Apparel Transparency Matters: Exploring U.S. Consumer Sentiments and Reactions
Abstract
This study endeavored to enhance comprehension of U.S. consumers' sentiments and reactions toward apparel products that furnish traceability information. Specifically, the purpose of this study was to propose a reach model based on the S-O-R framework (Stimulus- Organism-Response) to identify how information quality, brand image, and promotional efforts as stimuli affect U.S. consumers’ internal evaluation (i.e., brand trust and perceived benefit as organism) of apparel products with traceability information, which consequently impact their behavioral responses in terms of purchase intention, word of mouth (WOM), and brand loyalty.
Keywords: apparel, traceability, transparency, consumer, SOR model
