This Special Section aims to feature the papers that examine the intersection of interactive advertising and fashion consumer behavior under the contactless shopping environment that has been facilitated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Through the prolonged pandemic, consumers have learned to shop contactless and have been getting accustomed to it. Retailers and brands have been adapting to the change by introducing contactless marketing platforms to fulfill the needs of contactless shopping experience. Over the past years, interactive advertising has provided new opportunities for fashion brands and products to connect with their target customers more personally through innovative ways driven by technology. As interactive technologies continue to evolve, newer platforms such as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and voice/image recognition technology backed by artificial intelligence (AI) have vastly changed the fashion consumer experience. Such innovations have helped the transition to the contactless shopping experience that is likely to stay even after the pandemic. Interactive advertising encompasses a variety of forms such as mobile, digital video/audio, programmatic, social, advergaming, interactive billboard, and behavioral advertising (Interactive Advertising Bureau, https://www.iab.com/). With the continuous advent of new technologies, interactive advertising presents tremendous opportunities for fashion experiences through digital and interactive platforms. The COVID-19 pandemic has become one of the most influential catalysts to expedite the use of such opportunities. This Special Section seeks to explore this phenomenon through theoretical lenses with empirical evidences and implications.
Following potential topics or any other topics that connect interactive advertising and contactless fashion experience are welcome. • Technologies to enhance the contactless shopping experience (e.g., apps, self-checkout, contactless payments) • Interactive advertising effectiveness related to fashion brand experience • Social media and fashion/luxury brands (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, WeChat, Weibo, Pinterest) • Fashion influencers, bloggers, and vloggers • Personalization and customization in fashion advertising strategy • Relationship marketing and fashion consumers • Electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) and fashion marketing • Online product reviews and user-generated content (UGC) for fashion brands • Online community for fashion consumers • Consumer engagement for fashion brands in interactive environments • Fashion brand management through interactive advertising • Big data and fashion consumer behavior • Ethical, societal, diversity and policy considerations related to fashion interactive advertising • Corporate social responsibility and sustainability via interactive advertising for fashion brands • Media technologies (e.g., AR, VR) and fashion brand experience • Artificial Intelligence (AI) in fashion (e.g., Stitch Fix, online styling subscription service) • Local and location-based fashion interactive advertising • Cultural and global perspective of interactive advertising and fashion
