Consumer behavior refers to how individuals, groups, or organizations select, purchase, use and dispose of products and services to satisfy needs and wants. A positioning strategy is when a company focuses on key areas to excel in order to compete, such as quality, cost or service. There are two types of consumer behavior: complex buying involves expensive purchases with research, while habitual buying has little involvement like grocery shopping. Retaining existing customers is important because it is less costly than acquiring new customers, allows ongoing value provision, and can generate referrals and positive word-of-mouth. The marketing mix elements are product, price, place, promotion, and people - referring respectively to the goods or services offered, pricing strategy, distribution channels, communication

1. Discuss what is meant by consumer behaviour from your opinion.
Consumer behaviour is the study of how individual customers, groups or organizations select, buy, use, and dispose ideas, goods, and services to satisfy their needs and wants. 2. Discuss what is meant by a “positioning strategy” and give a specific business example using this concept. A positioning strategy is when a company chooses one or two important key areas to concentrate on and excels in those areas. A firm's positioning strategy focuses on how it will compete in the market. An effective positioning strategy considers the strengths and weaknesses of the organization, the needs of the customers and market and the position of competitors. The purpose of a positioning strategy is that it allows a company to spotlight specific areas where they can outshine and beat their competition. Let's examine the requirements needed for a company to compete in the following areas: quality, cost, flexibility, speed, innovation and service. We will take a look at different manufacturing and service companies to identify examples for each and how they use their positioning strategy from an operational standpoint. 3. Discuss the two types of consumer behaviour categories. Complex buying behaviour This type of behaviour is encountered when consumers are buying an expensive, infrequently bought product. They are highly involved in the purchase process and consumers’ research before committing to a high-value investment. Imagine buying a house or a car; these are an example of a complex buying behaviour. Habitual buying behaviour Habitual purchases are characterized by the fact that the consumer has very little involvement in the product or brand category. Imagine grocery shopping: you go to the store and buy your preferred type of bread. You are exhibiting a habitual pattern, not strong brand loyalty. 4. Discuss why customer retention is so important to maintain relationship with an existing customers compared to finding a new customer. Acquiring new customers is a driving force that motivates all companies, but it's not without its limitations. For a business to thrive, it must eventually shift its focus to retaining the customers it's acquired rather than only landing new ones. A client or customer who stays with your company over time gives you the chance to provide more ongoing value, develop more personalized content, nurture a brand advocate, gain referrals, and earn positive word-of-mouth marketing. All of this is in addition to the fact that it costs less to retain an existing customer than it does to acquire a new one, making it a smart move for your customers and your bottom line to keep current customers coming back. 5. Give an example that would describe each of the elements of the marketing mix. The elements of a marketing mix are the aspects of marketing that a business will leverage to promote its goods or services. There are five elements to consider: product, price, place, promotion, and people. Learn more about how these elements can help enhance the effectiveness of a business's marketing effort. Product These are the products or services you offer to your customers, including their physical attributes, what they do, how they differ from your competitors, and what benefits they provide. Price This element concerns how you price your product or service. A well-balanced price allows you to remain competitive while still creating a good level of profit. Place This is where your business sells its products or services and how it gets those products or services to your customers. It's also known as "distribution." Promotion These are the methods you use to communicate the features and benefits of your products or services to your target customers. People The "people" in this category aren't your customers, but your co-workers, colleagues, and yourself. This refers to how your level of service and the expertise provided by the people who work for you that can be used to set you apart from your competitors.
