A RESEARCH AGENDA FRAMEWORK ON CONSUMPTION AND HAPPINESS

Abstract

The relationship between consumption and happiness is attracting further attention from academic as well as professionnal researchers due to suprising new findings day by day. This article focuses on the current literature that analyzes happiness in the contexts of marketing strategy, branding and most importantly, consumer behaviour. A critical perspective reveals dominant trends, the most frequently used and most appropriate measurement techniques and definitions together with the exceptions of common assumptions. Three critical areas that are touched upon in this analysis are experiential recommendation, experiential gifts and happiness-based segmentation
