Consumer Behavior

- Overview

 The most complex puzzle for any brand is to understand how their customers
make a buying decision. Do they make decisions consciously based on facts,
reason and logic? Or Do they make decisions unconsciously based on emotions,
feelings and intuitions?
 In this age of rapidly changing technology either you have to adapt the
change with time or you fail. Those who refuse to improve become
redundant and irrelevant to the industry one day.
 This case study talks about how fairly large marketing mistakes of big
brands leaded to their devastation. If we come to seek examples there are
many, yet here we have picked up 3 known names, Kingfisher, Kodak and
Nokia, whose stories are mere enough to let you know the failure reasons.

 Slumdog Millionaire is the story of Jamal Malik (Patel), an 18 year-old
orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the
biggest day of his life. With the whole nation watching, he is just one
question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India¹s
"Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?“

 Slumdog Millionaire, British dramatic film, released in 2008 and directed by 


Danny Boyle, that won eight Academy Awards, including those for best picture
and best director, as well as several BAFTA awards and Golden Globe Awards,
including those for best film and best director.
 And Slumdog could hardly be more cross-cultural: showing different religions,
castes and creeds. Also it shows the divide between rich and poor which exists in
India.
Diversity in India

 India is a state of diverse cultures, religions, traditions and


beliefs. The country is home to millions of people who exhibit
diversity in their thoughts, lifestyles, worship and work.

 The dance, language and food of its 28 states and Union


Territories differ distinctively from each other.
 Bisleri Pop
 The mineral water giant launched soft drinks in various flavours such as Pina
Colada, Spyci, Limonata, Fonzo but died due to lack of acceptance from the
audience.
  Taxi4Sure
 Acquired by Ola, India’s largest taxi aggregator Taxi4sure was shut down due to
poor market conditions. 
 Kizashi
 Manufactured by the Japanese automaker Suzuki, the car died a not too slow
death for being overpriced. 
  Volkswagen Beetle
 With an expensive price tag, the overpriced car failed the Indian market with a
sale of only 500 cars.
 The Tata product is the perfect example for marketing gone wrong. While the
car was indeed a remarkable innovation, it being marketed as the “Cheapest car
of the nation” backfired. 
Pepsi blind test conducted by montague in 2004
To no one’s surprise, coca cola

If people prefer the taste of pepsi than why coke?


 There was a study in 2004 that shows how CocaCola’s marketing has marked our
brains with emotions. These emotions involved good thoughts, positive feelings
and great memories. 
 In this study, volunteers were asked to drink either Coke or Pepsi. 
 So, this study shows us the unconscious changes in our brains when we think of
popular brands like CocaCola. It shows the changes in our brain when we think
about the brands with whom we are connected. This study also demonstrates that
how our thoughts, feelings and memories can unconsciously change our
experience with the decision making of a product.
Neuro marketing

 Marketing has moved beyond the concept of identification of needs


- subconscious decision making
If I ask you who is your favourite hero, you may say – Sharukh khan but on cross
questioning – Amir Khan?
1)Has it ever happened – Shopping list – discount offer on tide –
2) McDonald – Happy meal offer
3) Laptop
So does a customer know his mind?
Resources used -

1. Functional magnetic Response Imaging

To measure specific types of brain activities in response to advertising message

The pepsi challenge gave neuro marketing a greater publicity and now all big
companies like nestle, P & G and GM are trying to study the intricacies of cb based
on FMRI

So the premise is simple. Consumers can lie but algorithms don’t. It says 95% of all
thought occurs in our subconscious mind.
Neuro Marketing

• Neuro marketing is the branch of neuroscience research


that aims to better understand the consumer through his
cognitive processes

the advertising world” (Thomson, 2003)

Classification of Neuro Marketing Tools


Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(fMRI)

• It allows measuring brain activity while subjects


perform certain tasks or experience marketing stimuli,
searching for patterns
Electroencephalography
(EEG)
• EEG measures electric product of the brain activity,
when brain undergoes any stimulus.
• A number of electrodes (up to 256) are placed on the
scalp of the subjects, in certain areas, in order to
measure and record the electricity for that certain spot.
What is neuro marketing?

 Formal study of brain’s responses to advertising and branding and adjustment of


those messages to get a better response.
EEG Headsets
Process of Learning

Short Term Long Term


Memory Memory
(5-6 hours) (Lifelong)

The process of learning, or memory formation, involves


transferring information from short term memory to
long term memory.
Conceptual Framework of study
Expected Results
• Help to understand the brand recall pattern of individuals
after viewing the advertisements with and without social
messages (Cause related advertising)
• impact of advertisement with and without social
messages on the short term and long term memory of
human beings
• Managers would be able to choose better advertising
strategy for their advertisements
