Study of the impact of brand awareness of enterprises in the leisure snack industry on consumer purchase intentions : using product expectations as the mediating variable
Abstract:
With the rapid economic growth, enterprises in the leisure snack industry
have entered a phase of rapid development. Nowadays, it is crucial for leisure snack
companies to focus on factors influencing consumer purchase intentions in order to
better develop their businesses. When consumers decide to make a purchase, factors
such as brand awareness have an impact on their willingness to buy, extending beyond
the influence of the product itself. Additionally, with the development of the internet,
online shopping has become integrated into consumers' lives. Due to the inability of
online consumers to physically interact with products, there are differences in how
consumers perceive product brands. This study aims to investigate the influence of
brand awareness, consumer purchase intentions, and product expectations in the
leisure snack industry under two purchase scenarios: online and offline. Through
literature review, data collection using surveys, and data analysis using SPSS, the
hypotheses will be tested, and the results will be validated. The research findings
indicate that, in both online and offline purchase scenarios, brand awareness of leisure
snack companies positively influences consumers' purchase intentions. Specifically, in
both online and offline settings, aspects of brand awareness such as "brand
recognition," "brand recall," and "brand distinctiveness" all have a positive impact on
consumer purchase intentions. In the leisure snack industry, product expectations play
a mediating role between brand awareness and consumer purchase intentions.
