Cashback Is Cash Forward
The authors examine purchase behavior in the context of cashback shopping—a novel form of price promotion online in which consumers initiate transactions at the website of a cashback company and, after a significant delay, receive the savings promised to them. Specifically, they analyze panel data from a large cashback company and show that, independent of the predictable effect of cashback offers on initial demand, cashback payments (1) increase the probability that consumers will make an additional purchase via the website of the cashback company and (2) increase the size of that purchase. These effects pass several robustness checks and are also meaningful: At average values in the data, an additional $1.00 in cashback payment increases the likelihood of a future transaction by .02% and spending by $.32—figures that represent 10.03% of the overall impact of a given promotion. Moreover, the authors find that consumers are more likely to spend the money returned to them at generalist retailers, such as department stores, than at other retailers. They consider three explanations for these findings; the leading hypothesis is that consumers fail to treat money as a fungible resource. They also discuss implications for cashback companies and retailers.

Exploring Factors Affecting Consumer’s Impulse Buying Behavior in Live-Streaming Shopping: An Interactive Research Based Upon SOR Model
The emergence of live-streaming commerce has fueled the phenomena of impulse buying. However, existing understanding of this phenomenon is relatively limited. In this study, we adopted the stimulus-organism-response (SOR) paradigm to create an influence mechanism of impulse buying behavior in live streaming shopping. We investigated the influence of social presence and sales promotion (stimuli) on impulse buying behavior (response) through flow experience (organism). In addition, we also examined time availability and money availability, two situational variables, as moderators of flow experience and impulse buying behavior. To explore the factors that contribute to consumers’ impulse buying behavior, an online survey (n = 375) was done in China. The empirical findings indicate that social presence and sales promotion positively affect flow experience, subsequently triggering consumers’ impulse buying behavior in live streaming. The results also indicated the positive moderation of money availability and time availability. Theoretically, the findings contribute to live- streaming commerce literature and impulse-buying literature. The findings also provide insightful managerial implications for live-streaming merchants to better understand impulse buying behavior to develop an effective marketing strategy.

Success factors driving consumer reuse intention of mobile shopping application channel
PurposeDue to fierce competition in the mobile retailing market, it is desirable to identify the success factors driving consumers to reuse a mobile shopping application. This research intends to develop a model for mobile shopping app success by integrating an e-commerce systems success (ESS) model and sales promotion benefits and parasocial interaction literatures.Design/methodology/approach302 useable online questionnaires were obtained. The data analysis was conducted using the structural equation modelling.FindingsThe results indicate the validity of the ESS model in predicting consumers' reuse intention of mobile shopping apps where three quality dimensions of system, information and service facilitate both perceived value and user satisfaction, which in turn generates reuse intention. Furthermore, savings and entertainment denoting the utilitarian and hedonic sales promotion benefits have positive impact on perceived value but have no influence on satisfaction. Parasocial intention between consumers and sellers facilitates both value perception and satisfaction.Originality/valueThis research contributes to the mobile retailing literature by identifying the success factors driving consumers' continuance intention of mobile shopping apps. Theoretically, it validates and extends the ESS model in mobile shopping app context by identifying savings, entertainment and parasocial interaction as additional success factors. Based on the findings, two approaches are proposed to suggest mobile retailers design a successful mobile shopping app.

Can I choose my offer? How choice of a promotional offer impacts consumer evaluations and decisions
Free gifts play a role in consumer sales promotions, and some retailers have begun to provide consumers with a choice of free gifts. However, there is scant empirical research that explores the effects of this novel sales promotion on consumption variables. This research investigates the interactive effects of attributes and gift choice (versus a fixed free gift) on value perceptions and purchase intentions. Findings show that by offering a choice set, marketers can increase the perceived value and attenuate the negative effects of lower monetary levels of the gift offer. Our conceptualization and predictions are supported by one field and four controlled experiments in a variety of contexts. Additionally, this research identifies boundary conditions and eliminates potential alternative explanations. Results advance our understanding of the moderating and mediating relationships between value perceptions and purchase intentions, and how managers can use free gift choices in designing effective sales promotions.
