Thèmes de recherche
Dr. Gwenaëlle Briand-Decré is an Assistant Professor of Marketing at University of Angers (France). She holds degrees from University Paris Dauphine (MS, Ph.D.). Her honors include the Aguirre- Basualdo Award of “Chancellerie de Paris” (2012) and Dia Mart award for the best paper with managerial contribution (Etienne Thil conference 2012). She is also an affiliate member of Professor Aradhna Krishna’s Sensory Marketing Laboratory at the University of Michigan.
Her most recent publications and studies have concerned sensory marketing in retail and virtual environment. Her areas of interest cover how the visual and haptic senses affect consumer perception of spaces, retailers, brands and products. She is currently working on consumer biases and how these biases influence packaging evaluation and purchase decision.

Case study
“Mésange et Compagnie: Du Lait Frais en Boulangerie” (2015)
Public: BA, MS or MBA Students
This case study aims at testing the ability of students to make decision while launching a new business.
The case study is based on information from an actual small business specialized in short distribution channel for farm products. During the launching period, Mesange and Company decided to pre-test its concept by selling some dairy products (only fresh milk) in bakeries.
Objectives: After analyzing marketing, managerial, accounting and legal information, students have to explain why they advise the founder to develop its concept or why he has to stop its business.

(2015) “Sound and Safe”: The Effect of Ambient Sound on the Perceived Safety of Public Spaces”, International Journal of Research in Marketing, (HCERES 2015: A) Abstract: The amount of crime to which individuals are exposed on a daily basis is growing, resulting in increased anxiety about being alone in some public places. Fear of crime usually results in avoidance of places that are perceived to be unsafe, and such avoidance can have negative financial consequences. What can be done to reduce fear in relatively safe public places that are nevertheless perceived as being unsafe? In this paper, we explore the effect of auditory input (type of ambient sound) on perceived social presence and one’s feeling-of-safety in public spaces such as car parks and metro stations. In one field study and four laboratory studies, we demonstrate that different ambient sounds convey social presence to a different degree. When perceived social presence is higher and positive, the feeling-of-safety is also higher. Additionally, we show that an increase in perceived safety has a positive effect on consumers’ satisfaction with the public area and even raises their willingness to purchase a monthly membership card for the public area. Furthermore, the effect of ambient sound on such consumer responses is serially mediated by perceived social presence and feeling-of-safety.

Abstract: Lighting and temperature are two important stimuli in sensory marketing. However, these stimuli have not yet been studied in controlled retail environments. The objective of this research is twofold: (1) to propose a methodology to infer the effect of different levels of lighting and temperature in a controlled environment with visual aids; (2) to test the impact of these simulated stimuli on environmental perceptions and behavioral intentions, following a S-O-R (Stimulus-Organism-Response) model. This model postulates that stimuli should influence internal responses which in turn shall have an impact on behavioral responses. This research is based on the encoding and retrieval literature as well as the literature in physics, ergonomics and environmental psychology. In study 1, we manipulated lighting and temperature levels in digital photographic images, using relevant cues (illuminance and color temperature for lighting; clothing and activity level for temperature). A between-subjects design experiment was carried out over 387 respondents: two simulated levels of lighting (bright cool light and soft warm light) X two simulated levels of temperature (slightly warm temperature and slightly cool temperature) X three types of stores (jeans store, bookstore, furniture store). We found that, under these simulated conditions, the participants accurately perceived the differences of lighting and temperature levels, as we predicted. In study 2, the same photographs were used in a within-between subjects design over 110 participants and 330 observations. We tested the impact of these simulated stimuli on environmental perceptions (stimulating and relaxing) and behavioral intentions (intention to buy and intention to spend time in the store). Both a bright cool light and a slightly warm temperature had a stimulating effect on participants’ store perception. Under those conditions, participants also increased their intentions to buy and to spend time in the store. The stimulative perception mediates the relationship between: (1) lighting and both intention to spend time in the store and purchase intention; (2) temperature and intention to spend time in the store. These results confirm the benefit of using digitally manipulated stimuli with photographs in controlled environments.

Abstract: Light intensity and thermal conditions have energy savings implications. Based on environmental psychology, ergonomics and in-store environment research, this study analyzes the direct and interaction effects of lighting and perceived temperature on store evaluations. Simulation of three real stores by pictures turns out to be relevant tool: Simulated light levels have been implemented by pictures retouched by a professional photographer and temperature levels by visual clues (winter versus summer clothes) .Three evaluative dimensions emerged from the factor analysis: stimulation, upmarket positioning and relaxation. A 2 x 2 x 3 experiment (lighting x perceived temperature x retail outlet) shows that lighting and its interaction with perceived temperature influence stimulation and upmarket positioning while perceived temperature has a single direct impact on stimulation. The type of retail outlet (jeans, books, and furniture) affects the three dimensions. Energy Savings implications are discussed.
