- Description
- In service-intensive industries, the main product is customer experience. Customer experience may be enhanced through the use of derivative works, a powerful marketing strategy, and experience intensification. The aim of this study is to examine the influence of customer experience on the intention to purchase derivative works and the mediating effect of experience intensification. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data, with 326 valid questionnaires returned. Structural equation modelling was used to test the conceptual model. The results suggest that Schmitt's five strategic experiential modules influence experience intensification and customers' intention to purchase derivative works to different degrees. Additionally, customers with a higher level of experience intensification are more likely to purchase derivative works, and, importantly, intensification strengthens the influence of customer experience on the intention to purchase derivative works. By combining tangible (derivative works) and intangible (customer experience) products and viewing the outcomes of customer experience as a series of responses, ranging from experience intensification to the intention to purchase derivative works, this paper contributes to the consumer experience literature. This study offers insights for managers to enhance the various dimensions of customer experience and optimise derivative work marketing strategies through experience intensification. This study is the first to investigate the role of derivative works in experiential marketing and the mediating role of experience intensification in the relationship between customer experience and purchase intention.
