Michaël Flacandji, « Customer memory of the in-store shopping experience. Evidence from a network analysis », Décisions Marketing, ID : 10670/1.d93388...
What memory does the customer have of an in-store experience, and how does this memory affect their relationship with the retailer? In order to analyze the structure of the shopping experience memory, we conduct a longitudinal study of 132 customers. Using network analysis, we identify a memory structure built around four categories of elements: 1) the store and its environment, 2) the products, 3) the interactions with staff, 4) the evaluation of the experience. We show that a physical store has the ability to generate memories that allows it to create and maintain the customer–retailer relationship.
