| Outcomes of customer engagement | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Concept | Definition | Implication | Studies |
| Value-in-use | The experiential, personal and relational value derived by the beneficiary (often the consumer) in value-cocreation) (Ranjan and Read, 2016) | Customer engagement covers customers interactions with others. Thus, it serves as a microfoundation to the cocreated value-in-use which stems from customer–brand interactions. | (Behnam et al., 2021; Ramaswamy and Ozcan, 2018; Storbacka et al., 2016) |
| Brand loyalty | A customer’s long-standing commitment to a brand, service and/or product. Covers both behavioral and attitudinal commitment (Oliver, 1999) | The more a customer engages with a brand, the closer the customer–brand relationship is likely to be. Thus, engaged customers are more likely to remain as customers to the brand (Fernandes and Esteves, 2016; Rather et al., 2022) | Fernandes and Esteves (2016), Vivek et al. (2014) |
| Word-of-mouth | A customer’s referrals to a brand, service or product, to others (Vivek et al., 2012) | The more a customer engages with a brand, the more likely they are to talk with others about it. Thus, customer engagement leads to word-of-mouth (Vivek et al., 2012) | (Chang et al., 2021; Vivek et al., 2012; Yoshida et al., 2014) |
| Price perceptions | Customers’ valuation of the price worthiness of an offer (Bergel et al., 2019) | Engaged customers tend to have more positive price perceptions than less engaged customers (Bergel et al., 2019) | (Bergel et al., 2019) |
| Brand image | A mental scheme of linkages and associations of a brand that creates a meaning of the brand to customers (Blasco-Arcas et al., 2016) | Customer engagement has a positive effect on brand image, as it allows customers to form positive experiences and encounters associated with the brand (Blasco-Arcas et al., 2016) | (Blasco-Arcas et al., 2016) |
| Trust | Customers having confidence in the reliability and integrity of a brand (Vivek et al., 2012) | As customers engage, the interactions between the customers and the brands may, if positive, lead to more trust between the two exchange partners (Vivek et al., 2012) | (Hollebeek and Macky, 2019; Vivek et al., 2012) |
