Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Business economics - Marketing, Corporate Communication, CRM, Market Research, Social Media, grade: B, University of Bratislava (UNIVERSITY OF ECONOMICS IN BRATISLAVA), language: English, abstract: Customers search consciously for products but they also search much more unconsciously for products and services to satisfy their needs. In many cases, however, it is not the targeted rational purchase, but the marketing, which encourages the customer to buy. Successful marketing, however, presupposes that providers of goods or services know exactly the background of the purchasing behaviour, the current or latent needs of their customers and the current trends in purchasing behaviour. Only then, can a successful marketing model be developed from a mix of marketing tools. For this reason, consumer behaviour research is of great importance.

As marketing professionals look for ever more effective ways to promote their goods and services to customers, a thorough understanding of customer needs and the ability to predict a target audience’s reaction to advertising campaigns is essential. Marketing and Consumer Behavior: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications explores cutting-edge advancements in marketing strategies as well as the development and design considerations integral to the successful analysis of consumer trends. Including both in-depth case studies and theoretical discussions, this comprehensive four-volume reference is a necessary resource for business leaders and marketing managers, students and educators, and advertisers looking to expand the reach of their target market.

Consumption is the primary economic activity in our post-industrial society. We are consumers, not producers. Consumer behavior analysis is leading heterodox marketing scholarship and innovative applied behavioral work, with much to offer both constituencies. This volume shows how consumer behavior analysis fits within a larger-scale approach to marketing, consumer psychology, behavior analysis and organizational behavior management. Describing both theoretical analyses and empirical studies including laboratory experiments in e-commerce, in-store experiments in grocery shopping, and an analysis of the counterfeit goods market, this book is a working example of translational research. It contains tools and studies to help understand contemporary consumer behavior, particularly for those in marketing. Scholars will appreciate the theory and real-world applications evident in each chapter when considering their own research direction. All students of marketing theory, behavior analysis and consumer choice will find this collection a thought-provoking tool for further understanding of a new behavioral approach to marketing strategy, consumer decisions and marketing firms. This book comprises articles originally published in the Journal of Organizational Behavior Management.

This work shows how the various elements of consumer analysis fit together in an integrated framework, called the Wheel of Consumer Analysis. Psychological, social and behavioural theories are shown as useful for understanding consumers and developing more effective marketing strategies. The aim is to enable students to develop skills in analyzing consumers from a marketing management perspective and in using this knowledge to develop and evaluate marketing strategies. The text identifies three groups of concepts - affect and cognition, behaviour and the environment - and shows how these they influence each other as well as marketing strategy. The focus of the text is managerial, with a distinctive emphasis on strategic issues and problems. Cases and questions are included in each chapter.

This book is designed for the students of M.A., M.Sc., M.Com. and M.B.A. with the purpose of blending both concepts and applications from the field of consumer behaviour and most importantly jargon has been avoided.
