在社交媒體快速發展的背景下,迷因行銷成為提升品牌影響力和消費者參與度的重要策略之一。本研究採用方法目的鏈 (Means-End Chain, MEC) 理論,透過軟式階梯訪談法,對對40位不同年齡和性別的消費者進行一對一深度訪談,旨在探討消費者在觀看迷因行銷過程中的屬性、結果和價值之間的關聯。研究結果顯示,觀看迷因影片與梗圖的消費者之屬性以「有趣」、「時下議題」、「親切」為多數人考量的因素,其主要結果利益為「紓壓」、「共同話題」、「貼近生活」、;而「跟上潮流」、「生活樂趣」、「自我療癒」、為最重視的核心價值。本研究結果可為企業在設計迷因行銷策略時提供參考,透過滿足消費者的核心價值,提升品牌影響力和市場競爭力。 關鍵字:迷因行銷、方法目的鏈、消費者價值、價值階層圖、情感共鳴
Amidst the rapid evolution of social media, meme marketing has become a crucial strategy for boosting brand influence and consumer engagement. This study leverages the Means-End Chain (MEC) theory, using a soft laddering interview technique to conduct in-depth, one-on-one interviews with 40 consumers spanning different ages and genders. The goal is to explore the connections between the attributes, consequences, and values experienced by consumers when engaging with meme marketing content. The results show that consumers predominantly view memes as "entertaining," "topical," and "relatable." These attributes lead to benefits such as "stress relief," "shared topics," and "daily life relevance." Ultimately, the core values that consumers seek include "keeping up with trends," "enjoyment of life," and "self-healing." The findings of this study provide actionable insights for businesses in crafting meme marketing strategies, enhancing brand influence and competitive advantage by addressing consumers' core values.
