Abstract
Purpose
This study aims to test the empirical Islamic bank customer loyalty model with the perspective of mosques as customers.
Design/methodology/approach
The type of research used is quantitative to collect data from mosque customers; 93 questionnaires were analyzed using partial least square-structural equation modeling.
Findings
This research found a significant relationship between service quality and perceived value, service quality and brand image, perceived value and customer satisfaction, brand image and customer loyalty and customer satisfaction with brand image.
Research limitations/implications
First, this study only collects data from certain organizations or communities so that further research can develop the model by adding several other communities or organizations. Second, this research does not include several other important variables that influence customer loyalty, such as product innovation and company capabilities.
Originality/value
Islamic bank customer loyalty models have been widely explored from the perspective of individual customers only. This research offers new attributes that influence customer loyalty models in the context of organizations or communities, namely, mosques.

Abstract
Purpose
In this paper, the relationship of brand logo and purchase intention is investigated along with the mediating role of customer satisfaction, brand preference and brand attitude. The research is conducted on an online passenger transport company called Tapsi.
Design/methodology/approach
In this study, we examine the positive effect of brand logo on brand attitude, consumer satisfaction and strengthening the intention to buy and brand preference by customer satisfaction. The statistical population was randomly selected. We design a conceptual model and then prepare a standard online questionnaire and send it to the target groups. Among this, the participants, 59% are women and 41% are men. After collecting the data through the software Smart-PLS3, we start the analysis. According to Cronbach's alpha and AVE, the validity and reliability of the model are confirmed.
Findings
The study shows that the brand logo has a positive and direct influence on customer attitude and satisfaction, and customer satisfaction mediates the purchase intention and brand preference. Given that the brand logo describes the company, managers must be very sensitive to design of a proper logo and spend enough time and money on it.
Originality/value
Few studies have examined the effectiveness of the brand logo the present study and the results show that the brand logo and its structures are directly related to brand attitude as a result of consumer satisfaction in all services even transportation services. The first thing consumers see when they first use a company’s services is the company logo. The brand and its logo can change the attitude and decision of the customer. Past studies have also shown that the brand logo can have a direct impact on customer satisfaction and customer preference for the brand. Therefore a model was prepared and the mentioned variables were selected. Brand preference as a mediating variable has a positive role on buying intention. However all relationships and their predictive power have been confirmed.

Abstract
Purpose
This two-part explanatory study aims to examine how the framing of messages influences non-Muslims who are unlikely to visit a mosque due to their self-conception, and how this might affect their behavioural change specifically, their intention to visit. This study also tested the impact of co-existence between framed actual image, ideal image and the intention to visit.
Design/methodology/approach
Using a snowball sampling approach, the study first sampled participants without message framing (358 respondents). Using the same respondents, the second phase of the study introduced message framing, resulting in 308 participants. Structural equation modelling was conducted using STATA Version 15.
Findings
The results indicate that a framed actual self-image is a stronger predictor of changes in consumer behaviour and thus leads to the intention to visit. The introduction of co-existence provided significant insights.
Originality/value
To the best of the author’s knowledge, this is the first study to objectively test the effectiveness of a framing technique in mosque tourism and to highlight message framing as a valid marketing strategy that can enhance consumer (tourist) switching behaviour towards the intention to visit. This study adds new insights into the psychological relationships between framed actual image, framed ideal image, co-existence and intention to visit, which has implications for self-congruity theory.
