Celem artykułu jest dokonanie przeglądu, usystematyzowanie i podsumowanie badań empirycznych dotyczących źródeł i konsekwencji lojalności wobec marki. Przegląd literatury pozwolił zidentyfikować pięć kategorii czynników poprzedzających lojalność wobec marki związanych z: konsumentem, marką, społecznością, firmą i relacjami. Typ lojalności kształtuje się w zależności od kombinacji różnych czynników poprzedzających, przy czym najwyższy poziom lojalności (premium) jest uważany za najbardziej pożądany. Oprócz podsumowania literatury dotyczącej lojalności wobec marki, przegląd ten ma praktyczne konsekwencje dla menedżerów marketingu. Oczekiwania klientów na każdym etapie procesu decyzyjnego muszą być zrozumiane po to, by móc do nich dopasować odpowiednie czynniki skłaniające do wykształcenia najwyższej lojalności. Aby osiągnąć optymalne rezultaty menedżerowie realizując strategie marketingowe muszą wykorzystywać nie tylko elementy wpływające na zachowanie konsumentów, ale również te wpływające na ich emocje.

The objective of this paper is to review, systematize, and summarize empirical research on the antecedents and consequences of brand loyalty. The literature review has identified five categories of antecedents to brand loyalty associated with consumer, brand, social, corporate and relational factors. The type of loyalty formed varies according to the combination of various antecedents, with premium loyalty being considered the most desirable. Apart from summarizing the literature on brand loyalty, this review has practical implications for marketing managers. Customer expectations at each stage of the customer decision process must be understood, and therefore combined with the various antecedents to incite premium loyalty. Managers must apply not just behavioural but also affective components in their marketing strategies to achieve optimal results.

Цель статьи – провести обзор, систематизировать и подвести итоги эмпирических исследований, касающихся источников и последствий лояльности по отношению к бренду. Обзор литературы позволил выявить пять категорий факторов, предшествующих лояльности по отношению к бренду, связанных с потребителем, брендом, обществом, фирмой и отношениями. Тип лояльности формируется в зависимости от набора разных предшествующих факторов, причем самым высоким уровнем лояльности (premium) считают наиболее желательным. Наряду с подведением итогов обзора литературы, касающейся лояльности по отношению к бренду, у этого обзора есть практические последствия для менеджеров маркетинга. Ожидания клиентов на каждом этапе процесса принятия решений должны быть понятными для того, чтобы мочь приспособить к ним соответствующие факторы, склоняющие к сформированию самой высокой лояльности. Чтобы достичь оптимальных результатов, менеджеры, осуществляя маркетинговые стратегии, должны использовать не только элементы, влияющие на поведение потребителей, но и те, которые влияют на их эмоции.
