    Abstract

    One of the most valuable assets of any company is its reputation, prestige and brand image. The greater the influence of these factors in the minds of consumers, the more the desire to buy the company's products increases and the company can achieve more benefits. The purpose of this research is to study the effect of prestige, credibility and brand image on repurchase intention. This study is applied in terms of results and descriptive in terms of purpose and has been done with a survey method. The statistical population of the research is mobile phone buyers in the city of Yazd, 213 people were selected as a sample using Cochran's sampling formula. Structural equation modeling method was used to analyze the collected data. The results show that brand credibility, brand prestige and brand image have a positive and significant effect on perceived quality and information cost savings. It was also found that brand reputation and image have a negative and significant effect on perceived risk. In addition, perceived quality and information cost savings have a positive and significant effect on repurchase intention. While perceived risk has a negative and significant effect on repurchase intention. Also, according to the findings of the research, brand prestige did not have a significant effect on perceived risk and perceived risk did not have a significant effect on information cost savings. In addition, the moderating effect of product involvement on the relationship between perceived quality and repurchase intention and the moderating effect of product knowledge on the relationship between perceived risk and repurchase intention were not accepted.

    Introduction

    The credibility and perceived value of non-commercial are often considered as two very important features that marketers need to adopt and build a strong non-commercial (Venerin [1], 2005). The credibility of a brand is the perceived trust in the ability and willingness to consistently deliver what is promised and provide great benefits to customers and companies. In fact, buying a reputable brand guarantees the customer a quality they can count on. For companies, a valid non-commercial means that marketing efforts will be more cost-effective due to the possibility of intensifying the acceptance of the message, thus causing more sales for companies following referrals and repeat purchases of customers. The articles show that advertising alone has limitations in shaping the credibility of strong brands, but it can enhance its credibility by adding expectations so that the customer will approve it when he buys and uses the product. Another important feature for building a strong brand is the presence of a high perceived value in a brand. Although many different dimensions of the perceived value of the product or brand name have been defined in the articles, the brand is linked with the quality perceived by the customer, a perception that only shows the overall quality and is not necessarily based on the knowledge of the customers regarding its specific features (Rahimi Hellari and others, 2008). Just as brand credibility may represent a more desirable and tangible part of perceived value, examining another competitive but different part of perceived value (such as brand prestige) together with brand credibility will reveal a more balanced and larger picture of the customer's decision process. 1-2) Statement of the Problem Despite the growing recognition of the importance of credibility, prestige, and brand image as brand attributes, very few studies have examined how credibility, prestige, and image The brand affects the customer's choice behavior. Understanding the combined mechanism of credibility, prestige and brand image in forming the willingness to buy a brand will be very important and effective for advertisers and marketers, as it will provide the necessary guidance in developing the brand's position through more appropriate advertising and non-commercialization strategies.  In addition, the reason for the existence of intense competitive pressures, one of the most important strategies through which companies can achieve a sustainable competitive advantage, is to improve the quality of products and reduce the risk perceived by consumers. Research in this field shows that improving the quality of products and reducing the risk perceived by consumers will bring valuable results for the companies and will eventually lead to the purchase of the company's products and profit for them.While few researches have investigated these factors on consumer's repurchase intention in the mobile phone industry. On the other hand, with the increase in customer expectations of product quality, it is considered as a competitive factor. For this reason, mobile phone manufacturing companies should review the quality of their products and by knowing the strengths and weaknesses of their products, they should be able to meet the expectations of their customers so that they can guarantee their survival. It is based on perceived risk and quality. 1-3) Importance and necessity of research Considering the growth of the mobile phone market in recent years and the necessity of planning mobile phone manufacturing companies in order to sell their products according to the needs and demands of customers, the marketers of these companies should seek appropriate planning for selling their products and keeping their customers. Since the sale of products is very important for companies, especially mobile phone manufacturers. For this reason, research in the field of repurchase intention and identifying factors affecting it is important. Therefore, nowadays, researches on the influence of brand dimensions on consumer's purchase intention have attracted the attention of researchers. Therefore, providing effective solutions that can take into account all the effective criteria in repeat purchases can be a great help to mobile phone manufacturers. Therefore, this research aims to investigate the effect of brand prestige, brand prestige and brand image on repurchase intention. 1-4) Research objectives 1-4-1) Determine the factors affecting repurchase intention. 1-4-2) Determine the effect of brand prestige on repurchase intention. 1-4-3) Determine the effect of brand reputation on repurchase intention. 1-4-4) Determining the effect of brand image on repurchase intention.
