Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the influence of the producer's presence on the store on consumer perceptions of the product value and intentions toward the store. Through an online experiment, we show that his presence influences the perception of healthiness and the product social value in a positive way. It also impacts loyalty and commitment intentions toward the store. Finally, the producer is perceived as being more expert than a salesperson. Results as well as implications, limits and research avenues are discussed.
