The role of customer-based brand equity in influencing Netflix subscribers’ repurchase intentions

Abstract

The objective of this study is to explore the effect of Customer-Based Brand Equity (CBBE) on Netflix users’ repurchase intention. CBBE represents the extra value a brand provides to a product above its basic functional features. The research focuses on the relationship between four core components of CBBE (brand awareness, brand associations, perceived quality, and brand loyalty) and repurchase intention. Using a quantitative, explanatory research design, data were collected through an online self-administered questionnaire with a convenience sampling method. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to test the hypotheses. The results indicate that brand awareness and brand associations function as a single construct, and all CBBE components positively influence repurchase intention among Netflix users. These findings contribute to the existing CBBE literature and offer practical insights for Netflix and other streaming service providers seeking to comprehend and influence the relationship between customer-based brand equity components and consumers’ repurchase behavior.
