This study aims to examine the direct and indirect effects of brand experience on consumer satisfaction, brand trust and brand loyalty. It also aims to put forth a model encapsulating the notions of brand experience, consumer satisfaction and brand trust to explain the relationship between these three antecedents of brand loyalty. A face to face survey was used to collect data with the use of interviewers. The population of interest was consumers of four different brands from different product categories. Convenience sampling technique was used to gather data from 1200 respondents. A total of 1102 valid questionnaires were used for analysis where structural equation modelling was used for analysis. Findings revealed that brand experience directly and positively affected consumer satisfaction, brand trust and brand loyalty. In addition, it was found that brand experience had an indirect impact on brand loyalty through both consumer satisfaction and brand trust. More specifically, it was found that the effect of brand experience on consumer satisfaction and brand trust was much more powerful than its direct effect on brand loyalty. On the other hand, in terms of total effects, it was seen that brand experience had a greater effect on brand loyalty by itself than the total effects of consumer satisfaction and brand trust combined. The empirical results indicate that brand experience has a direct effect on consumer turst. This study highlights the direct and indirect effects of brand experience on brand loyalty directly and through the mediating roles of consumer satisfaction and brand trust.
