PurposeCommunicating the identity of a family business generates positive results in consumer response. The paper aims to understanding how the efficient transmission of family identity can influence consumer behavior is essential for designing family firms' marketing communication strategies.Design/methodology/approachAn experimental study based on the eye-tracking technique was designed to determine how attention to (familiar vs non-familiar) visual stimuli on a website influences consumer recognition of a family firm status and how it influences consumer behavior. A sample of 212 individuals was exposed to (simulated) websites of family and non-family firms in the hospitality industry to capture information about their eye movements and measure visual attention to specific stimuli that communicated family identity.FindingsVisual attention has a direct and positive influence on recognizing family firm's identity (FFI). Through FFI, visual attention has an indirect positive effect on trust in the company and attitude toward the brand (BraAtt). Trust in a firm positively affects purchase intention (PurInt).Originality/valueIt is known that consumers can perceive a FFI; however, there is no study on the sensory mechanisms operating in consumers' perceptions of family identity. The study contributes to understanding how consumers can perceive a FFI. This study proposes a novel method for evaluating consumer responses by transmitting family business identity on digital platforms.

家族身份的传递与消费者的反应:消费者是否认可家族企业?

目的传达家族企业的身份会在消费者反应中产生积极的结果。本文旨在了解家庭身份的有效传递如何影响消费者行为对于设计家族企业的营销传播策略至关重要。设计/方法/方法基于眼动追踪技术的实验研究旨在确定如何关注(熟悉与不熟悉的)网站上的视觉刺激会影响消费者对家族企业地位的认知,以及它如何影响消费者的行为。212 个人的样本被暴露于(模拟的)酒店业家族和非家族企业的网站,以获取有关他们眼球运动的信息,并测量对传达家族身份的特定刺激的视觉注意力。发现视觉注意力对识别家族企业的身份(FFI)有直接和积极的影响。通过 FFI,视觉注意力对公司的信任和对品牌的态度(BraAtt)具有间接的积极影响。对公司的信任正向影响购买意愿(PurInt)。原创性/价值已知消费者可以感知 FFI;然而,没有关于消费者对家庭身份认知的感官机制的研究。该研究有助于了解消费者如何看待 FFI。本研究提出了一种通过在数字平台上传输家族企业身份来评估消费者反应的新方法。视觉注意力对公司的信任和对品牌的态度有间接的积极影响(BraAtt)。对公司的信任正向影响购买意愿(PurInt)。原创性/价值已知消费者可以感知 FFI;然而,没有关于消费者对家庭身份认知的感官机制的研究。该研究有助于了解消费者如何看待 FFI。本研究提出了一种通过在数字平台上传输家族企业身份来评估消费者反应的新方法。视觉注意力对公司的信任和对品牌的态度有间接的积极影响(BraAtt)。对公司的信任正向影响购买意愿(PurInt)。原创性/价值已知消费者可以感知 FFI;然而,没有关于消费者对家庭身份认知的感官机制的研究。该研究有助于了解消费者如何看待 FFI。本研究提出了一种通过在数字平台上传输家族企业身份来评估消费者反应的新方法。该研究有助于了解消费者如何看待 FFI。本研究提出了一种通过在数字平台上传输家族企业身份来评估消费者反应的新方法。该研究有助于了解消费者如何看待 FFI。本研究提出了一种通过在数字平台上传输家族企业身份来评估消费者反应的新方法。
