Abstract
ABSTRACT A qualitative study explores the motivations that underlie quilters’ passion for their hobby and their strategic ramifications for bolstering faltering retailers. The researchers joined “passport”-carrying quilters and conducted interviews at several stores participating in a “Shop Hop” in Southeastern United States. Responses revealed the interviewees were driven by affective, altruistic, cognitive, creative, esteem, historical, health, social, and utilitarian motivations. Marketing strategies appealing to the identified motivations are proposed to aid retailers challenged by current market conditions.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Marketing Theory & Practice is devoted to the publication of peer-reviewed articles addressing substantive, managerial issues in marketing. In the context of developing, enhancing, and disseminating marketing knowledge, JMTP publishes both conceptual and empirical work, so long as the work provides strong implications for the managerial practice of marketing. Unlike other marketing journals that may be more focused on specific methodological approaches, deal with theoretical issues without regard to application, or represent various subfields of marketing, JMTP is positioned as a general marketing journal affording a quality outlet for more managerially-oriented research across the scope of the field.
