Study Notes

Consumer-Brand Engagement (CBE)

CBE is fostered by strong emotional bonds between the customer and a brand, leading to customers treating the brand as their own and devoting their hearts and minds to it.
Brand love motivates consumers to approach the brand more frequently, generating consumer-brand interdependence, trust, and commitment.

Relationship Quality and CBE

Relationship quality plays a crucial role in fostering CBE, and CBE is less likely to arise without strong emotional bonds between the customer and a brand.
Satisfaction is an antecedent of various CBE-related outcomes, such as brand loyalty, word-of-mouth (WOM), and referral.

Luxury Hotel Brand Coolness (LBC) and CBE

LBC is a socially constructed concept, implying that consumers' consumption of the brand will improve their social membership (e.g., exclusive, upper-class, glamorous, and sophisticated).
LBC positively influences brand love, and building a satisfied and emotional relationship with consumers promotes their engagement with brands, leading to direct and indirect values.

Brand Satisfaction, Love, and CBE

Satisfaction is one of the pillars forming the relationship quality between consumers and a brand in the hospitality services domain.
Brand love fosters brand trust and commitment, the remaining pillars of relationship quality.
CBE can be considered a result of the evolution of the customer-brand relationship, emphasizing the quality association between the customer and the brand.

Luxury hotel brand performance is evaluated based on the customer's evaluation of their experience, including functional, experiential, and symbolic values.
