  • Celebrity Fans in China: Motives, Characteristics, and Marketing Impacts
    104 Chapter 6 Celebrity Fans in China: Motives, Characteristics, and Marketing Impacts Xinming Jia Zhejiang International Studies University, China Kineta Hung Hong Kong Baptist University, China Ke Zhang Soochow University, China ABSTRACT This chapter examines the motives, characteristics, and marketing impacts of celebrity fans in China, and illustrates these points using the fans of Wallace Chung. Based on a grounded theoretical approach, the analysis reveals five fan segments with different motives and marketing impacts: casual fans (play- ful, limited marketing impacts); fascinated fans (aspirational, fervent purchasers); devoted fans (sense of belonging, voluntary marketer-promoters and fervent purchasers); dysfunctional fans (identification with celebrity, rally pro); and reflective fans (solid self-identity, celebrity image-shapers). The analysis shows that in addition to buying celebrity-related products, fans undertake essential marketing activities (celebrity image-shapers, voluntary marketer-promoter) that in the past were the domains of agency management and marketers of endorsed products. These changes elevate fans to become marketing partners. Implications are discussed. INTRODUCTION A celebrity is a human brand (Thomson, 2006) who, in the age of social media, has a robust network of fans that comprise the major group of purchasers, consumers, and ardent promoters of the celebrity. Celebrity fans are now connected by social media to form a virtual community across regions. On the one hand, they exert influence on popular culture (i.e. celebrity fan culture), the economy (i.e. fan economy), DOI: 10.4018/978-1-7998-1048-3.ch006 Copyright © 2020, IGI Global.
