题:Beauty Premium in Cosmetic Industry — A Study Based on Match-Up Hypothesis

容:An ongoing stream of research has examined the impact of beauty premium in different scenarios, and validated the rewards of the attractiveness. Online-to-offline cosmetic service integrates both the attributes of professional healthcare service and e-commerce, and it is still unclear whether this beauty-seeking industry, which provides professional services, has the “beauty premium” phenomenon. Thus, this study aims to investigate whether the doctors’ beauty revealed in their profile photos on online-to-offline cosmetic platforms (e.g., SoYoung.com) has an impact on consumers’ decision. Built on match-up hypothesis, we propose the effect of beauty is not invariant, and it depends on the gender of the doctor and the rating rated by previous consumers. In study 1, we collected data from both cosmetic platform (i.e., SoYound.com) and professional healthcare platform (i.e., Haodf.com) and conducted negative binomial regression analyses. In study 2, we designed a randomized experiment to further rule out the self-selection issue among consumers. Results show that good-looking doctors induce a significantly higher level of purchase intention than plain-looking doctors only for beauty-seeking consumers under cosmetic platform. Additionally, female doctors have a stronger beauty premium effect, and doctors with high ratings (social evaluations) have a stronger beauty premium effect.
