The inbound marketing strategies employed by tourism companies have proven to be crucial in post-COVID-19 scenarios, facilitating their adaptability, visibility, and customer retention in adverse environments. The study aimed to determine the relationship between inbound marketing and customer loyalty in the tourism sector. It is a quantitative, correlational, and non-experimental study. The sample consisted of 380 tourists aged 18 and above who visited Trujillo, Peru, in the first quarter of 2022. Data collection utilized the survey technique with a questionnaire as the research instrument. Survey data were tabulated in MS Excel and analyzed using Jamovi 2.3.38, employing descriptive and inferential statistics. The correlation was assessed using the Spearman coefficient. The results highlighted that 40.8% of participants agreed that inbound marketing strategies implemented by Trujillo’s tourism sector were highly effective, while 60.0% expressed strong loyalty to these companies. Ultimately, a significance level below 0.05 was identified between the variables, indicating a significant relationship between them. Consequently, the study concluded the existence of a direct and moderate relationship between inbound marketing and customer loyalty in the investigated group.

This study aimed to investigate the impact of guerilla marketing (i.e., guerilla ambient marketing and guerilla sensation marketing) on customer behavior (i.e., customer purchase intention and customer brand attitude). The survey was held in May 2023; the questionnaire was distributed to a convenience sample of 450 customers of three malls in Jeddah city in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The analysis was conducted by IBM SPSS and AMOS using 344 retrieved responses. Exploring research factors, confirming goodness-of-fit, and testing the hypothesized effects, the results indicated that both dimensions of guerrilla marketing had significant effects on both dimensions of customer behavior. However, the effect of ambient marketing on customer purchase intention was greater than its effect on customer brand attitude. Conversely, the effect of sensation marketing on customer brand attitude was greater than its effect on customer purchase intention. The paper concludes that ambient marketing has more power to boost customer purchase intention in comparison with sensation marketing, which is suitable for elevating customer brand attitude. For that, enterprises are required to try nonconventional marketing practices such as guerilla marketing in order to change customer behaviors. Further studies should use other dimensions of guerilla marketing and target more customers from different locations.

Indonesia has low e-commerce transactions despite high internet usage. This study examines the e-repurchase intention on Lazada Indonesia, an e-marketplace with declining traffic and sales. This study uses the perceived usefulness of institutional-based mechanisms, the perceived usefulness of seller-based mechanisms, and the perceived usefulness of experience-based mechanisms to examine how trust in the e-market and e-seller affect repurchase intention. This quantitative study includes 231 Lazada Indonesia customers from the past three months (the survey was conducted in January 2023). The data were statistically analyzed with partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). 43.72% of the respondents shop one to three times a month, 42.42% – more than three times per month, and 13.85 – less than once per month. Trust in the e-marketplace increased when participants believed institutional-based processes were beneficial (with a beta value of 0.272 and a P value of 0.000) and seller-based mechanisms were valuable (with a beta value of 0.509 and a P value of 0.000). In terms of trust in the e-seller, only the perceived usefulness of seller-based mechanisms has a significant effect (with a beta value of 0.567 and a P value of 0.000), while the perceived usefulness of experience-based mechanisms has no effect. This study has also shown that e-seller trust significantly affects repurchase intention. Finally, with a beta value of -0.055 and a P value of 0.046, e-marketplace trust negatively moderates the relationship between e-seller trust and repurchase intention. Thus, e-marketplace trust can replace e-seller trust in customer repurchase intentions. AcknowledgmentThis study is conducted with the support of Universitas Multimedia Nusantara.

To justify the production of green products, it is necessary to anticipate the choice of consumers toward products with different environmental friendliness. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the factors that determine this choice, particularly value factors. The study is based on the idea that a consumer is stimulated to eco-consumption by a set of values, not excluding individualist values; and the influence of values is mediated by motives. The purpose of the study is to develop the theoretical foundations of constructing a three-level system of value factors of green consumption on the example of office paper consumption. As a result, the study formed a system of factors containing preferences, motives, and values of office paper consumers. According to the proposed approach, for each respondent, quantitative characteristics of the elements of the system of factors were determined through a survey, which made it possible to identify correlation relationships between the elements. A pilot study was used to test the proposed approach to constructing a value factors system. The results of the pilot survey showed a positive connection between eco-friendliness of consumer preferences – through motives – with such values as “Nature,” “Self-development,” “Country success,” and “Social power.” This finding provides additional justification for the assumption that individuals are driven to green consumption not only by socially oriented values but also by individualistic values. Identifying the value factors of green consumption will allow predicting consumer behavior and influencing it through targeted marketing offers.

Campus prostitution, quite different from traditional prostitution, is commonly known as “hook-up” and it is highly frowned upon as a major social vice in Nigeria. This study examined the potentials of Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp in influencing the attitudinal change of female students toward campus prostitution in Nigerian universities. The population comprises female students in select universities in Southeastern Nigeria. However, Cochran’s formula was used to determine the sample size. Snowball sampling was used in selecting every identified hook-up girl who subsequently contacted a co-prostitute via referral after being offered monetary incentive. A pilot survey was conducted, and the study obtained Cronbach’s Alpha value of 0.890. Furthermore, 384 structured questionnaires were distributed, and 325 were adequately returned. Hence, simple linear regression was used to analyze the data and the findings revealed that Facebook messages significantly and positively influence the attitudinal change of female students toward campus prostitution (r = 0.981; t = 157.402; F = 24775.501; p < 0.05). Similarly, Twitter messages significantly and positively influence the attitudinal change of female students toward campus prostitution (r = 0.977; t = 144.375; F = 20844.055; p < 0.05). Lastly, WhatsApp messages significantly and positively influence the attitudinal change of female students toward campus prostitution (r = 0.984; t = 174.458; F = 30435.505; p < 0.05). Thus, these tools are potentially effective and should be adopted by the university authorities to engender high moral standards.
校园卖淫不同于传统的卖淫,通常被称为 "勾搭",在尼日利亚,它作为一种主要的社会丑恶现象而备受诟病。本研究探讨了 Facebook、Twitter 和 WhatsApp 在影响尼日利亚大学女生对校园卖淫的态度转变方面的潜力。研究对象包括尼日利亚东南部部分大学的女生。然而,在确定样本量时使用了科克伦公式。采用 "滚雪球 "抽样法选取了每一个确定的嫖妓女孩,这些女孩在获得金钱奖励后,通过介绍与同性卖淫者联系。研究进行了试点调查,并获得了 0.890 的 Cronbach's Alpha 值。此外,共发放了 384 份结构化问卷,收回 325 份。因此,研究采用简单线性回归法对数据进行分析,结果表明,Facebook 信息对女学生对校园卖淫的态度转变有显著的正向影响(r = 0.981; t = 157.402; F = 24775.501; p <0.05)。同样,Twitter 消息也对女学生对校园卖淫的态度转变产生了明显的积极影响(r = 0.977; t = 144.375; F = 20844.055; p <0.05)。最后,WhatsApp 消息对女学生对校园卖淫的态度转变产生了明显的积极影响(r = 0.984; t = 174.458; F = 30435.505; p <0.05)。因此,这些工具可能是有效的,大学当局应采用这些工具来培养高尚的道德标准。

This study examines the role of influencer marketing for banks in Vietnam with the objective of reaching to the demographic of young customers between the ages of 18 and 35. A quantitative methodology was utilized in this study, which involved the distribution of an online survey to a total of 732 young banking consumers in Vietnam. The data were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results indicated significant positive indirect effects on the intention to use influencer marketing in relation to influencer credibility, trustworthiness, expertise, friendliness, similarity, and attractiveness. The impacts mentioned were mediated by the individual’s attitude toward the influencer. Favorable attitudes toward an influencer boosted respondents’ intention to use endorsed banking products/services. Similarly, positive attitudes toward influencers directly increased usage intentions. The results offer innovative empirical proof that partnering with influencers on social media can serve as a successful marketing tactic for banks to positively impact the acceptance of their services among young consumers in Vietnam’s digital landscape. The study provides practical recommendations for banks to effectively identify and collaborate with influencers who have the strongest appeal to youth target audiences. AcknowledgmentI would like to express my gratitude to those of you who took part in the survey and to the Ho Chi Minh University of Banking for their assistance in enabling me to finish my research.

This study aims to examine university students’ intention to purchase carbon-labeled products in Can Tho City, Vietnam, as well as the main reasons driving the desire to purchase carbon-labeled products. A survey was conducted using quantitative analytic methodologies, and 234 students’ responses were obtained using Google Forms during the third quarter of 2023. Before surveying student participants, ten educational experts crafted and reviewed a questionnaire. The questionnaire had three sections. Structural equation modeling (SEM) and SPSS are used to assess the data. This study analyzed independent variables such as sustainable consumption habits, the green halo effect, carbon label visibility, and climate consciousness to consider their impact on the dependent variable of purchase intention. To guarantee the dependability of these variables, Cronbach’s Alpha was employed with a threshold set at 0.60. The findings demonstrate Vietnamese students’ comparatively low level of understanding regarding carbon labeling. Only 45.7% of the 234 survey participants claimed to have heard of carbon labels, compared to 54.3% who said they had never heard of them. Furthermore, sustainable consumption habits and the green halo effect directly impact the intentions to purchase carbon-labeled products, in which sustainable consumer habits play the most critical role. Carbon label visibility and climate consciousness do not directly influence the intention to buy, but these factors contribute to increasing purchase intention.

Only 45.7% of the 234 survey participants claimed to have heard of carbon labels, compared to 54.3% who said they had never heard of them. Furthermore, sustainable consumption habits and the green halo effect directly impact the intentions to purchase carbon-labeled products, in which sustainable consumer habits play the most critical role. Carbon label visibility and climate consciousness do not directly influence the intention to buy, but these factors contribute to increasing purchase intention.","PeriodicalId":37060,"journal":{"name":"Innovative Marketing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139843750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

TikTok is increasingly influential in promoting brand awareness and boosting purchase intention. From a social media marketing perspective, brand awareness significantly influences consumers’ purchasing decisions. The primary objective of this study is to investigate and measure the factors influencing the brand awareness of TikTok users through social media marketing communications. The paper employs exploratory factor analysis, Cronbach’s Alpha test, and regression analysis to test the hypotheses. 24 observed variables were divided into six groups. Each variable was assessed using a 5-point Likert scale. The sample size includes 240 valid responses from TikTok users collected via convenience sampling. The questionnaire was distributed to TikTok users from Vietnam via the link on Google Forms. The collected data were processed by SPSS 20 software. The results suggest that six independent variables positively affect brand recognition via social media marketing on TikTok, with a 95% confidence interval at Sig. = 0.000 (0.05). Each of the six variables positively impacts initial expectations and is statistically significant at 1%. The results show that trends (Beta = 0.299) are the most decisive factors impacting brand awareness of TikTok users. Besides, electronic word of mouth (Beta = 0.242), influencer (Beta = 0.220), entertainment (Beta = 0.206), interaction (Beta = 0.200), and storytelling (Beta = 0.179) also positively affect the brand awareness of TikTok users. Limitations and further research suggest that marketers should investigate the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in the consumer’s brand awareness-constructing process.
