One of the strategies that are used by companies to differentiate their cosmetic products is celebrity endorsement. Despite this popular advertising technique, researchers and advertisers have not agreed as to which celebrity source characteristics are most effective in influencing consumers' purchase intention. Another important factor that affects consumers' purchase intention is the consumer ethnocentrism level. Consumers in different countries have different preference over local and international products. Thus, the objective of this chapter is to examine the source credibility theory with the moderating role of ethnocentrism. The result suggests that celebrity endorsers' trustworthiness (TR), attractiveness (AT), and expertise (EX) had a significant positive influence on cosmetic product purchase intention (CPPI). The moderating role of ethnocentrism between AT, TR, and CPPI were examined and found to be significant. This indicates that AT and TR are stronger when consumers' ethnocentrism is high.

PurposeIn this research, the authors aim to investigate the impact of product display quantity on consumers' online purchase intention through the diminished pain of payment, in light of signaling theory and mental accounting theory. Additionally, the authors test the role of price in this psychological mechanism.Design/methodology/approachThe authors use a combination of online studies and field experiments to test our predictions. Four online studies are conducted to test the main effect of product display quantity on purchase intention (Studies 1A and 1B), the mediating effect of the diminished pain of payment (Study 2), and the moderating role of price (Study 3). Two field experiments are conducted to strengthen the robustness of our findings.FindingsThe findings suggest that product display quantity has a significantly positive impact on purchase intention, mediated by the diminished pain of payment, and this effect is moderated by price.Originality/valueThis is the first study to investigate the effect of product display quantity on online purchase intention. This research advances the discussion of product display quantity, which provides retailers and consumers with a convenient way to communicate with each other and leads to a more relaxed purchase experience.

<p>Smartphones have become ubiquitous in consumers’ lives and have been identified as an important online channel. However, consumers have indicated a preference for purchasing products through their fixed devices, such as computers, and few studies have investigated situations where consumers might indicate greater purchase intentions on their mobile devices. This research examines the influence of scarcity messages and popularity cues on purchase intention in the context of online shopping. Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the differences between consumers using mobile and fixed devices.  Study one was a 3 (scarcity: limited quantity vs limited time vs no scarcity) x 2 (device: fixed vs smartphone) between-subjects design (N = 236). Study one found that in an online shopping context, limited-quantity scarcity messages (e.g. limited stock available) had a negative effect on purchase intention regardless of the consumer’s device. Furthermore, a consumer’s scepticism of advertising moderated the relationship. Perceived risk of online shopping was found to moderate the relationship between device and purchase intention.  Study two was a 2 (scarcity: limited quantity vs no scarcity) x 2 (popularity: ranking vs no ranking) x 2 (device: fixed vs smartphone) between-subjects design (N = 244). The study showed that a popularity cue had a positive effect on purchase intention. However, scarcity had no effect on purchase intention. Consumers in the smartphone conditions also had lower purchase intentions but this was not impacted by the inclusion of a scarcity message or popularity cue. Interestingly, credibility of the content did not moderate the relationships between scarcity and purchase intention, or popularity ranking and purchase intention.  These findings suggest that online scarcity messages do not increase purchase intention, in contrast to previous offline studies. The moderating role of scepticism on the scarcity message and purchase intention relationship indicates that consumers are suspicious of scarcity messages in an online context. However, it appears popularity cues enhance consumer purchase intentions online. Neither a scarcity message or a popularity cue increased purchase intention on a smartphone. The research demonstrates that scarcity messages are not as effective online as they have been shown to be in an offline context and that further research is required to understand how to increase consumer purchase intentions when shopping on a smartphone.</p>

Effective visual product presentation gives consumers a sense of appropriateness and supplementary perceptible experience to lessen the degree of apparent risk, compensate the absence of sensory attributes, and offer delightful online shopping experiences. The purchase of lifestyle products has become a matter of happiness to consumers that is convincingly regulated by the mood. Mood—a direct indicator of the subjective wellbeing—plays a prominent role in consumers' purchase behavior. This chapter attempts to examine the impact of product presentation on purchase intention of lifestyle products and moderating role of mood by obtaining data from 356 Indian online shoppers. Results revealed that mood moderates the impact of product presentation on purchase intention in online shopping context. The study recommends that marketers must offer pleasant and lively virtual product experiences for creating favorable shopping atmospherics and encouraging consumers' purchase intention.

Indonesia has become one of the destination countries to market their products and services, and there are various products that are quite widely available in the Indonesian market. The country of origin (COO) model in this research is a new developed model that aims to analyze the moderating role of Ethnocentrism in the effect of the COO and brand preference (BP) on purchase intention toward the Indonesian and Chinese Batik. To address this research purpose, 414 respondents took part in the survey, and the data obtained were analyzed by Structural Equation Model (SEM) with Lisrel 8.80 application. The result of this study shows that Ethnocentrism plays a role as the moderating variable in the effect of COO on purchase intention. However, whenever the effect of the brand preference on purchase intention exists, there is no moderating role of Ethnocentrism. Consumer Ethnocentrism shows that the Chinese batik is purchased in the case if the Indonesian batik is unavailable. It implies that consumer preference to the Chinese Batik exists, because it has a superior quality, a unique or authentic design, and more experience, as the impact of Global Business aspect. The study concluded that the company management must apply global Brand Repositioning Strategy in terms of the superior quality and unique design in fulfilling the global consumers’ needs.

<p>Interactivity is identified as a key component in the new media; however, the complex relationship between interactivity and advertising effectiveness measures has yielded inconclusive results. The purpose of this study is to perform a systematic investigation of the underlying mechanisms between the actual interactivity and the advertising effectiveness measures.</p><p>This paper proposes a model that empirically examines the role of the perceived interactivity in mediating the impact of actual interactivity on advertising effects; moreover, it studies the moderating role of individual differences on perceived interactivity. The empirical evidence indicates that perceived interactivity mediates the relationship between actual interactivity and purchase intention, the attitude towards the brand, and the attitude towards the website; additionally, it reveals that age plays a significant moderating role between actual and perceived interactivity. Thus, the mediated moderation model is supported. Furthermore, this paper tackles the implications of the interactivity theory building in the practice of marketing communications and interactive advertising.</p>

The current study was designed to observe the impact of consumer ethnocentrism and brand personality on purchase intention, perceived quality and brand trust in the Pakistani clothing market. Famous Pakistani clothing brands were selected to examine the impact of consumer ethnocentrism and brand personality on purchase intention, evaluation of the product and brand trust. 300 questionnaires were distributed to consumers. The response rate was 90%. The sample comprised 52.2% males and 47.8% females. Two-level Structural Equation Modelling using LISREL 8.80 was employed to determine the convergent and discriminant validity. The study has concluded that Pakistani consumers are highly ethnocentric and ethnocentrism strongly affects purchase intention of domestic brands among Pakistani customers. The research found that brand image has a greater effect on purchase intention, perceived quality and brand trust than consumer ethnocentrism. Results also demonstrate that quality, as perceived by consumers, influences purchase intention which indicates that alone, brand personality and consumer ethnocentrism tendencies do not guarantee sales of local brands. This study puts both consumer ethnocentrism and brand personality into one model to access its role on consumer behavior. The results of the research can assist domestic marketers to comprehend the role of consumer ethnocentrism propensity and brand personality in purchasing domestic products, quality perception and building trust among young customers. To the best of the researchers’ knowledge, it is one of the pioneer studies in the context of Pakistan that casts light on the significance of ethnocentrism in evaluating domestic products by contributing to the literature of marketing.
