Cet article met en évidence un champ d'investigation rarement abordé en marketing : l'influence de l'anxiété face à la mort sur le comportement du consommateur. A partir des nombreuses investigations réalisées sur ce thème en psychologie, nous définirons tout d'abord le concept d'anxiété face à la mort. Nous analyserons ensuite les différentes variables pouvant l'affecter et les comportements adaptatifs. Une présentation de différentes implications possibles sur le comportement du consommateur sera alors envisagée. Nous proposerons en outre des exemples d'utilisation managériale et des voies de recherche futures.
