How do consumers make online brand decision?

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

In this study, we firstly define brand decision as two kinds, one brand choice and multi-brands choice. By using multiple linear regression model and multinomial logit model separately, we construct links between brand identity, brand communication, electronic word of mouth and brand choice (one-brand and multi-brands). We find brand identity, brand communication and eWOM are positively associated with consumers' one-brand choice decision. We also find brand identity and brand communication do have impacts on consumers' multi-brands choice decision. Brand identity plays a very important role in consumers' brand choice. However, surprising to us, eWOM is insignificantly linked with multi-brands choice.
