This research examines the role of risk perceptions on the success likelihood of brand extensions. Prior research has focused on two main factors as driving the brand extension success: brand loyalty and the perceived fit between the brand and extension product. However, the role of purchasing risk perceptions (physical, financial, psychological, etc.) in driving the brand extension success has not been discussed adequately in the literature. This study posits that (1) risk perceptions explain substantial incremental variance (in addition to those explained by brand loyalty and perceived fit of the extension) in consumers’ willingness to purchase (WTP) measures and (2) risk perceptions also moderate the effects of brand loyalty and perceived fit on WTP. These suggestions were tested separately for children’s’ products and parents’ products. The results indicate that the effects of the perceived fit on WTP are higher in high risk situations than those in low risk situations only when parents purchase an extension product for the use of their children.

Badanie analizuje znaczenie postrzegania ryzyka przez konsumentów w zwiększaniu prawdopodobieństwa sukcesu procesu rozszerzania marki. Wcześniejsze badania koncentrowały się na dwóch głównych czynnikach warunkujących sukces rozszerzania marki: lojalności wobec marki oraz stopniu dopasowania danej marki do produktu na który jest ona przenoszona. Jednocześnie należy zaznaczyć, że wpływ ryzyka związanego z zakupem (fizycznego, finansowego, psychologicznego itd.) na sukces procesu rozszerzania marki nie został w literaturze przedmiotu omówiony w dostatecznym stopniu. Niniejsze badanie zakłada że: (1) Postrzeganie ryzyka przez konsumentów wyjaśnia znaczny odsetek wariancji zmiennej wyjaśnianej jaką jest skłonność konsumentów do zakupu (WTP) (pozostałymi zmiennymi objaśniającymi zmienną WTP są: lojalność wobec marki oraz stopień dopasowania marki do produktu na który jest ona przenoszona) (2) Postrzeganie ryzyka przez konsumentów ogranicza także siłę oddziaływania lojalności wobec marki oraz stopnia dopasowania marki do produktu na przejawianą przez konsumentów skłonność do zakupu. Wyniki badań pokazały, że postrzegane przez konsumentów dopasowanie marki do produktu (na który jest ona przenoszona) na WTP jest wyższe w sytuacjach związanych z wyższym ryzykiem niż w tych kiedy ryzyko to jest niższe, jednak jedynie w przypadku, kiedy zakup dotyczył produktu kupowanego dla dziecka.
