| Summary: | Green marketing has been around for more than 3 decades. It has bloomed in the
1980s, fell in the 1990s and then resuscitated in the 2000s. Many organizations had since
integrated green marketing into their businesses. Many researchers had been performed to
relate green marketing with revenue. However, there are not many references on the
contribution of green marketing’s dimensions such as green design, green logistic, green
pricing, green targeting and green positioning to brand loyalty. This research aimed to
explore the relationship between dimensions of green marketing with brand loyalty.
Hypotheses and online questionnaires were form and constructed based on
literature review. Online survey form were then developed and distributed through online
media. The collected responses were then analyzed using SmartPLS to examine and
validate the hypotheses constructed. The analysis showed that green marketing
dimensions of green pricing, green targeting and green positioning had no significant
relationship to brand loyalty. Green marketing dimensions of green design and green
logistic showed significant relationship to brand loyalty with green logistic being the
most significant. Consumers were also shown to be prone to repeat their purchases just
based on the product design while product logistics ensured consumers to stay with the
product for a longer period. |
