B2C, C2B, and C2C Communications: Does It Pay for Brands to Participate in Social
Media Marketing?
Abstract
Social media platforms have fundamentally changed how brands interact with consumers (B2C), how consumers interact with brands (C2B), and how consumers interact with one another to obtain information about brands (C2C). Although brands have long recognized the importance of communicating with and listening to consumers, they struggle to successfully manage such complex B2C, C2B, and C2C relationships in the consumer-empowered social media environment. We distinguish two B2C social media activities — posts and replies — and unpack their direct effects on brand sales as well as indirect effects through C2B and C2C user generated content (UGC). Empirically, we assemble a unique, large-scale data set comprised of a half million UGC observations from Facebook together with data from the U.S. automotive industry, to study the presence, magnitude, and carryover of such direct and indirect effects of brand posts and replies on sales. With regard to the indirect effects, the results reveal that brand posts can stimulate both C2B and C2C UGC, while brand replies increase C2B UGC but decrease C2C UGC. Moreover, both types of UGC positively influence sales, although C2C UGC elasticity is larger than C2B UGC elasticity. Furthermore, the analysis finds evidence for direct effects of posts and replies on sales, although reply elasticity is larger than post elasticity and lasts longer. Consequently, by building a comprehensive framework of B2C, C2B, and C2C communications, this research offers important insights for theoretical and managerial implications in social media marketing.
Shopping in Virtual Fitting Room: Who Buys What and Why
Abstract
Applying the emerging virtual reality technology, virtual fitting room (VFR) allows customers to virtually try on clothes with their avatars when shopping online. Despite its managerial importance and increasing popularity, VFR’s impact on product evaluations and purchases is hitherto under-researched. This research empirically investigates the causal effects of VFR on product outcomes from a contingency perspective. Based on a large-scale field experiment using real-word transactional data and three lab experiments, we document that the effect of VFR is not universally positive across all customer groups, unveil the underlying theoretical mechanism, and provide actionable solutions to the potential negative effect. Results indicate that the positive effect of VFR is mitigated as customers’ BMI (body mass index) increases. VFR reduces product evaluations and purchases among high-BMI / overweight customers, due to self-threat induced by avatars resembling their own body image. Interestingly, certain product features and situational factors can reverse such adverse effects. Specifically, high-BMI customers react positively to high-price or high-status products in the presence of VFR. Accenting individual uniqueness or practicing self-affirmation also help high-BMI customers cope with self-threat and thus alleviate negative product responses. These findings provide feasible guidance for retailers to optimally leverage VFR to enhance business performance.
The Effect of Social Jetlag on Conspicuous Consumption
Abstract
Consumers often engage in conspicuous consumption to signal their status in social life. In this research, we show that consumers’ social life may interact with their chronobiological system to influence conspicuous consumption. Specifically, social jetlag, which is induced by the discrepancy between one’s biological clock and demands of the social clock that determine most schedules (e.g., having to get up earlier than one’s natural wake-up time for work or study, having to stay up to work night shifts or meet a report deadline), is found to decrease consumers’ interest in conspicuous consumption. Social-jetlagged consumers become less interested in social interaction. Conspicuous consumption, which draws social attention that may lead to social interaction, is less desirable to social-jetlagged consumers for this reason. The effect is weakened when social interaction is perceived to be less aversive (e.g., interacting with familiar others rather than strangers), or when consumers believe that conspicuous consumption will not draw extra social attention that may lead to social interaction. This work both measures and manipulates social jetlag, illustrating the effect using consequential behavioral measures. Implications for the literatures on conspicuous consumption and social jetlag as well as for marketing practice are discussed.
More than meet the eyes: consumer perceptions of product category values
Abstract
Brands are perceived as having a personality including human values. For the first time, we propose and show that this phenomenon can go beyond familiar brands to more abstract judgments of product categories. Using two studies, we show that consumers naturally make inferences about the values of product categories that correspond to the circular structure of 10 human values. When no value-expressive information is provided, we show that consumers project their personal values onto product categories. This means that consumers imbue a product category with their own personal values, which they are likely to view favorably. When just one piece of value-expressive information is provided, we show that consumers use this information to infer the value priorities of a product category, not only for the communicated value, but also for neighboring and opposing values in the circle. We also found that product-category value congruity is related to more positive product evaluations and behavioral intentions. However, such effect differs between value groups. The current research offers theoretical contributions to the values-based product management literature.
