Event details

Introducing customers to new ideas lies at the heart of marketing, yet surprisingly little is known about customers’ state of inspiration within a marketing context. This presentation introduces customer inspiration as a customer’s temporary motivational state that facilitates transition from the reception of a marketing-induced idea to the intrinsic pursuit of a consumption-related goal. It briefly reports on the development of a 10-item customer inspiration scale. Further, it reports on a series of studies that assesses the drivers of inspiration in a retail context and the psychological mechanism through which inspiration is created.
