Wilson, Jonathan, Eckhardt, Giana and Belk, Russell (2013) The rise of inconspicuous consumption. In: European Conference of the Association of Consumer Research 2013, 4-7 Jul 2013, Barcelona, Spain. (Unpublished)
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Inconspicuous consumption – where brand signals are not readily apparent, available or visible to most consumers – is on the rise, even in Asia, which has typically favored conspicuous brand signaling. This appears to be an oxymoron which challenges conventional branding theory; we argue it’s redefining constructs such as luxury and class.
