This research aims to evaluate the effect of consumer traits, service quality, perception-based factors, customer satisfaction, and e-trust on electronic brand love and e-loyalty. In this study, a cross-sectional survey is conducted based on the questionnaire method to collect data from a sample of 300 customers of the Digikala Website in Isfahan, Iran. Structural equation modeling (SEM) is used to test the research hypotheses. According to the results, the service quality, consumer traits, and perception-based factors significantly affected customer satisfaction. Also, e-brand love had a significant impact on e-trust and e-loyalty; e-trust significantly affected e-brand love and e-loyalty, and e-brand love had a significant impact on e-loyalty. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this research stands among the first to evaluate the factors affecting electronic brand love and loyalty. The evaluation of brand love on loyalty demonstrated that the greater the amount of love and fascination with a brand, the higher the positive effect on consumer loyalty. Overall, managers are recommended to do their best to eliminate misunderstandings and create an interest in consumers, ultimately leading to greater customer loyalty. Managers should pay more attention to brand experience dimensions, such as sensory marketing. In this regard, creating a brand community by e-retailers is very helpful.
