Abstract(s)
Diversos autores afirmam que a atitude dos consumidores consiste numa avaliação
pessoal aos atributos de um objeto. Essa avaliação inclui as crenças e sentimentos do
consumidor relativamente ao objeto, no momento em que este o avalia.
As redes sociais estĂŁo cada vez mais presentes no dia-a-dia dos consumidores e das
marcas e, como tal, uma parte significativa do contacto entre marcas e consumidores acontece
nestas plataformas. Assim, Ă© importante conhecer a influĂȘncia que as diversas redes sociais
podem ou nĂŁo exercer sobre a atitude dos consumidores relativamente Ă s marcas.
Procurou-se perceber se o tipo de imagens publicadas pela Levi Strauss & Co. no
Instagram influencia ou nĂŁo a atitude dos consumidores relativamente a esta marca. No caso
de se verificar alguma influĂȘncia, investigaram-se quais os elementos das imagens que
provocaram tal influĂȘncia e porquĂȘ.
NĂŁo foi possĂvel confirmar a existĂȘncia de diferentes influĂȘncias provocadas por
diferentes tipos de imagens. No entanto, os resultados deste estudo - desenvolvido através de
uma metodologia qualitativa - sugerem que as publicaçÔes do Instagram influenciam
positivamente a atitude dos consumidores relativamente Ă Leviâs.
Ao longo da investigação identificaram-se ainda, os fatores percecionados pelos
participantes como responsĂĄveis pela melhoria da sua atitude: o facto de as imagens serem
agradåveis e apelativas, transmitirem confiança, mostrarem produtos das coleçÔes atuais da
marca e mostrarem que a marca Ă© versĂĄtil, uma vez que se adapta a diversos estilos e
situaçÔes.
Several authors affirmed that consumerâs attitude consists of a personal evaluation of an objectâs attributes. That evaluation includes the consumerâs beliefs and feelings towards the object, at the moment it is evaluated. Social mediaâs presence in consumers and brandsâ lives is increasing and a significant part of the contact between consumers and brands happens in these platforms. Therefore, it is important to know the influence social media can have on consumersâ attitude towards brands. The aim of this study was to understand if the type of images Levi Strauss & Co. shares on Instagram influences or not consumerâs attitudes towards that brand. When any influence was verified, the next step was to find out what in the image caused the attitude change, and why. It was not possible to confirm the existence of different influences caused by different types of images. However, the results of this study - developed through a qualitative method - suggest that posts on Instagram positively influence consumersâ attitudes towards Leviâs. Through the investigation it was also possible to identify the factors responsible for the participantsâ attitudes improvement: the fact that the images are pleasant and appealing, trustworthy, show products from the latest collections, and show that the brand is versatile, since it adapts to different styles and situations.
