Consumer who? Consumer you!

 

  • What type of consumer are you?

    I am definitely and overindulgent consumer. Despite being knowledgeable in marketing tactics, I often fall victim to simple schemes to get me to buy products. I love buying products and services, and get a huge serotonin rush when completing transactions. I don’t put a considerable amount of thought into things before I buy, I’m all about the instant gratification. 


  • What influences your buying decisions, and how?

    I tend to buy things based on physical aesthetics. I am a very eyes on consumer and would rather buy the prettier option most of the time. When it comes to more expensive purchases, however, I am more likely to pay attention to specific features of things. 


  • When making a buying decision, how are you influenced by marketing research and marketing design?

    Admittedly, I do not pay a great deal of attention to the marketing of most products in depth. However, I am easily swayed by visually appealing eye catching ads, especially when scrolling through social media. 


  • Do you experience any post-purchase behavior?

    I tend to be very loyal to the brands that I purchase. Once I have a good experience with one product or service from a brand, I will go out of my way to find other items by the company to purchase as well.

I sit here typing this as I am drinking a Diet Coke, very clearly on one side of the fence versus the other.  What is the brand strategy being used by the top dog? What is the brand strategy being used by the underdog? Coca Cola has long been a brand that embraces it's logo and iconography as a brand to sell it's product. It's marketing characters are often cartoons, such as their iconic polar bear. While Pepsi, has been a brand synonymous with the celebrity endorsement from legends such as Michael Jackson to more recent celebs like Kendall Jenner.  How can the underdog improve its strategy so that it can gain more market share and surpass the top dog? Provide three recommendations. While answering the previous question, I knew I wanted to address Kendall Jenner in a way that really discussed how Pepsi can be so obsessed with celebrity, ...

Effectively Impacting the Consumer Through Digital Media

  What was done successfully to meet the wants and needs of the target audience?          The voice uses various opportunities to connect with fans of the show through social media. Their engagement with voting, the "Instant Save", personal content for fans, and many others keeps viewers of the show feeling as if they are a part of the action.

Marketing Perspective

What do you notice about this type of marketing?          Marketing with influencers depends on a consumer's trust in an individual's self made brand. Using influencers to promote products and services has a personal touch to it, where the audience feels like they're being recommended something by a close friend. This intimate type of marketing relies on interpersonal connections between the influencer and their audience. What strategies are they employing?          In particular, with Logan Paul, the marketing strategy here is to simply allow Logan to be himself. He uses his millennial sense of humor and personality to appeal to his young audience, and often adlibs his ads. His personality is what sells the product, not necessarily the pitch. What role do these influencers play in marketing?         Influencers are undoubtedly one of the most effective marketing strategies for companies hoping to reach a yo...
