Retail Store Perceptions and Consumer Purchase Decisions
Author: Venkata Sai Srinivasa Rao Muramalla
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 1
Book Description
Keller defined the perceptions of a store as reflected by associations with the store held in the customer memory. Primary associations with a specific store could be the store's atmosphere, customer service, or location, while secondary associations could be the attitudes towards a particular brand that the store carries, perceptions about the general area in which the store is physically located, or the beliefs about a generic store category or retailing in general. In order for marketing managers to build store equity, marketing managers would need to not only create favorable, unique, and strong primary associations with the store but also evaluate and create favorable, unique, and strong secondary associations with the store. Thus, the original conceptions essentially argued that store image is a developed from consumers' objective and subjective perceptions learned over time. Consumer response to marketing is defined as consumer perceptions, preferences, and behavior arising from marketing mix activity (e.g., brand choice). Customers may exhibit a relatively negative or relatively positive perception of any specific store subjectively classified under a broader schema of the generic, yet associated, store category. Hence this paper studies all such factors influencing the consumers' perception towards a retail store. The findings and suggestions of the study offered followed by the conclusion of the study.

Online Food Shopping: Consumer perception and retailers market approach, contrasting the markets UK and Germany
Author: Marie von Breitenbuch
Publisher: GRIN Verlag
ISBN: 3638332098
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 108
Book Description
Master's Thesis from the year 2004 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 61 points (B), Bournemouth University (Business School), course: International Business Administration, language: English, abstract: The research’s aim was to contrast the retailers’ market approach and consumer perception of online food shopping in the markets Germany and UK. The first part of the research project was the review of existing literature to build up knowledge about the history and definition of the Internet and to give a market overview of Germany and the UK. The next areas investigated within the literature review were consumers’ online shopping behaviour and the food retail market. The last part was concerned with specific companies from both countries and their market approach. Research questions developed in the literature review were concerned with the food shopping behaviour and the perception of online food shopping. Additional questions were if payment security has an influence on online shopping and what other market sectors are of interest. The first part of the survey collecting quantitative data was carried out within a sample of 100 food shoppers from the UK and 100 from Germany. Questionnaires were distributed using the snowball sampling method – a method where each respondent passes the questionnaire to a number of further contacts. Interviews built the second survey part where two participants from each country were questioned in-depth about their food shopping behaviour and perceptions. The interviews backed findings from the questionnaire survey and gave further information. Quantitative data was gained and analysed by using the program SPSS. SPSS is a tool that provides the possibility to run statistical correlations between variables and provides graphical outputs to illustrate the findings. The findings show great differences in consumer perception and retailers’ market approach between Germany and the UK. While in the UK online food shopping is popular with consumers and some retailers found a way of establishing themselves in this market, German companies do not offer the service nationwide and consumers seem to have limited interest. Main reasons identified in the research lie in the differences within the economical markets and culture of the countries. The outlook in the future shows an ongoing increase in online food shopping in the UK but less activities in Germany.

New Perspectives on Retailing and Store Patronage Behavior
Author: Torben Hansen
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1402079559
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
Retailing and consumer patronage behavior constitute fascinating research areas within the field of marketing. Retailing contributes to an increasing proportion of gross national products and employment but is, however, also faced with problems and opportunities like increased product complexity, rapidly changing consumer expectations, and the introduction of new technologies. Also, consumers are facing markets of increasingly complexity when making decisions on how to conduct their behavior, primarily as a result of new technologies, shorter products life cycles in general, and higher complexity of products and services. In this book, we present and deal with various topics in relation to retailing and consumer patronage behavior. Together, these topics involve different problem settings and draw on different theories, models and statistical techniques. However, it is common to all the results presented in the following chapters (with the exception of chapter II) that they, in total or in part, rest on a major survey, which was conducted by the authors in 1999. Our now retired colleague, Hans Engstrøm participated in preparing this survey and did a great job in providing research ideas. For this, and for many stimulating discussions, we are highly grateful.
