What drives brand loyalty?

What drives brand loyalty?
Many researchers have focused on how brand sales are affected
whenever a company integrates body positivity in its online marketing
strategy in the past years. Due to the rising rate at which social media
embrace body positivity applications, many consumers have been
convinced to buy brands that encourage humans to appreciate their
natural body sizes and shapes (Cuong, 2020). For one to understand
consumers’ responses on body positivity in online marketing,
surveys are undertaken. Based on books, theories, and analysis of
surveyed data, one can admit the impact of brand sales on integrating
body positivity with online marketing. However, very little research has
been undertaken to consider factors that promote brand loyalty to young
consumers. Good customer-staff relationship and consumers’
feelings are appreciated, whereas good consumer-experience analysis
can reveal a proper comprehension of the consumer journey and
embrace long-term policies that target loyal customers.
Using social media like Facebook and YouTube, online marketing
helps achieve brand prominence and access many customers from
different backgrounds. Since both good and bad reviews spread faster on
these platforms, the business must keep up with the latest trends to
maintain a good relationship with online customers in real-time. Using
online platforms like YouTube, specific viewers categorized by age,
work professions, hobbies, or nationalities can target brand
advertisements. The creation of a sensible content policy is possible
once the brand knows the target viewers.
Most young online users are born after 1985 and have a lot in
common compared to those born before 1985. Both have been using the
online platform since their youth.. From a survey done by Kaur et al.
(2020), the younger audience has a high probability of forgiving first
brand false advertisement, unlike the older audience; hence, brand
admission of guilt helps a lot.
Online platforms have transformed how beauty players market
their brands and interact with their respective audiences, especially
regarding diversity, body positivity, gender, and ethnicities. To identify
and generate brand identity, brands should maintain an active
communication relationship with online customers hence obtaining a
good product reputation. The social identity viewpoint is better than
computer-generated market theories.
Due to the increased lack of trust in online content, brands
should not fail to reassure consumers of their unique brand image
credibility based on all available content. Brands can boost their brand
image by advertising it on more than one online platform like YouTube
and Facebook to increase consumers’ trust. More customers are
cautious about what they can view online; hence, they know what brands
interact with them positively. Customers desire to interact with actual
individuals who look physically similar to them. For this reason, brands
that meet these body positivity demands will make more sales. Since
online marketing of body positivity is not a simple subject, origin
authenticity is crucial to prevent the promotion of illusion fakeness in
brands (Zavattaro, 2021).
A quantitative investigator helped in performance in social media
to reply to thesis questions whose material was obtained from published
works and online. A defined sample population of 200 young audiences
was used (Zhou et al., 2021). Online questionnaires should reply to the
research queries. Four qualitative queries were added where three were
compulsory to boost quantitative investigation. An explanatory trainer
helped with the wide-based comprehensive questionnaire to improve
quantitative investigation. The survey activities lasted from August 20 to
November 13, 2019. This survey helped brands understand
consumers’ responses on the impact of body positivity application in
online marketing. Webroot tool assisted in generating surveys and
scrutinizing collected information. The outcomes were illustrated using a
sample that stands for the whole population.
The 200 respondents were primarily categorized on age and
gender. On the question of the respondents keeping track of various
fashion and attractiveness brands online, 55% replied being followers,
24% replied being non-followers, and 21 replied being only curious
followers to new brands roll-out. The majority of respondents only
follow motivative and educational brands online. Most of the
respondents agreed that material diversity is typically displayed in online
brands advertisements. Respondents were asked questions on ten scale
point measures; most respondents gave six, which is closer to average, 5,
thus translating into them being confident on the claim to prove diversity
claim.
From the survey, 82% of respondents suggested that they find it
crucial they can be identified with the online brand image, 11% of them
agreed it’s the number one factor, and 7% disagreed with it being a
number one factor. 50% and 65% were average and median, respectively
(Cuong, 2020). Generally, most respondents agreed it’s a number
one factor to be identified with brands’ online marketing. On body
positivity influence in online marketing strategies, respondents gave
their verdict on above 90% approval on the subject.
The bad customer-brand relationship makes consumers feel
unappreciated, which happens when brand content has no relation with
consumers, which tarnishes brand reputation online. Secondly, lack of
diversity in a material brand can lead to some consumers of certain races
or nationalities feeling unwanted. This problem is caused due to lack of
good consumer-experience analysis, which can reveal a proper
comprehension of the consumer journey. Lastly, if not taken care of,
health concerns can affect long-term policies that target loyal customers.
From both the research and investigations, the essentiality of
body positivity with online marketing cannot be disputed though it can
play a massive role in the future. The essentiality of ensemble towards
consumers, brand image, and ways of life is very paramount. Young
consumers have a high affinity for brands that share similar values they
uphold.
From both the research and investigation, brands rely heavily on
body positive and multiculturalism in online platforms marketing. Bodypositive online marketing affects the image of brands and the way
customers can perceive them, even though it does not correlate with high
sales. A body-positive product will boost brand image, brand status, and
profits.
