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.

Pinterest serves as a huge inspiration for a lot of my crafts, as I can be found crocheting or working with other medium during any given time. Having the ability to connect with people who share my interests on a daily basis keeps my creative juices flowing!

Top Dog Versus Underdog

 Tale as old as time, Coke versus Pepsi. The dreaded question, when you order one drink, and the waiter asks if the other brand is okay. 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?
