The role of trust in the marketing activities of entrepreneurs establishing new ventures
Article Abstract:
Trust plays a significant, and varied, role in the entrepreneurial activity of establishing a new venture. Elements which form part of the trusting relationship include a vision shared between the entrepreneur and distributors or consumers. Entrepreneurs may also seek to gain trust by associating their brand with existing trusted brands, or they may use their own enthusiasm to attract trust. Enthusiasm is an important concept in this context as it has two separate roles. Customers may also be willing to forgive as one of their parts in the trusting relationship.
