Study Notes
Identifying Consumer Behaviour
- The article discusses identifying the ultimate psychological, social, and physical gratification that consumers derive from products, brands, etc.
Projective Techniques
- Researchers present subjects with ambiguous stimuli for open-ended responses
- Aim: To understand unconscious and instinctive dimensions of consumer behaviour
Implicit Model
- Provides both personality and identity for an object
- Examples:
- Animal photographs representing brands
- Cars representing brand image
Personification in Branding
- Using personification, respondents project a personality onto the stimulus (e.g., brand, product, company)
- This method helps attribute a personality to a brand
Case Study: Bread and Coffee Brands
- Kingsmill bread was represented by a lion and a Porsche, Morgan, Mondeo, implying high status.
- Gold Blend and Kenco coffee were both represented by the Porsche, again signifying high status.
- Mellow coffee was represented by a Mondeo, reflecting a more moderate brand image.
Data Collection: Structured Repertory Grids
- Subjects are presented with unstructured grids to describe the chosen animal photographs.
- The grids contain words and phrases like:
- Mischievous, Cunning, Aggressive, Friendly, Gentle, Common, Powerful, Wild, etc.
- This allows for a comprehensive analysis of brand personas.
Future Research
- Further research could focus on:
- Determining if the selected stimulus's unique personality aligns with the actual image consumers hold of the product.
- This could involve:
- Presenting an independent set of respondents with structured repertory grids.
- Having them select characteristics associated with a particular brand
- Comparing response profiles to determine if the brand's personality aligns with the chosen stimulus.
Global Branding Considerations
- As global markets expand, multinational companies are increasingly interested in understanding brand image across different countries.
- The article emphasizes the importance of:
- Conducting research in the appropriate countries to obtain relevant data.
- Ascribing a personality to a photograph specific to each country.
Measuring Brand Image
- The article suggests that a standardized research method is necessary to measure brand-image across different countries.
- This method should use a combination of:
- Projective techniques (like Free Association methods).
- The application of the implicit model for data interpretation.
- By examining the association of certain animal or object images with a brand across various regions, researchers can gain valuable insights into its global appeal and positioning.
