The Relationship

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the signaling effects of high versus low price discounts by integrating extant literature on price discounts, perceived risks and purchase intentions for products sold online. The study examines the influence of price discounts on perceived risks, and the subsequent influence of these risk perceptions on online purchase intentions. Design/methodology/approach – This study used an experimental design. The manipulated factor was price discount (10, 30, 50, 70 and 90 per cent). Responses were collected via online surveys. Nonlinear regression analysis with the MEDCURVE macro was used for the analysis. Findings – The results show that the discount size increases customers’ perceived risks, and that these perceived risks mediate the relationship between price discount and purchase intentions. Practical implications – This study provides a better understanding of customers’ risk perceptions for online price discounts, which enables retailers to decide appropriate price discounts to attract customers. Originality/value – Most previous literature focusing on price discounts takes into consideration the presentation effect on consumers’ positive perceptions, while this study investigates the price discount effect on customers’ negative perceptions. In particular, this study examines the mediating effect of perceived risks on the relationship between price discount and purchase intention, which has not been investigated in previous studies.

The findings indicate that there is a strong influence of celebrity endorsements on university students. The celebrity endorser who possesses attributes such as likability, attractiveness, credibility, and personality has a positive influence on consumer’s purchase intentions. Moreover, celebrity endorsements create a positive impact on consumers attitudes towards endorsed brands and products which stimulate the purchase intention. This research provides some useful theoretical and practical implications for researchers and marketers on the use of celebrity endorsers.
