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.
