Tiivistelmä: | In the article, it is argued for the validity of the relationship proposition in the consumer-brand context incl. a debate as to the legitimacy of brand as an active relationship partner and empirical support for the phenomenological significance of consumer-brand bonds. There is a framework provided for characterizing and better understanding the types of relationships consumers do form with brands. Presented is a diagnostic tool for conceptualizing and evaluating relationship strength. There are three in-depth case studies, with their interpretation guided by an integrative review of the literature on person-to-person relationships.
