This paper aims to explore customers’ perceptions associated with smart services and products and the role marketing communication plays to improve these perceptions. The key research questions are: (1) How do consumers psychologically respond to smart services and products? (2) How may a transparency-oriented marketing communication steer those consumers’ perceptions? To address these questions, the authors build a conceptual model that is based on the net valence theory.
