Download or read book Consuming Experience written by Antonella Caru and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers the ‘hot topic’ of the experiential consumption in an accessible manner and from a unique industry perspective which is not used in any other book. It highlights the idea that an experience is not something that can be readily managed by firms and is not limited to the market: an individual’s daily life is made up of consuming experiences that can occur with or without a market relation. Offering an overview of the consumption experience, it outlines a continuum of experiences of consumption that consumers go through, including: those that are mainly constructed by consumers around small items that comprise their daily life, such as organic products and non-profit or local associations those that have been co-developed by companies and consumers: tourism or adventure projects, rock concerts and cultural events those that have been largely developed by the companies where consumers are immersed in a hyper-real context such as fashion, sports brands, edutainment and retail. Broad and comprehensive, this book provides a challenging vision of the consumption experience, which is an invaluable tool for all those studying marketing and consumer behaviour.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in cooperation with the Association for Consumer Research "A clearly written and useful work. Their book lays out organizing principles that delineate the underlying epistemologies current in consumer research, providing insightful exposure to philosophical positions and associated research methods for both the experienced researcher and the novice. . . . The book provides insight into current epistemologies and associated methods and is an important resource for all consumer behavior researchers. It should be taken as a starting point for delving into and understanding consumer research, a springboard that directs the researcher to relevant theorists and provides a framework for assessing research perspectives." --Journal of Marketing Research The methodological choices now confronting consumer researchers are daunting. For many years, researchers have wrestled with issues related to the nature of knowledge in the study of consumption phenomena. In Postmodern Consumer Research, Elizabeth C. Hirschman and Morris B. Holbrook examine philosophies and methods of consumer research along an objectivist-subjectivist continuum. First, they present philosophical concepts regarding the origin and content of knowledge relevant to consumer-behavior phenomena. Then, they consider a set of research methods aimed at implementing inquiry from the viewpoint of each particular philosophical perspective. They conclude by discussing criteria for evaluating research conducted using the various methods and argue for increased collegial harmony and temperance. An invaluable contribution to the field, this volume will interest researchers, professionals, and students in the areas of management, qualitative research, organizational studies, and research methods.

Download or read book Consumer Value written by Morris Holbrook and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-03-11 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As shoppers, what factors influence our decision to purchase an object or service? Why do we chose one product over another? How do we attribute value as part of the shopping experience? The theme of 'serving' the customer and customer satisfaction is central to every formulation of the marketing concept, yet few books attenpt to define and analyse exactly what it is that consumers want. In this provocative collection of essays, Morris Holbrook brings together a team of the top US and European scholars to discuss an issue of great importance to the study of marketing and consumer behaviour. This ground-breaking, interdisciplinary book provides an innovative framework for the study of consumer value which is used to critically examine the nature and type of value that consumers derive from the consumption experience - effiency, excellence, status, esteem, play, aesthetics, ethics, spirituality. Guaranteed to provoke debate and controversy, this is a courageous, individualistic and idiosyncratic book which should appeal to students of marketing, consumer behaviour, cultural studies and consumption studies.

Download or read book CONSUMER BEHAVIOR written by Prabhu TL and published by NestFame Creations Pvt Ltd.. This book was released on with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consumer behavior refers to the activities and decision-making processes of people who buy goods and services for their own use. Consumer buying behavior is the study of consumers' actions when selecting whether to purchase a good that meets their needs. It is an investigation into how customers behave and what motivates them to purchase and use particular goods. The study of consumer purchasing behavior is crucial for marketers because it helps them comprehend what customers anticipate from them. Understanding what prompts a consumer to purchase a product is useful. In order to introduce a product to the market, it is critical to determine the kind of products that buyers want. Marketers can comprehend what consumers enjoy and detest so they may create their marketing strategies accordingly. Consumer buying behavior examines a variety of situations, including what customers purchase, why they purchase it, when they purchase it, how frequently they purchase it, and many other factors. Consumer researchers, for instance, study consumer purchasing patterns with the goal of understanding why women purchase moisturizer's (to reduce skin problems), the most preferred brand (Olay, L'Oréal), how frequently they use it (twice daily, thrice daily), where they prefer to purchase it (supermarkets, online), and how frequently they do so (weekly, monthly). It's instructive to hear some of the first-cut consumer thoughts on Vocally about what people think about various brands and what they anticipate from electronic devices and gadgets.

Each part examines the relationship between consumer behaviour and motivation, including well-being, gender, social class, and more, and concludes with practitioner perspectives on the challenges and opportunities that come with understanding customers. Readers will gain insight into how drives that are constantly in flux relate to other aspects of human cognition and behavior, allowing them to reach customers successfully, and to meet their needs.

Download or read book Experiential Marketing written by Wided Batat and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-01-28 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do some brands make us feel good, while others frustrate us? What makes us engage with certain brands, rebuy the same products, return to the same store or revisit the same destination over and over again? Is there a framework underlying how past and lived shopping experiences can affect our future experiences, our buying decisions, and our brand loyalty? In this exciting new book, Wided Batat introduces readers to the new customer experience framework and the era of the "Experiential Marketing Mix." She introduces the concept of the 7Es (Experience, Exchange, Extension, Emphasis, Empathy, Emotional touchpoints, Emic/Etic process); a tool that focuses on the consumer as a starting point in marketing strategies. By using these, companies can design suitable, emotional, and profitable customer experiences in a phygital context (physical place and digital space) including both offline and online digital experiences. Batat argues that a traditional product-centric should be replaced by the appropriate mix of 7Es, based upon a more consumer/experience-centric logic. Experiential Marketing is a guide to building experiences consumers cannot forget. It will be of interest for CEOs, brand managers, marketing and communication professionals, students, and anyone eager to learn more about how to design the ultimate customer experience in a new phygital. In this book, Professor Batat combines theory and practice and gives readers an overview of: the origins and the rise of the customer experience logic, the 7Es of the new experiential marketing mix, and the challenges for the future.
