Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to examine the influence of experiential modules and service quality on perceived values of young customers and, respectively, on satisfaction and word of mouth, as well as intention to pay more and revisit. In this endeavour, the study illustrates unique the context of experiential modules and attempts to highlight several improvements in the literature.

Design/methodology/approach

An instrument was developed to measure how strategic experiential module, social judgment module and service quality perceptions of customers influence their functional and emotional experiential value. Primary data, which were gathered by surveying 660 respondents, diagnosed young customers’ experiences in well-known coffee shops in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Measurement of constructs and its interrelationships were examined based on partial least square–structural equation modelling (PLS–SEM).

Findings

The results of SEM through PLS method were acceptable in terms of reliability and validity. The empirical results revealed that some of strategic experiential modules and service quality perceptions of young customers have positive influences on experiential value. These contributions postulate an impetus for future research in various service settings.

Originality/value

Regarding the role, the study assesses the role of shopping experiences of young consumers on experiential value, customer satisfaction and post-purchase attitudes. It is anticipated that by filling this knowledge gap, the research will assist in strengthening marketing strategies, which require an adjustment in the current business environment. The detailed results and suggestions for future research are discussed further.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to examine the influence of experiential marketing modules, service quality and social judgement on experiential values of young customers. The paper also investigates the effects of experiential values on customer satisfaction (CS) and post-purchasing behaviour. In addition, the paper intends to strengthen the shift in marketing paradigm and to provide insightful enhancements to the literature.

Design/methodology/approach

An instrument was developed to measure how strategic experiential module (Schmitt, 1999), social judgement module (Rosenberg et al., 1968) and service quality perceptions of customers influence functional and emotional values. Primary data were gathered through surveying 402 respondents in order to diagnose young customers’ experiences in popular coffee stores in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The constructs and their interrelationships were examined based on partial least square-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM).

Findings

The results of PLS-SEM were found to be adequate in terms of validity and reliability. The results revealed that some of experiential modules and service quality have positive stimuli on experiential values. These contributions postulate an impetus for potential exploration in numerous service settings.

Originality/value

The study assesses the effect of shopping experiences of young customers on experiential values, social judgement, CS and post-purchase shopping attitudes. It is anticipated that by filling this gap, this study will assist in strengthening marketing strategies, which requires an alteration in the existing business atmosphere. The suggestions and results for future research are discussed in detail accordingly.
