Abstract

The emerging concept of online consumer engagement attracts increasing attention from both practitioners and academics. Consumer brand engagement provides a theoretical foundation for understanding how consumers of luxury brands think, feel, and behave with brands they follow on social media sites. There is a lack of in-depth studies on the factors that affect consumers’ engagement with luxury brands on social media sites. To address this gap, 12 in-depth interviews, were conducted and a new theoretical framework developed to understand the factors that influence luxury brand engagement on social media. The four emerging factors are: information brands’ acquisition, previous experience with the brand, information vividness, and ideal social self-image. The study introduces a framework for explaining consumer engagement with luxury brands on social media.
