The purpose of this paper is to study the relationship between the (i) country image of Peru, (ii) cotton’s product image, (iii) familiarity with Peru, and (iv) cotton’s product familiarity with the purchase intention of Peruvian cotton. Survey techniques were used to collect the primary data, applying a closed question questionnaire in two samples that represent the consumers of two countries with different levels of familiarity with Peru: France and the United States. This study has found that there is a positive association between the studied variables, in at least one sample. One of the main managerial implications is that Peruvian cotton exporters could innovate their global marketing strategies using Peru’s country image to improve the positioning of Peruvian cotton in international markets.

Although it is well accepted that country image plays a major role in product evaluation and purchase intention in the literature, there is insufficient evidence regarding the effects of country image dimensionality on purchase intentions by product category (handbags and cell phones) and country (the United States, Korea, Italy, and Malaysia). The current research investigates the mediating effects of micro country image on the relationship between macro country image and consumers’ purchase intentions. Moreover, it highlights how this mediated relationship differs by product category and country. Based on research findings for symbolic products (i.e., handbags), both macro and micro country image should be managed and communicated to consumers. However, for functional products (i.e., cell phones), only micro country image needs to be actively communicated to consumers because it has a direct influence on purchase intentions. Additionally, micro country image was found to play a full mediating role between macro country image and purchase intentions in case of cell phones. This article concludes with a discussion of theoretical and managerial implications and further research.

Although brand sustainability is found essential for brand survival, establishing it has remained challenging. Brand sustainability requires a strong association between brand equity and consumer values. The current study attempts to discover critical components involved that may influence Indonesian and Taiwanese consumers to purchase smartphones such as Apple and High-Tech Computer Corporation (HTC). Primary data collection was conducted to gather data through an online field survey. Following a quantitative approach, structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to examine the link between research constructs and the proposed hypotheses based on two samples of 202 and 217 respondents in Taiwan and Indonesia, respectively. Results represent significant and non-significant direct influences underlining the significance of perceived quality and brand preferences when testing brand equity effects on how consumers value different brands. While price premium is found to be the most influential factor that shapes the formation of purchase intention for Apple brands among both Taiwanese and Indonesian consumers, perceived quality is also affecting Taiwanese brand preference for HTC. Furthermore, prestige value is revealed to be a predictor of brand preference among Indonesian HTC consumers. Research findings have important implications for decision-makers to motivate purchase intentions of smartphone users toward specific brands. The insights provided by the findings will assist marketers in developing brand strategies that influence Taiwanese and Indonesian consumers’ purchases of Apple or HTC products.
