Study Notes

Consumer Behaviour Introduction

  • Marketing is a social science, not rocket science
  • It's complex and difficult to predict consumer behaviour
  • One-to-one relationships between processes and outcomes aren't guaranteed, luck plays a role
  • Marketing involves creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings of value for customers, clients, partners, and society.
  • Value creation is for customers, stakeholders, and firms (good products, best possible, quality, price, brand name, marketing pieces of information).
  • Online is key now, focus on immediate observable product qualities, not just brand and social influences.
  • Value comes from both product engineering and marketing.

Correlation and User Ratings

  • Evaluate product safety by simulating crashes with dummies.
  • Data collection from various product categories
  • Measurement instruments assess objective product performance.
  • High positive correlation between user ratings and quality.
  • Zero correlation means no relationship between ratings and quality.
  • Negative correlation indicates lower quality with higher user ratings
  • Correlation between star rating and performance matters, but is not always 100%. Correlation coefficients (e.g. 0.99, 0.71, 0.16) give the degree of relationship.
  • If star rating difference is less than .20, there is a 50% chance the higher-ranked product is better. If the difference is less than .40, the higher-ranked product is likely better 70% of the time.

Consumer Perceptions and Experiments

  • Consumer perception is influenced by factors like models and comments, especially influenced by "influencer" information.
  • Wine tasting experiments: Sampling preferences vary even if the wine is the same (different order and presentation). Consumer preference correlation exists with price for some types of wine.
  • Consumer willingness to pay: Willingness to pay is higher with larger ounces of product even if the contents are similar. The perception of packaging and product quality can impact price.

Social Market Experiments

  • Social market A (1000 consumers): Record how much people listen to certain songs, observing how much other people listen to said songs.
  • Social market B (1000 consumers): Follow the procedure described for market A.
  • Ranking each song by market and comparing correlations gives a consistency measure. The market with the highest correlation (consistency) indicates which consumers rate popularity most congruently with each other.

Value for Consumers and Firms

  • Consumer perspective: value = benefits for consumers
  • Firm perspective: Value = consumers pay more than product cost.
  • Value is a function of the marketing mix (product, promotion, price, place). Firm value = creating value for consumers.
  • High-value customers are those who provide value to the firm through life-time sales, not necessarily higher spending consumers in the short term.

Egocentrism and Perspective-Taking

  • Company view of product is egocentric, doesn't equal customer perspective.
  • Consumers' desires and needs are different from what a company believes they want.
  • Understanding customer value is crucial for success. Companies must consider and address customer needs, desires, perceptions accurately.
  • Perspective taking and understanding the viewpoints of others (collaborators and consumers) are important in business.

Effectiveness of Online Advertising

  • Advertising is effective differently across categories (e.g. search vs. display ads).
  • Offline effects influence purchasing decisions more than expected, especially during specific times (holidays).
  • Casual connections without causation, don't assume one aspect leads to another, look for other variables.

Correlation Vs. Causation

  • Correlation does not equal causation, there are many third factors at play. (Example: Warm weather and ice cream sales, which are both affected by a third factor).
  • Marketing success does not always determine sales success, one can be correlated but not always causative.
