گناه و گناه: باید لوکس و شریک خیرخواهانه در نقطه فروش قرار بگیرد؟

If luxury retail strategy aims to generate awe rather than community, while charities convey community rather than awe, should luxury and charity partner at the point of sale? This research suggests that an association with charity at the point of sale can increase choice of (Study 1) and purchase intent toward (Study 2) a luxury brand and can facilitate upselling to a luxury (vs. value) store brand (Study 3). Further, it implicates guilt reduction as the underlying process mechanism (Studies 2 and 3). Managerial and retailing implications for cause-related marketing of luxury (vs. value) brands are discussed.
