The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

The emerging concept of online consumer engagement attracts increasing attention from both practitioners and academics. Consumer brand engagement provides a theoretical foundation for understanding how consumers of luxury brands think, feel, and behave with brands they follow on social media sites. There is a lack of in-depth studies on the factors that affect consumers’ engagement with luxury brands on social media sites. To address this gap, 12 in-depth interviews, were conducted and a new theoretical framework developed to understand the factors that influence luxury brand engagement on social media. The four emerging factors are: information brands’ acquisition, previous experience with the brand, information vividness, and ideal social self-image. The study introduces a framework for explaining consumer engagement with luxury brands on social media.
