Abstract Abstract
Brand loyalty plays a crucial role in influencing consumer buying behavior, particularly in shopping malls, where consumers are exposed to a variety of brands and marketing strategies. This study examines the effect of brand loyalty on the purchasing decisions of urban and rural consumers in shopping malls in Lucknow. Using a sample of 100 respondents, the study employs statistical techniques such as t-tests, chi-square analysis, and correlation analysis to assess the impact of brand trust, emotional attachment, and loyalty on consumer behavior.
The results indicate that brand loyalty significantly affects consumer purchasing patterns, with urban consumers demonstrating higher brand commitment than their rural counterparts. Furthermore, perceived brand trust has a positive correlation with buying behavior, and emotional attachment to a brand significantly influences purchase decisions. The findings highlight the need for marketers to adopt tailored branding strategies that cater to the distinct preferences of urban and rural consumers.
This study contributes to the existing literature by providing empirical evidence on consumer behavior in shopping malls and emphasizing the importance of brand loyalty in retail marketing. The insights gained can help businesses develop effective marketing strategies to enhance customer retention and engagement.
