Abstract
The need for a scale to measure the brand equity of online retail services (ORS) was addressed by [7] when they developed a reliable and valid scale to measure ORS brand equity. However, in one of the limitations of their study, they had mentioned about the sample respondents being a part of an online reward scheme, which led to “higher involvement with online shopping than the average online consumer.” The present study tries to validate the scale developed by [7] and tries to contribute to marketing literature in two ways. It has used general online consumer to test the dimensions of the ORS scale. Since the sample was collected from a developing nation where online shopping was less frequent, it also tried to identify the presence of differences that occurred in consumer perceptions. Keywords: Online Shopping, ORS Scale, India, Measurement.
