Abstract

Purpose

This study aims at developing a reliable and valid measure of retail customer experience.

Design/methodology/approach

Scientific scale development process has been followed. Survey methodology was used to collect data. The results are tested for reliability and validity using Confirmatory Factor Analysis.

Findings

The study conceptualizes retail customer experience as a reliable and valid multidimensional construct, explained in four dimensions: leisure, joy, distinctive and mood.

Research limitations/implications

It was confined to only “brick and mortar” personal lifestyle retail stores. Mediating and moderating effects of contextual variables and the influence of antecedents have not been studied. It provides insights into the “delivered” retail customer experience as perceived by the shoppers for future research.

Practical implications

The scale can be used to measure the experiential responses of retail customers and provide directions for retailing strategies.

Originality/value

The study presents psychometrically valid scale to measure retail customer experience scale.

abstract Retailers recognize that greater understanding of customers can enhance customer satisfaction and retail performance. This article seeks to enrich this understanding by providing an overview of existing consumer behavior literature and suggesting that specific elements of consumer behavior—goals, schema, information processing, memory, involvement, attitudes, affective processing, atmospherics, and consumer attributions and choices—play important roles during various stages of the consumer decision process. The authors suggest ways in which retailers can leverage this understanding of consumer behavior. Each of these conceptual areas also offers avenues for further research.
