Influence of Brand Personality on Repurchase of LCC Airlines

Abstract

Nowadays, many people live with SNS, showing their own lives to others and sharing ideas throughout the day. Thanks to the advanced technology, they need less time than ever to acquire information by using hashtag and only a single word and have no difficulties predicting others’ preferences and propensity to consume. Previous research results indicate that people having similar tendencies tend to similar kinds of brand products.The recent increase on the number of LCC(low-cost carrier) airlines has accelerated the competition in the air transport market, which makes airline companies introduce and apply a new brand strategy to their marketing. However, LCC airliners do not seem to differentiate themselves in their service quality and air-fare, in which circumstances it is not easy to attract new consumers.This paper is to suggest a new strategic marketing of LCC airliners by doing some research on the relationship between domestic LCC companies’ brand tendency and consumers’ recurring purchasing.
