Resumo(s)
Apesar do clima de tensão política e económica com que o mundo se depara, verificou-se um crescimento do mercado de bens de luxo nos últimos anos, tornando-se importante
estudar as motivações que conduzem à compra desses bens. Desta forma, pretende-se estudar
o comportamento do cliente, percebendo como é que as perceções sobre a marca como a
exclusividade, prestígio e intimidade com o cliente influenciam a lealdade à marca. Os preços
elevados dos artigos de luxo são uma constante neste mercado, por isso, será estudada a relação
entre a lealdade à marca e a disponibilidade para pagar um preço premium, pois, é necessário
compreender porque é que os compradores de marcas de luxo estão dispostos a despender de
valores muito elevados para comprarem determinados artigos de luxo. Ainda, serão abordadas
questões relacionadas ao status social percebido e ao passa a palavra eletrónico, a fim de obter
um melhor entendimento do estudo.
O presente estudo apresenta uma metodologia quantitativa, orientada através de um
questionário divulgado online. Deste, obteve-se uma amostragem não-probabilística por
conveniência onde foram alcançadas 486 respostas, porém, apenas 151 foram consideradas
válidas. Os dados resultantes, utilizando do método de modelagem de equações estruturais de
mínimos quadrados (PLS-SEM), demonstraram que apenas a exclusividade da marca e a
intimidade com o cliente impactam positivamente a lealdade à marca. Contrariamente, foi
observado que o prestígio não tem o mesmo impacto que as perceções anteriores. Concluiu-se
também que a lealdade à marca se relaciona positivamente com a disponibilidade para pagar
um preço premium. Também foi possível retirar conclusões relacionadas com o papel do status
social percebido e do passa a palavra eletrónico.
Academicamente, esta pesquisa permitiu trazer mais evidências empíricas para o tema
da gestão de marcas de luxo e comportamento do consumidor, nomeadamente, para a teoria do
consumo conspícuo. Ainda, foi possível concluir de que maneira as perceções à cerca da marca
levam a uma maior lealdade para com a mesma e, por consequente, torna os clientes mais
disponíveis para pagar um preço premium. A nível empresarial, permite que as organizações
adaptem as suas estratégias de modo a obterem clientes mais leais e dispostos a pagar preços
elevados pelos produtos de luxo.
Despite the climate of political and economic tension that the world faces, there has been a growth in the luxury goods market in recent years, making it important to study the motivations behind the purchase of luxury goods. In this way, the aim is to study customer behavior, understanding how perceptions of the brand, such as exclusivity, prestige, and customer intimacy, influence brand loyalty. The high prices of luxury items are a constant in this market, so the relationship between brand loyalty and willingness to pay a premium price will be studied because it is necessary to understand why buyers of luxury brands are willing to spend very high amounts to purchase certain luxury items. Furthermore, issues related to perceived social status and electronic word-of-mouth will be addressed in order to gain a better understanding of the study. This study presents a quantitative methodology, conducted through an online questionnaire. From this, a non-probabilistic convenience sampling was obtained, with 486 responses obtained, but only 151 were considered valid. The resulting data, using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method, showed that only brand exclusivity and customer intimacy positively impact brand loyalty. In contrast, it was observed that prestige does not have the same impact as the previous perceptions. It was also concluded that brand loyalty is positively related to the willingness to pay a premium price. Conclusions were also drawn regarding the role of perceived social status and electronic word-of-mouth. Academically, this research allowed for more empirical evidence on the topic of luxury brand management and consumer behavior, particularly for the theory of conspicuous consumption. It also demonstrated how brand perceptions lead to greater loyalty and, consequently, make customers more willing to pay premium prices. On a business level, it allows organizations to adapt their strategies in order to gain more loyal customers willing to pay high prices for luxury products.
