Research:
Brands as a Mean of Consumer Self-expression and Desired Personal Lifestyle (Munteanu Claudiu Cătălin, Pagalea Andreea, 2013):
‘Lifestyle has a great impact on consumer behaviour and brand preferences. Very often, consumers tend to choose brands that are considered “appropriate” for their self-image. Accordingly, companies will try to position their brands in order to fit into consumers’ lifestyle. In addition to expressing their identity through the everyday choices they make, consumers will often seek new ways in which they can express their personal identity. As a result, consumers can use brands as a relevant mean of self- expression and also as a lifestyle “beacon”. The purpose of this article is to examine the role of brands in this circumstances and to highlight the possible implications.’
Competing for Consumer Identity: Limits to Self-Expression and the Perils of Lifestyle Branding (Chernev et al 2011):
‘The idea that consumers use brands to express their identities has led many companies to reposition their products from focusing on functional attributes to focusing on how they fit into a consumer's lifestyle. This repositioning is welcomed by managers who believe that by positioning their brands as means for self-expression, they are less likely to go head-to-head with their direct competitors.’

The complex relationship between
consumer satisfaction and brand loyalty.
Brand loyalty vs repurchasing
‘In defining the loyalty concept, we first have to differentiate
between repeat purchasing behavior and brand loyalty. In
our view, repeat purchasing behavior is the actual rebuying
of a brand. Only the behavior of rebuying is important,
regardless of the consumer's degree of commitment to
the brand. However, brand loyalty not only concerns the
behavior of rebuying, but also takes into account that
actual behaviour antecedents. Therefore, we identify
two distinct types of brand loyalty: true brand loyalty
and spurious brand loyalty.’
