Master's Thesis from the year 2009 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: B , Lund University, language: English, abstract: The purpose of the study is to provide empirical evidence if the exposure to in-store TV in retail stores does effect customer-based brand equity of the advertised product. The aim is to verify if a causal relationship between in-store TV and brand equity exists.The underlying research philosophy of this thesis is positivism. A cross-sectional research design and a deductive approach to theory are used. The quantitative data consists of structured observations and structured interviews with a sample size of n=169. A control group was used to be able to compare brand equity levels.The empirical work was performed in the Swedish supermarket ICA Kvantum Mobilia in Malmö. Consumers that passed the in-store TV were observed and afterwards surveyed with a questionnaire. A comparison of consumers that viewed the TV with those who did not, makes it possible to analyze and compare customer-based brand equity.The findings indicate that in-store TV can in fact influence customer-based brand equity. A causal relationship between the two objects of study is confirmed. The brand equity dimension that showed a significant impact is uniqueness.
