Prior to highlighting the differences in the importance of purchase criteria, we will develop a conceptual model based on the well-known concept of perceived value to indicate the most important choice criteria. This concept argues that consumers base their shopping decisions on what they receive and what they give up in the exchange. In doing so, they evaluate stores based on what is delivered, and how it is delivered to them.Consumers use lower level store choice attributes or criteria to infer more abstract evaluations of value, which ultimately affect their purchase intentions . Various researchers have already shown that the concept of perceived value – in which the store choice criteria act as constituents of value – can be used to infer customers’ online shopping intentions.
Following the retail literature, we have used five store choice criteria that define the customer’s value perceptions in relation to a store: merchandise quality, service quality,price attractiveness, time/effort savings and perceived risk. The conceptual models used in the retail literature are cost-driven by focusing on the shopping experience costs rather than on the benefits. Contrastingly,the shopping literature indicates that consumers also derive positive feelings from purchasing; they experience hedonic shopping benefits. As the hedonic shopping motivations are also important in the online context, we chose to include a shopping experience benefit, enjoyment, in order to capture the hedonic shopping motivations of online shoppers.
