Abstract

This paper investigates whether both the functional and the emotional component of customer experiences contribute to customer satisfaction, recommendation and loyalty. The research is conducted in two different contexts: hedonic experiences and services. The research results show that both components explain satisfaction, recommendation and loyalty of the customers, however the impact differs according to the context of the experience. A negative functional experience is significantly more sanctioned for services whereas a positive emotional experience is significantly more rewarded for hedonic experiences. We also find that for services destructive emotions are significantly more present in case of a negative functional experience. In the context of hedonic experiences, a positive emotional experience evokes significantly more promotional emotions.
