Abstract
ABSTRACT Although an increasing amount of research investigates the impact of mobile apps, their influence on brand equity is still underexplored. This research develops a comprehensive model to capture how utilitarian, hedonic, and social motivations enhance value-in-use and brand attachment, which in turn improve customers’ love of a brand and intention to purchase a brand. The work bridges the gap between goods- and service-dominant logic perspectives and provides deeper understanding of the multidisciplinary nature of branded apps. It also generates profound practical implications for brands to successfully plan and develop their apps which will enhance customer’s perceptions of brands.

Services Marketing Quarterly is directed at academicians and practitioners who are involved in the development and application of services marketing concepts to the wide spectrum of industries that constitute the service sector of economies.

Areas of emphasis include: Service characteristics changes. Servicescape impacts. Service delivery impacts. Services impact on organizational image. Digital service environments and impacts. Evolution of services over time and by industry. Contributions are encouraged which include analysis of existing practice, methods and programs; application of new ideas and methods; and research on various aspects of services marketing.
