WEB SITE BRAND ATTRIBUTES AND E-SHOPPER LOYALTY - A Comparative Study of Spain and Scotland

Abstract

This study examines the impact of web site brand personality, web site brand association, web site brand image, and web site brand relationship on e-shopper loyalty to the web site. The model was estimated on data from consumers of online products in Spain and Scotland using PLS technique. The findings suggest that web site brand association and web site brand personality are good predictors of web site brand image. However, web site brand image does not explain the intention of Spanish students to recommend a web site and to use it to by again.
