Recently, together with globalization, marketing practitioners have developed alternative methods to reach consumers. One of these methods is the concept of retro marketing, which resurfaces the feelings and thoughts of the past that a person remembers and enables the products or services to be presented to consumers again. In the literature review, studies on the concepts affected by retro marketing were encountered, but it was seen that the mediating factors between the concepts it affects were not sufficiently emphasized. This study aimed to contribute to the literature by revealing the mediating role of brand image in the effect of retro marketing on brand love and to guide company managers for long-term relationships with consumers. 404 consumers who consume retro products were taken as a sample. Convenience sampling method was chosen to collect data. The survey, which included closed and open-ended statements, was applied to consumers online. The results were tested with SPSS 21 and AMOS 24 statistical package programs. As a result of the research, it was seen that retro marketing and brand image positively affected brand love, and brand image played a mediating role in the effect of retro marketing on brand love.
