dc.description.abstractPurposeThe psychological foundations of consumers' reasons for product choices are analyzed in the field of marketing. The purpose of this research is to identify the implicit reasons for white meat consumption in the UK and Turkey.Design/methodology/approachIn the scope of the means-end chain theory, in-depth interviews were conducted with individuals, and the reasons for consumers' product preferences were revealed by moving from concrete to abstract.FindingsIt has been determined that the white meat consumption of Muslims in the UK is primarily shaped by their religious approach. In Turkey, on the contrary, both consumption patterns and reasons for preference are changing. It has been found that white meat consumption is associated with values such as security needs, satisfaction with life, self-fulfillment and happiness.Research limitations/implicationsThis research has contributed to the marketing literature by examining consumers' implicit consumption reasons for white meat in the context of religion and culture.Practical implicationsMarketing strategies should focus on building trust in halal certification, particularly in the UK. Brands should associate their promotion strategies with feelings of security and happiness, which are associated in the minds of consumers.Originality/valueThis study is a new study in terms of revealing the connotations of consumers about consuming chicken and fish and showing the implicit needs that the brands can emotionally associate with.
