Branding in a Budding Industry: The Influence of Visual Cues on Consumer Behavior in the Cannabis Market

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of visual branding cues on consumer responses in the cannabis market. Visual communication plays a critical role in shaping consumer behavior and perception. However, limited research exists on how consumers evaluate visual branding cues in the context of cannabis products. This study focuses on the effects of branded versus unbranded cannabis packaging for edible and inhalable products. It explores consumer product trust, product attitude, purchase intention, and willingness to pay in relation to visual branding cues. By investigating the impact of visual branding cues in the cannabis market, the study contributes new insights into the applicability of cue utilization theory and the theory of reasoned actions through this novel context.
