Description of what to do
 
  • Fundamentally the purpose of the project is to allow you to understand the main Learning Objectives of the course in a practical way so you can see how they apply to a company trying to have a better understanding of Consumer Behaviour so they can be more effective in their
    • Marketing Mix (which you learned in MRK106)
      • 1. Product / Branding
      • 2. Price (Pricing Objectives)
      • 3. Promotion
        • Mass Selling
          • Advertising
          • Publicity
            • Viral Marketing and 
            • Social Media
        • Sales Promotion
        • Personal Selling
      • 4. Place
        • Locations and Distribution
  • And - it is understood that the things that effect Consumer Baviour can be categorized according to the 6 Environments (which you learned in BAM101). So when you do this project, one of the things that should be done by someone in the group is discuss how your situation is effected by the current circumstances of those 6Es'
      • 1. Political Environment - laws, rules and regulations
      • 2. Economic Environment - income, currency exchange rate, cost of living expenses, wages
      • 3. Social Cultural Environment - languages, cultural influences, lifestyles
      • 4. Technology Environment - access to communications (WiFi), how technology allows consumers to make decisions
      • 5. Geographic Environment - weather, sunset/sunrise patterns, travel conditions
      • 6. Competitive Environment - competition from similar vendors, competition from unlikely sources

      •  
  • What you will do is .... pick a company, and a specific product / service marketed by the company, and discuss what things about Consumer Behaviour the company needs to understand to be effective
  • Basically, you look at most (not all) of the main topics discussed ib the course, and comment on how you think the company is doing well, or poorly, at that particular point, and, what they might improve on
    • for example in Chpt 2..Hedonic Value - you might comment on how the company has been really good, or poorly, at allowing customers to get some immediate "gratification" from using the product - better than the competition (you can deduce this from user comments in various online forums and FB user groups
    • for example in Chpt 2..Segmentation - you might comment on how the company has been really good, or poorly, at creating sizes and colours and features of their product to fit the segmentation they chose
    • for example, in chpt 3..Factors that get Attention - you might comment on how the company is great at creating in the consumer's mind an understanding of how their advertising is great at getting attention through using Movement Stimuli
