Although tourism research often involves the phenomenon of ‘willingness to pay premium prices’, it has under-researched the relevant propensity with respect to brand identification in the hospitality sector as a component of tourism activity overall. This study examines the perceptions of 328 holidaymakers leaving Athens, Greece. The findings unveiled relationships between multiple elements of brand identity, such as brand image, price and quality, need for belonging, need for uniqueness and the conformity to consumption trend. Moreover, they suggest that the stronger the brand identification, the less likely holiday makers are to pay premium prices. In addition to its theoretical and managerial contribution, the research presents relevant implications and provides suggestions for further study.

This paper explores online and social media users’ contributions to place identity creation, challenging the role and importance of various actors in the place brand identity and place brand image formation process. Findings arise from a content analysis of 149 separate photographs of a unique event that takes place on the Greek island of Corfu as part of the Orthodox Easter festival. Findings are also informed by autoethnographic reflexivity from the researcher’s own participation in and observation of the event, and 84 images from the researcher’s own photographic record of the event. Comparisons are drawn between social media users’ images and those communicated by the local Municipality through 7 relevant images reproduced in the official Easter on Corfu brochure. The images uploaded by social media users were not vastly different in terms of content from those of the local authority, and were also similar to those taken by the researcher. Perhaps it may be time for place branders to not only voluntarily give up their perceptions of control over at least part of the identity formation process and encourage contributions from wider stakeholders, but to no longer perceive them as mere consumers of the brand, but also as its co-creators. However, this will require another shift in academic understanding of place brand identity and place brand image, which may be difficult to achieve considering that there has only recently been reached a certain level of agreement within the extant literature about the various definitions of terms associated with these constructs.

12Because of the growing demands on businesses to distinguish themselves from competitors, corporate brand identity and image are considered to be fundamental in enhancing the visibility and credibility of a business. This study identifi ed the perceptions of South African businesses across various industries of corporate brand identity elements that govern corporate brand image formation. In doing so, a theoretical perspective was adopted that borrows from both marketing communication and corporate communication theories. Firstly, the corporate brand identity elements deemed signifi cant in corporate brand image formation were identified from earlier literature and research. Secondly, Q methodology was used to categorise the variety and span of subjective opinion on those corporate identity elements deemed significant for corporate brand image formation. Finally, the dominant perceptions of the factors that govern corporate brand image formation were isolated through Q factor analysis. Seven richly diverse factors were derived, reflecting the most salient perceptions on the topic, namely trustworthiness of the brand, creative marketing, effective management and administration, stability through business innovation, customer satisfaction, effective integrated communication and strategic positioning of the brand.

In many well developed economies the number of brands as well as their perceived homogeneity is increas­ing for more than two decades. As a result, more and more brands appear interchangeable to their cus­tomers. To cope with this challenge it is necessary to develop a unique brand identity and to assure that this is being consistently delivered at all brand touch points. The latter requires that everyone who acts as a brand representative behaves according to the brand identity. Common understanding of and commit­ment to the brand are necessary prerequisites. A first model for internal identity-based brand manage­ment intended to fulfil these prerequisites was recently developed at the chair for innovative brand man­agement. The model is explicitly targeted at employees. This paper draws attention to yet another group of stakeholders which influences the brand image sub­stantially: the brands distributors. Empirical research has shown that particularly those internal refer­ence groups1 that have intensive interaction with the customers are able to influence the brand image. The purpose of this article is to assess whether the internal brand management model developed for employ­ees applies to distributors and to extend the existing model for the distributor context if necessary.
