Attracting and retaining customers is considered essential for success of any business entity operating all across the globe. Therefore, customer needs and demands need to be emphasized in order to earn a profitable market share. The present study has focused on the independent role of customerization and customer engagement with the mediating effect of brand performance (brand awareness, brand image and brand satisfaction) on brand love. The study has been conducted in a cross-sectional and causal manner. Data was collected through convenience sampling technique from 230 respondents, out of which 183 questionnaires were fully attempted, with a response rate of 79. 5%. Responses were analyzed through frequency distribution, correlation, simple linear regression and structural equational modelling analysis. The findings of the study have indicated positively significant relationships of customerization and customer engagement with brand performance and brand love.

Purpose – The purpose of the present paper is to develop and validate a scale of romantic brand jealousy and to examine the role played by the brand love-jealousy framework on consumers' active engagement. Design/methodology/approach – In order to develop and validate the romantic brand jealousy scale the present study has employed Churchill's methodology. The study has used common factor analysis and structural equation modeling using LISREL 8.72. Findings – This research provides empirical evidence for a three-item romantic brand jealousy scale. The study results indicate that the romantic jealousy scale developed is valid and reliable. It also shows that in contrast to previous literature, wherein authors found that brand love would create customer engagement, the brand love-jealousy framework would act as a better mediator to create customer engagement and also to motivate the customer to purchase the brand. Research limitations/implications – This research was conducted in a specific country (India). It would be more robust if the scale developed by this study could be examined in the context of other countries. Practical implications – This study is expected to help managers to formulate a better marketing strategy to increase customer engagement using the proposed brand love-jealousy framework. Originality/value – This research adds value to the domain of consumer psychology research by proposing that brand jealousy needs to be created along with brand love in customer's mind to augment the level of active engagement.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to empirically test some of the consumer engagement frameworks that have been previously proposed in marketing literature. Design/methodology/approach Data were gathered via surveys distributed to members of a health club in the USA. Results were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Findings We found the effects of satisfaction on intercustomer support – the assistance received from other customers within a service setting – to be fully mediated by customer identification. The strength and direction of effects differed based on the type of identification. They also found an effect of satisfaction on customer patronage frequency. This effect was fully mediated by customer–employee identification. Practical implications The findings illustrate that, in most cases, intercustomer support can be built and enhanced by focusing on customer identification. Both customer–company and customer–customer identification had a positive effect on social/emotional and instrumental support; however, they did not influence a consumer’s patronage frequency. Conversely, customer–employee identification decreased perceptions of instrumental support, but increased perceptions of social/emotional support and patronage frequency. While the findings indicate that identification with a firm’s employees drives a customer’s patronage, firms must decide if the benefits received from increased patronage are worth the decreased instrumental support. Originality/value Past research has demonstrated the benefits of intercustomer support at both the firm and customer level, yet little research has investigated what enhances intercustomer social support in an organization. The research answers this question and illuminates some specific mechanisms that mediate this effect. Additionally, while previous research indicates that intercustomer support drives objective outcomes such as firm performance and loyalty intentions, we instead found these outcomes to be driven by customer–employee identification.
