Download or read book Country of Origin Impact on Consumer Perception of Value in Fast Fashion written by Katherine Walter and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With fast fashion growing rapidly, insight onto consumers perception of the value for the country of origin in this sector of the retail industry is a topic that needs to be delved into deeper. While there are studies over the impact of country of origin and fast fashion separately, the correlation between these two dimensions has yet to be reviewed. The purpose of this study is to identify consumers perception of the overall value of fast fashion merchandise based on country of origin. Through a questionnaire, participants were asked open and closed-ended questions about specific factors of value based on country of origin in apparel products. These factors included perceived innovativeness, willingness to buy, perceived price, country familiarity, and quality. Through Amazon Mechanical Turk, participants were recruited to take this virtual survey. Because of the popularity of fast fashion with Millennial's and their growing purchasing power, the outcomes of this study are tailored to this generation. The implications of this study can be used throughout the retail and fashion industries. When decisions of outsourcing or in-sourcing products are being made, understanding how the country of origin impacts their perception of value will provide critical information companies and brands in all retail sectors can use.
Download or read book Country of Origin Effect written by Isaac Cheah and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-06-29 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book evaluates Country of Origin (COO) research from new critical perspectives, providing insights on how COO shapes both consumer behaviour and business trends, and how marketers can overcome or take advantage of COO in their strategies. The contributors explore a variety of strategies for utilising Country of Origin, including how country image can influence market entry positioning strategies, and how brand heritage can be utilised as a communication tool. There is also a study of what percentage of online products require COO identification, and whether this percentage correlates to customer satisfaction. Several contributors look at consumers’ preference for food in relation to COO and authenticity, and further chapters explore the impact of consumer identification with a nation on how they evaluate brands. As Country of Origin is increasingly evaluated by consumers and used by marketers to safeguard locally-owned products, this book will be of interest to those studying the relationship between country-authentic brands and their promotion in the global marketplace. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Promotion Management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Various phenomena in the global economy, such as intensifying firm internationalization and international sourcing resulting in a growing number of hybrid products, raise the question of whether the country-of-origin (COO) and the country-of-origin effect (COE) still matter in contemporary international business. This book points out various aspects of COO, its dimensions and COE that remain significant challenges for consumers, companies and brands not only from emerging and developing countries but also from developed ones. This edited book offers a multifaceted approach to COO and COE. It explores COO communication/neutralization, economic and legal issues, as well as semiotic and anthropological aspects of COO communication in advertising. The book also discusses the impact of COO on consumer behaviour, including in the luxury goods market, and the role of consumer ethnocentrism. It takes a novel, interdisciplinary approach to the field, covering various aspects of the COO, its implications for international business, further theoretical developments within this phenomenon and empirical evidence delivered by scholars representing different fields of science. This book is addressed predominantly to the academic community – academics, scholars and upper-level students – in international marketing, international business and consumer behaviour.

This book was released on 2023-08-01 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, many fashion brands use social media marketing strategies to increase awareness about their brand and influence consumers’ decision-making patterns.

Social Media and Online Consumer Decision Making in the Fashion Industry provides critical research on effective methods, techniques, and tools for evaluating the impacts of social media on the consumer decision-making process. The book explores the pertinence of web-based social media tools and how the fashion business sector can benefit from social media innovation approaches in digital environments. Covering topics such as mobile apps, consumer decision-making processes, and communication technologies, this book is ideal for students, brand executives, marketing professionals, researchers interested in social media technology, and more.

This book was released on 2015-04-21 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The country-of-origin (COO) concept refers to the country where a particular product is made and is anchored on the international marketing theory. The broad objective of this pioneering study was to determine the effect of COO, consumer characteristics and attitudes on consumer behaviour towards foreign clothing brands in Nairobi, Kenya. The results established that country-of-origin influences consumer behaviour towards foreign clothing brands and that there was a significant association among the two. The findings also revealed that consumer characteristics directly influence consumer behaviour and also moderate the relationship between COO and consumer behaviour. There was a significant relationship between consumer characteristics and consumer behaviour. Furthermore, the results showed that consumer attitudes strongly mediate the relationship between country-of-origin and consumer behaviour, and there was a significant association among the two. Finally, the joint effect of COO, consumer characteristics and consumer attitudes was greater than the individual effects of the independent, mediating and moderating variables on consumer behaviour towards foreign clothing brands.

Download or read book The Effect of Country of Design Parts and Manufacturing Labels on Apparel Quality Price and Purchase Intention written by Whitney Greene and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the effect of country of origin labels on consumers' perceptions of apparel quality, price and purchase intention. This study particularly focused on country of design, parts, and manufacturing labels as potential cues that consumers use when evaluating the quality, price and purchase intention of apparel products. In this study, two countries were used: the United States and China. A literature review was provided to show the link and evolution of country of origin literature and the increase of multinational products in today's marketplace. The Information Processing theory provided the theoretical framework for understanding why consumers use extrinsic cues such as country of origin information when forming their opinions and purchasing products. The results of this study concluded that consumers rated US components that were designed and manufactured also in the U.S. the highest in quality, while Chinese components that were manufactured and designed in China were rated the lowest in quality. Results also indicated that consumers have some confusion when attempting to place a difference between the products made in the U.S with Chinese materials and the products made in China with U.S. materials. This study showed that the extent of country of origin information on product labels does play a large role when consumers' are making inferences about the quality, price and purchase intention of an apparel item.

This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The approach of the chapters that comprise this volume is academically rigorous and at the same time managerially relevant, which is why I believe the book helps to push the made-in research agenda forward at the same time as it provides practitioners with new ideas they can apply to their brands.' – Nicolas Papadopoulos, Carleton University, Canada The country of origin of goods and services can have positive or negative effect on customers' intentions to purchase. This book analyzes the impact of this effect on the international development of Italian companies in emerging markets. The chapters refer to a wide range of issues, including made-in effects in relation to ethnocentrism and to corporate social responsibility in small and medium-sized enterprises; the interactions and synergistic effects between product-related made-in images and the images of places as tourism destinations; distribution channel issues; 'made-in topics' in relation to emerging markets; and a review of the relevant literature on country of origin effects. The contributors propose strategies and tools that companies might leverage to develop their international marketing and suggest policies that might strengthen these efforts. This original work will prove to be a valuable resource for students and researchers of international marketing and strategy as well as policy makers.
