Abstract

This study examined the effect of NFT (Non-Fungible Token) characteristics on brand attachment within the context of luxury fashion brands in China. Quantitative methodology was employed, involving the distribution of survey questionnaires to luxury fashion consumers aged 21 to 41 in four Tier 1 cities in China. The results indicate that all five NFT characteristics (NFT scarcity, NFT exclusivity, NFT design aesthetics, and NFT novelty) have a positive influence on Chinese consumers’ perceived hedonic value, which in turn, contributes to their emotional attachment with luxury fashion brands. Additionally, perceived NFT-brand fit plays a moderating role in the relationship between consumers’ perceived hedonic value and brand attachment. This study reveals the psychological responses of consumers towards NFTs and their corresponding behavioral reactions to the NFT marketing strategies of luxury fashion brands. The findings introduces a fresh perspective to the literature on NFT marketing and the consumption behaviors of Chinese consumers.
