Is a High Refund Strategy Always Effective?
Is a High Refund Strategy Always Effective? Shueh-Chin Ting, Professor, Department of Education, National University of Tainan, Taiwan ABSTRACT Retailers often use a refund strategy to guarantee that their products are the lowest price. However, does a high refund strategy announced by retailers definitively help consumers to believe that their products have the lowest price? Hierarchical moderator regression analysis was used to examine the moderating effect of a retailer’s reputation on the relationship between refund size and the believability of the lowest price. The results indicate that refund size has no direct effect on the believability of the lowest price and the effect is moderated by a retailer’s reputation. For reputable retailers, refund size has a positive influence on the believability of the lowest price. For less reputable retailers, refund size has a negative influence on the believability of the lowest price. Prior studies neglected the importance of a retailer’s reputation in implementing refund strategies. This study has resolved this research gap. Keywords: believability of the lowest price, guarantee strategy, refund size, retailer’s reputation. INTRODUCTION Retailers often use low-price guarantees (LPGs) as a signal to attract consumers and increase sales. Consumers interpret LPGs as signals that a particular retailer is committed to low prices (Borges, and Babin, 2012). Price-matching guarantees (PMGs) are commonly used by retailers as promises to match the lowest price for an item that a customer can find elsewhere (Yuan and Krishna, 2011). Signaling theory has been used to understand the overall effect of a PMG on consumer perceptions (Borges, 2009). -
