In today's fiercely competitive business landscape, family businesses possess a distinctive yet often overlooked asset: their family identity. Beyond being merely a name or legacy, this identity weaves together a rich tapestry of values, authenticity, and a profound connection with customers.
During this webinar, Dr Chris Graves will guide us through a conversation with two experts on how family businesses can effectively leverage their family identity to influence post-purchase behaviour. Caitlin, drawing from her family business background, conducted research exploring whether a family's brand identity impacts how a consumer responds to social media posts by a family business and their intention to purchase its products. We will delve into her research findings and the implications they carry. Dean will then take us on a journey through the theoretical foundations that underpin the influence of family brand identity.
In conclusion, both Caitlin and Dean will share insights into the practical implications for family businesses that maintain a social media presence.
