). These studies have focused on the hedonic aspects of consuming technology and not much has been researched on the experiential aspects of it. The role of creating consumer value through experience is not limited to just companies like Disney World or Hard Rock Café, marketers of technology products are stressing on the value of the experience their products/brands is able to create for the customer. (Holbrook M. , 2009) “Experience our technology!” is the new mantra for technology products. …show more content…

Consumers appreciate product designs as much as they value functionality in technology products (Chitturi, 2008). (Holbrook M. &., 1982) studied experiential aspect of consumer behaviour like imagery, aesthetics and feelings arising from consumption. Currently companies recognise this and stress on making their products more aesthetically pleasing (Kaplan, 2009) and building an emotional connection with consumers, this can be done by making their technology products and brands a part of the consumers’ lifestyle. (Brown A. , 2010) (McCarthy, 2004) explained that a consumer’s experience with technology products is not restricted to only user-technology interaction but all aspects of the product and service perceived by the consumer. Such multi-dimensional values could be extrinsic or intrinsic in nature (Silvester, 2010). Based on (Holbrook M. , The nature of customer value: An axiology of services in the consumption experience. In R.T. Rust & R.L. Oliver (Eds.), Service Quality: New Directions in Theory and Practice, 1994) value framework (Mathwick, 2001) developed four dimensions of experiential value namely aesthetics, playfulness, service excellence, and customer ROI. On similar lines (Sweeney, 2001) developed four distinct value dimensions namely emotional, social, quality/performance, and …show more content…

These can be bucketed into the four higher-order dimensions mentioned before.
1. Customer return on investment (CROI): - this is an extrinsic value that stems from the use of a product. If a consumer thinks that the technology product provides them psychological, behavioural, or financial return, then they perceive CROI value.
2. Service excellence: - it is a reactive appreciation of a product’s ability to perform some functions. If a product delivers on its promise through its performance, service excellence value is perceived. This value is of great importance when consumers recognise excellence even without consuming the product based on prior experience
3. Playfulness: - When consumers actively consume a technology product for the joy of using it or for the sake of their pleasure this value is perceived.
4. Aesthetics: - it is an intrinsic and reactive value that is perceived when a consumer appreciates the products in terms of its

Joshua Shavel Consumer Nation 10/5/17 How Consumerism Changed America America is often described as a nation of consumers. This description usually has a negative tone, implying that Americans are materialistic, and in comparison to the majority of other countries, this is true. Many people accuse Americans of having a level of consumption that is actually wasteful in a lot of ways.

Consumption In Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World”, the concepts of consumerism and utopia are continuously compared and discussed in tandem with one another to decide if any correlation between them is present. Although people may argue that the humans belonging to the World State are happy, their lack of simple human pleasures such as love, religion, intellect, free will, etc, denies the people of actual joy. Since the government is what controls these pleasures by glorifying consumption, the World State’s culture and consumerism must interrelate. The government's control of common human experiences and characteristics such as love, pain, religion, and free will result in the total dependence on the state.

This sociological study will analyze the problem of commodity fetishism in American consumer culture. Karl Marx’s theory of commodity fetishism is a major problem in the United States due to the inability of consumers to see the intrinsic value of a commodity. American consumer culture tends to become trapped in the “magical qualities” of a product, which makes them unable to understand the object as it was made by a laborer. This abstraction of the commodity is part of Marx’s analysis of capitalist products that is separated from the labor and become valuable objects in and of themselves. This is an important sociological perspective on commodities, which creates an irrational consumer culture in the American marketplace.

This deals with a customers’ perception that a product or service they are buying provides them with a higher value than a competitor. Superior quality can be broken down into two kinds of attributes: quality as excellence and quality as reliability. A customers’ perspective of quality as excellence would be that they want a product or service that provides features and a level of service that has no comparison. With regard to quality as excellence, if customers perceive that the products design, features, and functions are better than everyone else, then they would be more likely to buy their product. Higher quality products allow for a higher sense of value provided to the customer.
