Anxiety is reportedly a prevalent incentive for the use of CAMs, despite the present low state of knowledge about their safety and efficacy. READ MORE

  4. 2. Multi-sensory cues in interplay and congruency in a retail store context : Consumer emotions and purchase behaviors

    Author : Miralem Helmefalk; Magnus Söderlund; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Atmospherics; Congruency; Emotions; Multi-Sensory; Purchase behaviors; Sensory cues; Sensory interplay; Sensory marketing; Marketing; Marknadsföring;

    Abstract : While research has shown the positive impact of sensory cues and cue- congruency on emotion and behavior in retail store atmospheres, these cues have primarily been investigated in isolation or in pairs. Consequently, little is known on how multi-sensory cues in interplay impact on consumer emotions and purchase behaviors. READ MORE
