PRACTICAL PERSPECTIVE:
Lovemarks (Roberts, 2005)

Our empirical study revealed three new dimensions of brand love with a non-interpersonal character. The findings indicated that brand-related, as well as ‘real’ non-interpersonal relationship dimensions had greater relevance to brand love than person-related dimensions. (Less)
