Value delivery in green consumption: the effect of advertisement value proposition on consumer perception and purchase intention.

Amid the expanding green consumer market, companies are increasingly emphasizing their eco-friendly contributions in advertising. This study delves into the value delivery process within green consumption, guided by the service-dominant logic (S-D logic). A survey-based experiment with 589 responses reveals that the information frame in advertising significantly impacts consumer value perceptions and purchase intentions. Notably, the temporal frame of advertising plays a pivotal role, influencing consumers' value perceptions. Future framing enhances emotional value perceptions, while past framing promotes environmental value perceptions. This research enhances our understanding of value delivery mechanisms in green consumption and holds valuable implications for marketers of sustainable products.

Driving Consumer Value Co-creation and Purchase Intention by Social Media Advertising Value.

Social media advertisement (ad) is a growing phenomenon designed to reach and engage customers. However, despite their continued adoption, less remains known regarding the effectiveness of social media ads to co-create brand value. In response to this gap, this study aims to deepen the theoretical understanding of consumer value co-creation through social media advertising value. The data were collected using purposive sampling from 286 experienced social-media users, and the model was tested using partial least square (PLS)-based structural equation modeling. The results indicate that entertainment, aesthetic appeal, interactivity, and trendiness significantly affect the adverting value of social media ads. In turn, ad value affects consumers' intention for value co-creation. Consequently, our findings suggest the importance of social media advertising value where marketers may enhance consumer-brand engagement (CBE) by incorporating interesting content, which may encourage the customer's interaction with the social media ads and strengthen value co-creation behavior. The results further contribute to nascent marketing literature by demonstrating that value co-creation acts as an antecedent to generating positive electronic word-of-mouth (e-WOM) on social media platforms to drive consumers' online brand purchase intention.

O senso de pertencimento na cocriação de valor nos serviços esportivos: evidências do fitness business / El sentido de pertenencia en la cocreación de valor en los servicios deportivos: evidencias del fitness business / The sense of belonging in the value co-creation in sports services: evidence from the fitness business

A jornada de experiências do cliente de fitness é observada nesta pesquisa exploratória, na qual 15 consumidores de duas academias orientadas para serviço, não membros de redes, sendo uma em Alphaville (Barueri/SP) e a outra na Savassi (Belo Horizonte/MG), participaram de entrevistas semiestruturadas. Das mais de três horas de gravação e uma centena de páginas de transcrição, foi possível propor um modelo conceitual de como o entrelaçamento das dimensões tangível, atendimento técnico e pertencimento permitem ao cliente a cocriação de valor na experiência de uso da academia. Concluiu-se que 1) os serviços também têm uma dimensão tangível; 2) apesar de toda a preparação acadêmico-tecnicista da equipe, os usuários querem coproduzir suas experiências; 3) o sentimento de pertencimento, além de engajar na cocriação de valor, é uma dimensão que pode aliviar qualquer desconforto advindo das experiências nas outras dimensões. A importância do pertencimento pode ser moderada pela autoeficácia do usuário.(AU)

La jornada de experiencias del cliente de fitness se observa en esta investigación exploratoria, donde 15 consumidores de dos gimnasios orientados al servicio, que no forman parte de cadenas, uno en Alphaville (Barueri/SP) y otro en Savassi (Belo Horizonte/MG), participaron en entrevistas semiestructuradas. Las más de tres horas de grabación y cien páginas de transcripción, se logró proponer un modelo conceptual de cómo el entrelazamiento de las dimensiones tangibles, servicio técnico y pertenencia permiten al cliente la cocreación de valor en la experiencia de uso del gimnasio. Se concluyó que 1) los servicios también tienen dimensión tangible; 2) a pesar de toda la experiencia académico-técnica del equipo, los usuarios quieren coproducir sus experiencias; 3) el sentimiento de pertenencia, además de involucrar en la cocreación de valor, es una dimensión que puede aliviar cualquier malestar proveniente de las experiencias en las otras dimensiones. La importancia de la pertenencia puede ser moderada por la autoeficacia del usuario.(AU)

The fitness customer experience journey is observed in this exploratory research, in which 15 consumers from two service-oriented gyms, not members of chains, one in Alphaville (Barueri/SP) and the other in Savassi (Belo Horizonte/MG), participated in semi-structured interviews. From more than 3 hours of recording and a hundred pages of transcription, it was possible to propose a conceptual model of how the tangible, technical service and belonging dimensions intertwine each other, allowing the gym customer to co-create value in their experience of usage. It was concluded that 1) services also have a tangible dimension; 2) despite all the academic-technical staff preparation, users want to co-produce their experiences; 3) the feeling of belonging, in addition to engaging in the value co-creation, is a dimension that can alleviate any discomfort arising from experiences in the other dimensions. The user's self-efficacy can moderate the importance of belonging.(AU)
