This thesis aims to study the impact of brand alliances between mass brands and luxury brands on consumers' purchase intention based on the SOR theory. Variables such as brand awareness, product involvement and social media marketing are introduced to jointly construct a research model of the impact effect. Subsequently, three groups of brand alliance behaviors between mass brands and luxury brands are selected as research cases in this paper. Data is collected through questionnaires, and relevant regression analyses are conducted to verify the hypotheses.
The research findings show that there is no significant positive correlation between the brand awareness of mass brands and consumers' purchase intention, while the remaining variables all have a significant positive correlation with the purchase intention. Perceived value and perceived risk play a partial mediating role in the significant positive influence of luxury brand awareness, product involvement, promotional activities, and social media marketing on consumers' purchase intention.
This paper enriches the relevant research in the fields of brand alliances and marketing, and provides new theoretical and practical perspectives for the research on the purchase intention of brand alliances. It has certain innovativeness and practical value.
