Abstract

To drive differentiation and create competitive advantage, most brands strive to deliver extraordinary brand experiences. One means of doing so is operating flagship stores, in which an augmented brand display allows consumers to experience the brand more strongly. The results of an experiment that simulates a brand store versus flagship store visit and manipulates motivational orientation indicate that the retail experience updates the brand experience. In flagship stores, this process is facilitated by recreational (vs. task-oriented) motivation, while the opposite occurs in (nonexperiential) brand stores. Through improved brand experience, a positive retail experience generates purchases of both standard and exclusive store products. A field study confirms this effect, identifies brand salience as a moderator, and shows that positive retail and brand experiences generate cross-channel purchase intention and brand buzz.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
