Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2011 in the subject Business economics - Marketing, Corporate Communication, CRM, Market Research, Social Media, grade: 1.0, Thames Valley University, London, language: English, abstract: This dissertation is a study in the area of e-commerce. The aim of this study was to examine the adoption of online shopping and online shopping for clothing in particular and factors influencing the intention to purchase clothing online. A quantitative research method was used and a questionnaire designed on the website www.surveymonkey.com and then distributed by sending out the link leading to the survey via facebook and emails. 94 useful questionnaires were gathered from female and male UK students. SPSS 17 was used to analyse the collected data by conducting chi-square tests and Spearman's rho correlation tests to examine the relation between different variables. The constructs of the technology acceptance model (TAM) were used as a framework and basis for this research and were extended by further constructs. Therefore, the impact of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, prior online shopping experience, perceived risk and product involvement on the intention to purchase clothing online was analysed. Perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and prior online shopping experience had positive effects on the intention to purchase clothing online. Perceived risk had a negative effect on the intention to purchase clothing online. These findings supported the hypotheses. Other than hypothesised, clothing product involvement did not have a significant positive effect on the intention to purchase clothing online.

Book excerpt: The US bridal industry has grown over the last 80 years to become a multibillion dollar industry. Surprisingly, little research has been conducted concerning the consumer behavior of brides. The bride is in a situation where purchase decisions need to be made. She has many things she will purchase over the course of the engagement. But the shopping situation is unique in regards to the budget, if there is one, as well as the fantasy involved in the purchase of a wedding gown. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the consumer behavior of brides who were shopping for their wedding gowns. This study used Fishbein's Theory of Reasoned Action as a theoretical framework to study how attitude, subjective norm and perceived playfulness affected the behavioral results, store satisfaction and purchase intention. Consumer involvement and consumer shopping motivations were examined as moderating variables in the relationships between attitude and store satisfaction and perceived playfulness and store satisfaction. Based on previous literature, hypotheses were developed concerning the relationships among these variables. It was hypothesized that attitude, subjective norm, and perceived playfulness would all be positively related to store satisfaction. It was also hypothesized that store satisfaction would be positively related to purchase intention. Consumer involvement was hypothesized to be a moderating variable for both the attitude to store satisfaction relationship as well as the perceived playfulness relationship. Likewise, consumer shopping motivations (utilitarian vs. hedonic) were hypothesized to be a moderating variable for both the attitude to store satisfaction relationship as well as the perceived playfulness relationship. This study utilized survey methods to assess the shopping behavior of brides shopping for their wedding gown. All scales were adopted from existing literature and reliabilities of scales were established. Surveys were conducted in a store intercept format at three different area bridal retailers over a 12 week period of time. A total of 72 brides participated in the survey. Regression statistics were used to analyze the data. To look at the relationships between attitude, subjective norm, and perceived playfulness and store satisfaction a stepwise multiple regression was conducted. Attitude was found to be a significant, positive predictor of store satisfaction. The results from a simple regression show that the relationship between store satisfaction and purchase intention was significant and positive. Finally, a nested regression was used to analyze the moderating relationships of consumer involvement and consumer shopping motivations. Consumer involvement was found to be a significant moderator of the attitude - store satisfaction relationship. All other hypothesized relationships were not found to be significant. The results of this study show that bridal store managers need to be concerned with how their customers perceive their store, as store satisfaction is a significant predictor of purchase intention. In order for the store to maintain or increase sales, bridal customers need to be happy with the store they are shopping at. The results also show that brides differ on how involved they feel in the bridal gown shopping process. This in turn affected their attitude toward shopping and their store satisfaction. Managers need to make sure they are helping to encourage realistic expectations on the part of the bride, in order to keep the level of satisfaction with their store high. The findings from this study that can be directly applied in a managerial sense are limited. Future research is needed to discover exactly what aspects are important to brides as they shop in order to be more helpful to store owners and managers.

Book excerpt: This particular research is aimed at finding the marketing implication of influence of social class on consumer behavior for Sainsbury. Social classes differ in respect of behaviors, attitudes, and preferences. To investigate the consumer behavior and social class relationship, triangulation methodology has been adopted. A sample of 75 consumers of Sainsbury has been selected through convenience sampling. A questionnaire has been designed to collect data from sample. The findings showed that most of the respondents belonged to middle and lower social classes. The research found that middle and lower classes spend major part of their income on food and necessities of life whereas upper class spends its income on luxuries. It has been found that upper class uses internet for getting information about products and services of Sainsbury. Middle class uses televisions and newspaper for getting information about products and services of company. Upper class has more intentions of online shopping as compared to other classes. Upper classes have more attitude of investing in profitable projects. It has been found that lower and middle classes use credit cards for shopping and take bank loans for fulfilling their needs. Marketers can identify needs and preferences of different social classes from results of this particular research. Research has been limited to the findings only which have been collected from a small sample.
