Study Notes
Consumer Behavior - Personality and Lifestyle
- A consumer's personality influences how they respond to marketing. Using this information in marketing, however, often yields mixed results.
- Brands have personalities.
- Lifestyle is a pattern of consumption reflecting how someone spends time and money. These choices define consumer identity.
- Lifestyle is an attitude and way an individual interacts within society.
- Buying behavior is heavily influenced by consumer lifestyle. For example, a consumer with a healthy lifestyle will likely buy healthier foods.
- Lifestyle is defined by attitudes, interests, and opinions (AIOs).
- Attitudes reveal a consumer's work, hobbies, and entertainment preferences.
- Interests show what a consumer enjoys (e.g., food, technology, travel, sports).
- Opinions reflect a consumer's views on major issues (political, social, environmental).
- Lifestyle segmentation is used for targeting—companies tailor marketing strategies to specific lifestyle groups.
- Examples of lifestyle segmentation success are Mountain Dew, which targets adventure seekers and young adults.
Brand Personality
- Brand personality is a set of human characteristics associated with a brand.
- A strong brand's personality builds brand equity by aligning with specific consumer segments.
- Brand personality personifies a brand by giving it human qualities.
- Like humans, a brand has a voice, colors, and attributes that evoke emotions.
- Brand personality is how consumers perceive a brand (based on appearance, communication, actions).
- Brand personality influences current and future customers.
Trait Theory
- Trait theory focuses on quantifying and measuring personality traits.
- Personality traits are defining characteristics.
- Traits relevant to consumer behavior include innovativeness (trying new things), materialism (importance of acquiring goods), self-consciousness (awareness of self-image), need for cognition (enjoying thinking), and frugality (making due with existing goods).
Big Five Personality
- The Big Five (or Neo-Personality Inventory) is a widely used personality assessment.
- It measures five dimensions: openness to experience, conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism (emotional stability).
- Each dimension has descriptive characteristics and examples.
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)
- The MBTI, based on Jung's work, is another widely used personality test.
- It categorizes people into 16 types based on dimensions: focus of attention (introversion/extroversion), information processing (sensing/intuition), decision-making (thinking/feeling), and interacting with the world (judging/perceiving) .
Product Complementarity and Co-Branding Strategies
- Co-branding involves two or more brands combining to market a product or service.
- Product complementarity is when symbolic meanings of products relate, and increased demand for one product leads to greater demand for a complementary product.
- For example, increased demand for cell phones leads to greater demand for chargers.
- Product complementarity and co-branding both consider pricing.
Lifestyle and Consumer Identity
- Lifestyle is a pattern of consumption reflecting consumer choices on how to spend time and money; these choices are pivotal for defining consumer identity.
- The buying behavior is highly influenced by the lifestyle of a consumer.
- Examples of successful lifestyle segmentation are using Mountain Dew marketing targeted to thrill-seekers.
