In this dissertation the field of promotion marketing was examined by studying the impact of sale promotions on brand royalty. More specifically, for products with different levels of involvement, the study assessed how effective different nonmonetary and monetary promotions are at retaining brand loyalty. Two research questions were posed: (a) Will the effect of nonmonetary and monetary promotions on brand loyalty vary according to the extent of hedonism or utilitarian benefits for low and high involvement products? (b) Will the preference for nonmonetary or monetary promotions on brand loyalty have a greater or lesser effect for low and high involvement products? It was theorized that the effect of nonmonetary and monetary promotions on brand loyalty would vary according to the extent of hedonism or utilitarian benefits for low and high involvement products (H1a and H2a). The second set of hypotheses (H2a and H2b) posited that preference for nonmonetary promotions would have a greater on brand loyalty for both high and low involvement products. A questionnaire consisting of 36 questions provided the data that was collected from 114 subjects. Two product categories were chosen for the study: deodorant (high involvement) and laundry detergent (low involvement). For each product category, regression was used to explore the relationship between the indirect variables and the dependent variable -- brand loyalty. The results did not show support for any of the hypotheses; yet, they offer valuable information on sales promotions. Five important findings are discussed: 1. Monetary promotions are perceived to provide more utilitarian benefits. 2. Nonmonetary promotions seem to provide more utilitarian benefits than hedonic benefits. 3. "Preference for Gifts," a nonmonetary promotion, could affect negatively brand loyalty. 4. "Buy 2 get 20% off," a monetary promotion, could have a positive impact on brand loyalty. 5. Involvement has a positive relationship with brand loyalty.

Due to the rise of the internet, the mislabelling of food products has turned into a well-known phenomenon. There is an unsolved paradox concerning how the act of mislabelling may influence brand loyal grocery shoppers’ loyalty and purchase intentions towards their favourite food brands. To investigate the area of mislabelling and brand loyalty, four in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted in a qualitative setting. The participants were handpicked based on a purposive and convenience sampling method, where individuals with experience in the catering industry were requested. The findings suggest that the outcome of mislabelling is highly individual as it may be perceived differently depending on the shoppers’ level of involvement as well as the strength of the initial brand loyalty. The present study contributes new theoretical insights concerning the concepts of branding and brand loyalty, suggesting that trust is an essential element. Also, this study contributes to practical implications that may limit the loss of consumer trust from a firm’s perspective. For future research, this study suggests that a cultural or gender-centric investigation concerning mislabelling and brand loyal grocery shoppers would be appropriate.

Businesses are constantly trying to find new strategies that help them gain loyal customers, in order to avoid the considerable cost of attracting new customers. This thesis analyzes if service quality has any significant impact on brand loyalty, where customer satisfaction is used as an indicator for brand loyalty. Additionally, it tests if the factor of generations, and the generational differences has any impact on how service quality is valued by the consumer in terms of customer satisfaction and brand loyalty. To answer this, an experiment in the form of two surveys was sent out and answered by 99 participants belonging to either Generation X or Generation Y, where customer satisfaction was measured as a result of either neutral or excellent service quality. The results showed and confirmed what previous studies have claimed, that service quality has a significant effect on both customer satisfaction and brand loyalty, where evidence was found that excellent service quality highly impacted the participants’ satisfaction as well as their level of loyalty towards a brand. Furthermore, the study concluded that there is no difference in how Generation X and Generation Y value service quality, despite what previous research has claimed in regard to generational differences.

Even though the majority of companies have realised the benefits of implementing sustainability practices into their business strategies today, the problem is that the marketing of these activities still has a negative impact on the environment. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to examine if the impact of sustainable advertisements can influence the purchase decisions of young adults who show loyalty to another brand. In order to reach this purpose, qualitative research was conducted using an abductive approach through 23 semi-structured individual interviews with consumers between the ages of 19-30. This enabled us to get an in-depth understanding of their subjective consumption behaviour in comparison to sustainable advertisements. This report draws on existing literature which states that sustainability promotions positively impact the consumer decision process and that consumers’ rarely switch from a brand they are highly loyal to. The results show that sustainable advertisements' impact on young adults is dependent on the product-involvement category. In order for sustainable advertisements to have a chance to generate a switching behaviour among young adults for high-involvement products, the message must provide clear and transparent information regarding the product, because the perception of brands tends to be more valuable. However, this is not as important for low-involvement products since sustainable messages can provoke a switching behaviour based on emotional appeals. Therefore, this research contributes to companies which seek to use sustainable marketing for high- or low-involvement products.
