From there, propose management implications to increase brand loyalty for Samsung mobile phone products among consumers in Ho Chi Minh City.
The study conducted a survey of 260 consumers using Samsung mobile phones, selected using the convenience sampling method. The questionnaire is pre-designed, focusing on 4 factors: (i) Customer satisfaction, (ii) Brand trust, (iii) Perceived quality, (iv) Attitude towards. To analyze data, the study used descriptive statistical methods, assessing the reliability of the scale using Cronbach's Alpha coefficient, EFA exploratory factor analysis, Pearson correlation analysis and multivariate regression. Valid data are entered into SPSS 27 software for processing.
Research results show that all 4 groups of independent variables included in the model have a positive relationship with the dependent variable Brand loyalty, ranked in descending order: SAT- Customer satisfaction, TRUST- Brand trust, PQ- Perceived quality and PRO- Attitude promotion towards. These results are quite similar to previous studies. The study also proposes some management implications to improve brand loyalty for Samsung mobile phone products among consumers in Ho Chi Minh City. Keywords: Brand loyalty, Samsung, regression xii CHAPTER 1: OVERALL OF THE THESIS Chapter 1 states the urgency of the topic, the research objectives of the topic, the contents that need to be implemented to achieve the research goals, the research questions that need to be clarified, and the structure of the topic.
From there, readers have an overview of the research.1 INTRODUCTION Brand loyalty is an important concept in customer behavior research (Funke & Day, 1976; Huang & Yu, 1999). Customers are considered brand loyal when they tend to buy many products of a certain brand and make repeat purchases (Chaudhuri, 1999). Loyalty represents customer attitudes. If customers trust and have a good impression of a brand, they will prioritize purchasing products of that brand (Yoo et al.
By studying the level of brand loyalty of customers, it is possible to focus promotional and marketing strategies directly and effectively on customers (Lau et al. In the context of the increasingly competitive mobile phone market in Vietnam, the number of new and repeat customers buying products is increasing, requiring businesses to identify influencing factors and build brand loyalty. According to a December report by market research company Canalys, Samsung is still the leading brand in smartphone market share in Vietnam in the third quarter of 2023 (Canalys, 2023). Samsung is also the enterprise with the highest number of patents registered in the US in the world, providing a solid legal basis to deal with copyright infringements (Vu Dang Chung, 2023).
Specifically, Samsung holds more than 223,000 patents registered around the world, of which the majority are registered in the US, Korea, Europe and China (Vu Dang Chung, 2023). However, Samsung's market share is on the decline (down from 39% to 29%) (Canalys, 2023). In the world, there have been many studies on factors affecting customer brand loyalty towards mobile phone products, such as: Dauch et al. 2022), Lin & Wang (2006), Luarn & Lin (2003), Pratiwi (2015), Slaba (2019), Tabish et al.
These investigations were conducted by the authors in many different countries. Besides foreign scholars, some domestic researchers 1 also conducted surveys to find the causes that promote customer brand loyalty such as: Tong Thi Nghiem (2012), Nguyen Thanh Cong (2007), Vu Xuan Truong (2023), Do Hai Hung and Nguyen Thi Mai Huong (2020), Pham Thi Lan Huong and Ngo Thi Hong (2015). However, there is almost no research that specifically investigates the factors affecting customer brand loyalty to Samsung mobile phones in the city. Ho Chi Minh.
Therefore, in order to research and draw scientific conclusions that contribute to brand building and enhancing customer loyalty to the Samsung brand - a king in the mobile phone industry but is There are negative changes in 2023, the author chooses the topic: "Determinants of brand loyalty towards Samsung mobile phone products: A case study of consumers in Ho Chi Minh City".1 General objective of the study The aim of this study is to identify factors that affect brand loyalty towards Samsung mobile phone products of consumers in Ho Chi Minh City.
