The red packet interaction and brand attitude in the brand communities on WeChat

Guowei Zhu et al.

Summary: This study investigates how interactions triggered by the emerging monetary incentive of red packets affect consumers' brand attitude in WeChat brand groups. It identifies two types of interactions, Exchange Red Packet Interaction (ERPI) and Communal Red Packet Interaction (CRPI), and finds that ERPIs induce greater normative community pressure, leading to a less favorable brand attitude compared to CRPIs. The study also shows that this impact is moderated by the time frame of brand communities, with a significant difference existing between ERPIs and CRPIs in long-term WeChat brand groups but attenuating in short-term ones.

Oppositional loyalty as a brand identity-driven outcome: a conceptual framework and empirical evidence

Junyun Liao et al.

Summary: This study proposes that oppositional loyalty towards rival brands is driven by brand identity, with factors such as self-brand similarity, brand prestige, and brand uniqueness leading to consumer-brand identification and subsequently facilitating oppositional loyalty. In addition, inter-consumer brand rivalry and brand community engagement are identified as situations that strengthen the relationship between consumer-brand identification and oppositional loyalty. The study emphasizes the importance of fostering consumer-brand identification to prevent consumers from switching to competing brands and highlights the role of brand identity in shaping consumer behaviors.
