  • THE IMPACT of BRAND IMAGE on CONSUMER PRE-PURCHASE DECISION- MAKING PROCESS a Qualitative Study on Sustainable Fashion Consumers
    THE IMPACT OF BRAND IMAGE ON CONSUMER PRE-PURCHASE DECISION- MAKING PROCESS A Qualitative Study on Sustainable Fashion Consumers Mariam Aptsiauri & Veera Könni Department of Business Administration International Business Program Degree Project, 30 Credits, Spring 2021 Supervisor: Galina Biedenbach ABSTRACT The fashion industry’s massive ecological footprint and the throwaway culture of fast fashion have contributed to a growing global interest in sustainability and ethics in fashion consumption. Consumers have become more conscious of the environmental and social impacts of the fashion industry. Hence, marketers in the fashion industry have realised that creating a favourable brand image establishes positive consumer perceptions. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the impact of brand image on consumers' sustainable fashion consumption. Furthermore, the thesis aims to provide a deeper understanding of the consumer pre-purchase decision-making process concerning sustainable fashion. Researchers have agreed that understanding consumer pre-purchase considerations helps explain consumer decision-making since they highly influence purchasing decisions. A research gap could be identified since there is no study examining the three concepts combined; brand image, consumer pre-purchase decision-making process, and sustainable fashion. Moreover, there is a need for academic research that updates knowledge on sustainable fashion consumers. From prior research, it was recognisable that more in-depth research on different brand image dimensions is needed to understand the underlying factors affecting sustainable fashion consumption. This thesis focuses on the impact of brand image by examining the eight brand associations containing the brand's meaning for the consumers hence examining the impact of these brand associations on each pre-purchase stage.

  • Ethical Consumerism in the Cosmetics Industry: Measuring How Important Sustainability Is to the Female Consumer
    Ethical Consumerism in The Cosmetics Industry: Measuring how Important Sustainability is to The Female Consumer. Using Conjoint Analysis to Measure the Utility Given to Sustainability Attributes of Cosmetic Packaging as a Function of Consumer’s Sustainability Engagement Level Bachelor Thesis 2020 University of Twente Petra Caruana Bachelor Thesis, Communication Science University of Twente, The Netherlands Department: Behavioural, Management & Social Sciences Supervisor: Thomas Van Rompay / [email protected] Email Author: [email protected] Student Number: s1930281 Date: 26 June 2020 2 Abstract Previous research on the relationship between consumer sustainability consciousness and purchasing choices in favour of sustainably packaged makeup products is mixed. This study uses online Conjoint Analysis and an environmental sustainability consciousness questionnaire to measure the extent that environmental sustainability consciousness predicts the relative importance female consumers attribute to sustainably packaged eyeshadow palettes. A fake eyeshadow product, Aurora Gold, is used to simulate a market study without alerting the participants to the true intention of measuring sustainability consciousness. The results confirm that women’s environmental sustainability consciousness does predict the utility women derive from sustainable makeup packaging and therefore women’s purchasing choice. However, this relationship is limited in that the environmental sustainability consciousness factor only explains 7.2% of the relative importance given to sustainable packaging. Further analysis on the research data shows that as the frequency of makeup use increases, the importance given to sustainable packaging in relation to the other product attributes decreases. Moreover, a high proportion of favourite makeup brands indicated do not offer sustainably packaged eyeshadow palette alternatives and post-survey interviews highlight a sense of consumer helplessness in increasing sustainable product consumption.

In addition, we evaluate how those practices affect consumers’ perceived satisfaction levels and their predisposition to engage in positive Word of Mouth (WOM). For the purpose of this study, the context of an emerging economy, Peru, is taken as reference. To do this, we propose a structural equation model based on a representative sample of 403 consumers. The data analysis—using the PLS software package—confirms that corporate social responsibility (CSR) positively influences both corporate reputation and brand image. These two factors jointly have an impact on consumers’ perceived satisfaction levels, which in turn help to explain the flow of positive WOM. This work is a pioneering study of the relationship between the aforementioned factors in the context of emerging economies. The final part of the article discusses the main theoretical implications and recommendations for business practice. Keywords: retail; sustainability; CSR; reputation; brand image; WOM; emerging economy This graphical abstract shows the proposed causal model as a chain of effects from the customers’ perception of CSR to the perceived satisfaction and WOM in the retailing sector.
