Effects of mobile service operator promotions in repurchase behaviour in South Korea: a longitudinal study

This study examined the effect of mobile operator promotions (MOP) on customer purchase intentions using longitudinal survey data (over two phases in a two-year period) from mobile phone consumers in South Korea. Results indicated that MOP led indirectly to repurchase intentions, but moderated mediation effects varied across time points. MOP appears primarily to moderate brand attitudes, which strongly influence repurchase intentions. Specifically, the direct effect appears between purchase intentions at time T and repurchase intentions at T + 1; however, the moderating influence of MOP is limited in these timeframes.
