Collector-Brand Relationships: Consumer Engagement Via Disney Pin Collecting
By examining Disney pin collectors, this research investigates the strategically important construct of consumer engagement. Drawing upon observations, a survey, and depth interviews, the paper explores whether and how collecting branded items can initiate and strengthen consumer-brand relationships. Preliminary results suggest categorizing collectors’ initial motivations as brand-driven, product-driven, or socially-driven engagement.
