Installments, Social Networks, and Tarot Card Spreads: How Loyalty Support Strategies Work in the Modern Digitalized Russian Esoteric Market
International Journal for the Study of New Religions. 2025. Vol. 14. No. 2. P. 175–202.
This study identifies strategies for maintaining consumer loyalty among esoteric specialists in Russia’s digital market. Employing a mixed-method approach, we conducted 20 semi-structured interviews with online esoteric practitioners and analyzed 150 Telegram channels (50 each for tarologists, magicians, and astrologers) between March and May 2024. Thematic coding and quantitative content analysis were used to examine loyalty strategies. Results indicate that specialists employ two main approaches: increasing customer engagement through profitable deals, multi-channel communication, personalization, and image-making; and creating value for clients by offering referral programs, client communities, webinars, live broadcasts, esoteric courses, and feedback mechanisms. Notably, webinars and live broadcasts are utilized as part of broader strategies to deepen client engagement and foster community, rather than as standalone tactics. This research highlights how digitalization reshapes loyalty strategies in the esoteric services market, emphasizing the importance of both engagement and value creation.

The authors of the article oppose the expert mainstream, which is based on methodological individualism and reduces social well-being to the standard of living, education, and freedom of individuals. Mainstream measurements do not consider historically established communities as subjects of development, and therefore do not notice the obvious paradox: maximizing what is commonly considered to ...

В статье предпринята попытка аналитической классификации социологических теоретико-методологических подходов к исследованию дисциплинарных границ науки. Отправной точкой служит прагматическая проблема исследователя в области социологии науки и научного знания: отсутствие явного мета-теоретического основания для выбора конкретного подхода к изучению границ дисциплин, которые соответственно лишает производимую аналитику методологической прозрачности и теоретической последовательности. В качестве инструмента классификации используется аналитическая ...

This article addresses a methodological contradiction that arises when attempting to in- corporate artificial intelligence (AI) into qualitative sociological research grounded in the in- terpretivist paradigm. While in quantitative research, AI, at least at first glance, seamlessly fits into the natural-scientific ideal of “instrumental distancing”, for the qualitative tradition, which demands contextual sensitivity and proximity ...

The issue of adolescent values is becoming increasingly important. Value orientations largely determine a teenager’s life position and worldview. Research into the values that are significant for schoolchildren requires consideration of the agerelated changes that occur in their value-moral sphere during the transition from early to late adolescence. Puberty is particularly significant, as processes related ...

Venezuela is widely regarded as one of the most politically divided nations in Latin America. However, the mechanisms through which political polarisation facilitated the emergence of authoritarian rule under Hugo Chávez and later Nicolás Maduro remain insufficiently specified. This article develops an account of polarisation-driven autocratisation in Venezuela and examines how elite and mass polarisation ...

На сегодняшний день в медицине принято объяснять психическую патологию с позиции так называемого биопсихосоциального подхода, совмещающего в себе биологические факты, психологические концепции и представления о социальных процессах, влияющих на течение болезней. Несмотря на то что подобная дисциплинарная эклектика не раз подвергалась критике со стороны как медицины и психиатрии, так и социальных наук, реплики в настоящей ...

As the negative socio-economic consequences of climate change increase, attention to adaptation issues is growing worldwide. Currently, most of the adaptation measures are reactive and not very large-scale. The more ambitious approach to climate change adaptation is evident in the idea of "transformational adaptation," which is gaining growing interest in both academic discussions and international ...

Developments across it increasingly reshape political, economic and social relations far beyond its borders. Understanding these dynamics is therefore both intellectually urgent and analytically demanding, requiring an interdisciplinary approach capable of moving beyond established categories and fragmented national perspectives.

В обзоре интеллектуальное наследие В.И. Вернадского (1863-1945) рассматривается в контексте зарубежных инвайронментальных исследований (преимущественно на материале англоязычных публикаций двух последних десятилетий). Реконструируются ключевые идейные истоки мировоззрения Вернадского: влияние В.В. Докучаева, русского космизма и концепции ноосферы П. Тейяра де Шардена. Анализируются понятия научной системы Вернадского - «живое вещество», «биосфера» и «ноосфера»; прослеживается их рецепция в современных ...
