It contains the most current bibliography of an expanding literature, an exhaustive index, and extensive cross references. This much anticipated update of the field's most authoritative resource will take its place as an indispensable reference for specialists and non-specialists across a broad range of disciplines that now comprise the field of aging.

The results confirmed that retail service quality has significant positive influence on customer satisfaction, and the positive effect of customer satisfaction on customer loyalty. Besides, the study verified store ethnicity and price discounts acted as moderating mechanism for explaining the switching intentions of satisfied and loyal customers. The results serve as a guideline for top managers of the hypermarkets to design appropriate policies and strategies in terms of retail service quality, price discounts and identifying the needs of ethnic groups in a particular region. This will help to enhance customer satisfaction and customer loyalty hence reducing switching intentions of customers.

Download or read book Boomer Marketing written by Ian Chaston and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-06-08 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baby boomers (consumers in the 50+ age bracket) are the wealthiest, fastest growing consumer group in the world. Despite this, the vast majority of marketing spend is focused on much younger people. Recessions always dampen consumer spending, but in the 21st century’s first recession, the decline in spending among the younger age group has been amplified by excessive borrowing and collapsing house prices. More so than ever before, the current global recession highlights the need for firms to revise their marketing strategies and practices in order to remain competitive. In this book, Ian Chaston uses original case material to propose strategic solutions that take advantage of the moneyed segments of the maturing boomer market. Key topics covered include: Marketing errors made by UK banks in the current global crisis Market research Customer targeting Marketing strategies and pricing innovation Promotion and distribution A world first, Boomer Marketing is useful for students of marketing and consumer behaviour and is essential reading for practitioners who understand the need for money-oriented marketing.

Download or read book The Aging Consumer written by Aimee Drolet and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Aging Consumer: Perspectives from Psychology and Marketing, 2nd edition takes stock of what is known around age and consumer behavior, identifies gaps and open questions within the research, and outlines an agenda for future research. There has been little systematic research done with respect to the most basic questions related to age and consumer behavior, such as whether older adults versus young and middle-age adults respond to marketing activities including pricing, promotions, product design, and distribution. Written by experts, The Aging Consumer compiles research on a broad range of topics on consumer marketing, from an individual to a societal level of analysis. This second edition provides new versions of chapters contained in the 2010 volume that have been updated to reflect the latest psychological and marketing research and thinking. Included also are ten new chapters which cover exciting new ground, such as changes in metacognition in older adults, motivated cognition of the aging consumer, and a global perspective on aging and the economy across cultures. This updated volume is beneficial for researchers and practitioners in marketing, consumer behavior, and advertising. Additionally, The Aging Consumer, 2nd edition will appeal to professionals in other fields such as psychology, decision sciences, gerontology and gerontological social work, and those who are concerned with normal human aging and its implications for the everyday behavior of older individuals. It will also be of interest to those in fields concerned with the societal implications of an aging population, such as economics, policy, and law.
Download or read book Direct Marketing Direct Selling and the Mature Consumer written by James R. Lumpkin and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1989-04-17 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reports and interprets the results of a major research study that investigated the shopping behavior of the mature consumer with regard to the principal types of direct response marketing: catalog shopping, direct mail, media ads, telephone solicitation, direct selling, party-plan selling, and in-home demonstrations. Sponsored by the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) and the Andrus Foundation, the project represents the most thorough treatment of the older consumer published to date. Marketing managers, direct marketing specialists, and retailers will find here the data they need to make informed decisions and develop appropriate marketing strategies for reaching a growing, and often relatively affluent, segment of the U.S. consumer population. The study was based on an 8-page questionnaire to which more than 2500 subjects nationwide responded and which yielded information on respondents' willingness to purchase from various direct sources, actual purchase behavior, preferences for purchasing from direct sources, likes and dislikes about in-home shopping, and the characteristics that influence purchasing decisions. The authors also compared shopping behaviors and attitudes of older consumers with younger groups and analyzed differences on the basis of demographic and psychological variables. A wide range of practical findings issued from the study, including the fact that many mature consumers associate high pressure sales tactics with in-home shopping and evince a high degree of distrust of direct selling techniques. In the final chapter, the authors present practical recommendations for formulating and maintaining a marketplace offering that is satisfying to the mature shopper. Numerous tables and figures illustrate the statistical conclusions drawn from the study.

Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Introduction: 1.1, Problem Statement: It is a widely spread fact that everybody wants to become old but the fewest want to be old. But it is also a fact that we cannot stop the age. It may exist ways and means to keep your mental and physical skills in a good shape but with every day we will become older one day anyway. The only alternative of getting older by the way doesn t seem to be much tempting why people accept the tide someday. What in this case only is concerning the single one also applies to whole societies. Tomorrow everybody will be older, the group of the over 50s is continuously increasing. So the aged will become more, but will they also become older mental or physically as a consequence? Nowadays, an increasingly number of seniors is more healthy and powerful than their parent generation. And they are highly attractive for companies but were disregarded for a long time when for example addressing advertisements. May it be because they are seen as less open for new products or due to the fact that they are supposed to show less involvement when confronted with advertisement. The reasons are multifarious. But the same as our society will continuously change the over 50s have also changed in their behavior. Companies haven t dealt with the over 50s as a target group for a long period of time. Older people are often associated with gridlocked habits and a certain rejection to new things like already mentioned. But is this true? Do they act or react different due to their age than their younger counterparts? Are the above mentioned prejudices in fact only the opinion of some companies? This questions need to be answered especially when regarding the society change creeping over us. 1.2, Terminologies: All relevant terms concerning the title of this thesis will be explained in the following chapters. For example, the meaning of innovation is explained in chapter 4 Innovativeness and the meaning of consumer good will be explained in chapter about 3 Consumer Behavior . The idea behind this is to guarantee that the words are understood when they are needed in a logical way. 1.3, Goals and Structure of the Thesis: This thesis aims to answer several questions. First, the reader should get a feeling for the socio-demographic change we are facing in Germany and the consequential change not only for our society but also for our economy. In the following, it should be understood the over 50s main characteristics, how they [...]
