Brand value, customer loyalty and repurchase intention
Developing the brand and business value is one way to build brand loyalty as positive consumer attitudes areassociated with consumer preference for the brand or product. Asgari and Hosseini (2015) look into how customer perceptions, attitudes, satisfaction and brand loyalty explain international customer purchasing behavior for the South Korean cosmetic brands such as AmorePacific Hong Kong (APHK). The country of origin image and brand image has a positive influence on the purchase intention and attitude (Augusta, Mardhiyah and Widiastuti, 2019). The attitudes and perceptions of international customers influence their purchasing behavior and intention (Asgari and Hosseini, 2015).
