Product Type and Personality in Brand Relationships

Ronald Voorn, Sabrina Hegner and Ad Pruyn

Chapter 4 in Consumer Brand Relationships, 2015, pp 83-107 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Most manufacturers wish that all their customers would start a relationship with their brands. Not just any relationship but preferably one that is of an exclusive and loyal nature since this can be very beneficial (Sheth and Parvatiyar, 1995). This was also the central theme in the book Lovemarks(Roberts, 2004), which stipulated that great brands need more than just respect to earn undying loyalty from their consumers. In 2004, Roberts posited that respect for the brand is required, but that only when brand love is obtained can the hearts of followers be unlocked. Since then it seems as if brand love has become the Holy Grail for brand marketing research.
