  • consumer values motivation and purchase intention for Luxury Goods
    Journal of Retailing and Consumer Services, 2014
    Co-Authors: Sonny Nwankwo, Nicolas Hamelin, Meryem Khaled
    Abstract:

    There is considerable ambivalence in how different societies and cultures relate to the consumption of Luxury Goods. Thinly focused in the literature are Islamic societies (with rapidly emerging ‘super-rich’ consumer segments) where the concept of Luxury may be in tension with religious values. Set against this background, this paper investigates how consumer values and motivation influence purchase intentions towards Luxury Goods. Based on a sample of 400 respondents drawn from Morocco and applying logistic regression models, the paper finds correlations between the intention to buy Luxury Goods, motivation and personal values. Paradoxically, the influence of religion appears to diminish as consumer affordability of Luxury Goods increase. Partly due to globalization of markets and impacts on consumer values, Moslems are not fundamentally different from western consumers with regard to predispositions towards Luxury consumption. Potential impacts of religion on Luxury consumption attitudes and personal values appear to be moderated by the global consumer culture. The results also show an important gender underpinning especially when considered alongside perceived gender biases in consumption decision-making in many Islamic countries. Regarding the nature of purchase behavior women were found to be more positively disposed to impulse purchasing of Luxury Goods compared to men while more educated people, generally, indicated a greater tendency towards rational than impulse buying decisions.

  • intrinsic motivations self esteem and Luxury Goods consumption
    Journal of Retailing and Consumer Services, 2011
    Co-Authors: Yann Truong, Rod Mccoll
    Abstract:

    Despite the dramatic growth of the Luxury market over the past two decades, Luxury consumer research remains fragmentary and scant. To address this knowledge gap, this study investigates consumers' intrinsic motivations for purchasing Luxury Goods. Data were collected from 587 consumers and analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results show that consumers who are primarily intrinsically motivated tend to purchase Luxury products for superior quality and self-directed pleasure. The findings also demonstrate that self-esteem, an important concept in psychology and consumer behavior but rarely studied in Luxury research, relates strongly to self-directed pleasure.

  • determinants of purchasing intention for fashion Luxury Goods in the italian market
    Journal of Fashion Marketing and Management, 2011
    Co-Authors: Cesare Amatulli, Gianluigi Guido
    Abstract:

    Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the latent determinants of the purchasing intention for fashion Luxury Goods.Design/methodology/approach – A total of 40 in‐depth interviews were conducted with Italian customers in a fashion Luxury Goods store in Italy. Qualitative research was employed in data collection using the laddering technique and the means‐end chain (MEC) analysis.Findings – Results showed that consumers buy Luxury fashion Goods mainly to match their lifestyle, thus satisfying their inner drives. The hierarchical value map resulting from the data collection and elaboration demonstrates that self‐confidence and self‐fulfillment are the main hidden final values when buying and consuming Luxury Goods. Implications for marketers are related to tailoring products, brand values and communication messages to the subjective, self‐rewarding and “internalized” consumption sought after by consumers.Originality/value – The contribution of the paper is based on the use of the laddering te...
