Theparentandextendedbrandmaybesimilarinseveralways(Yeung&Wyer,2005). When extension modes of web-brands are viewed as the basis of fit or similarity judgement in web-brand extension evaluation, online to offline mode and online to online mode imply different degrees of similarity between the parent and extension product. In other words, the extension modes of web-brands make a new dimension of fit in brand-extension study. Similarity is more likely to occur when extending online rather than offline (J. W. Park & Lee, 2005). Common or different market space (i.e. online or offline) is likely to be leveraged as the element in shaping the customer’s attitude towards extension. According to categorisation and schema theory (Aaker & Keller, 1990), the more similar the extensions are to the parent brand, the more likely consumers are to rely on the parent brand’s characteristics to infer the extension. However, when consumers perceive the extension similarity to be low and the categorisation between parent brand and extended brand fails, they will continue elaborate processing and transfer their attitude towards a parent brand to the extended brand based on the parent-brand concepts and shared attributes with an extension brand (Joiner & Loken, 1998).
