Passion for the Brand and Consumer
Brand Relationships
Introduction
Brands have a major role in consumers’ lives (Ahuvia, 2005;
Fournier, 1998; Wallendorf et al, 1988)
True cult for brands (Belk and Tumbat, 2005)
Consumer’s passion for brands (Bauer et al, 2007; Matzler et al,
2007), activities ( Schouten et al, 1995).
Introduction
Only two studies explore the concept of brand passion:
 Bauer et al (2007) : influence of brand’s characteristics
 Matzler et al (2007) : influence of consumer’s personality
Our objective
To establish that consumer brand relationships constructs
influence or may be influenced by passion for the brand.

Brand Passion
Definitions
Brand passion corresponds to the enthusiasm, the infatuation or even the
obsession of a consumer for a brand.
Bauer et al (2007, p.2190): “a primarily affective, extremely
positive attitude toward a specific brand that leads to
emotional attachment and influences relevant behavioural
factors”
Keh et al (2007, p. 84): “brand passion describes the
zeal and enthusiasm features of consumer brand
relationship”.
Matzler et al. (2007, p.16): “if a consumer is passionate
about a brand, he/she will engage in a much more
emotional relationship with the brand and even miss the
brand or feel loss when the brand is unavailable”.

BRAND
PASSION
- When a consumer identifies to a brand, he develops feeling for it
(Harrison-Walker, 2001)
-A object/brand must be part of the consumer identity to be loved (Ahuvia, 1993)
Research’s Hypothesis
Brand Trust
- Brand Trust and Brand Passion have never been associated
- Interpersonal context: trust may favorize the apparition of feelings between
partners (Larzelere and Huston (1980)
-Brand trust may influence Brand Love (Albert et al, 2010), Brand Affect (Chaudhuri
et al, 20001) and Brand Attachment

Research’s Hypothesis
Extraversion

(Baumeister et al., 1999; White et al., 2004).
- Brand context: two opposite results (Bauer et al, 2007; Matzler et al, 2007)
