7 consumer spending
Mktgthe total value of household and personal expenditure measured at macro and micro levels. At the macro level, consumer confidence can be measured by the overall levels of consumer spending and from a demonstration that earnings have increased at a faster rate than prices, which indicates that spending power, or disposable income, has increased. At a micro level, there are innumerable market reports on the value of actual and predicted spend on a vast range of consumer goods, including food, pharmaceuticals, clothing, cars, and vacations. Consumer demand is a related concept. -
8 consumer demand
Mktgthe patterns of consumer behavior that affect their buying decisions. Consumer demand is influenced in various ways. Psychologists and marketers have identified three important factors affecting buying decisions: needs, which are things we must have, such as food; wants, which are nice to have but not essential, such as a new car; and motives, such as keeping up appearances. These factors form part of a profile that includes motivations, personality, perceptions, cognition, attitudes, and values. Other factors that influence demand include gender, age, social grouping, education, location, income, culture, and the seasons. Consumers can therefore be divided into discrete segments, each of which has a particular pattern of buying behavior. Products and services can then be targeted at specific segments of the market. -
9 consumer panel
Mktga carefully selected group of people whose purchasing habits are regularly monitored. A consumer panel usually consists of a large cross-section of the population so as to provide meaningful data. There are two types of panel: diary panels, where members fill in a regular detailed diary of purchases, and, less commonly, home audit panels, where visits are made to the homes of members to check purchases, packaging, and used cartons. These panels run over a period of time to gain a broad overview of purchasing habits. A focus group is similar to a consumer panel, but is usually used to determine customers’ views of a specific product or range of products. Members of a group meet together under the guidance of a facilitator to discuss their opinions on a face-to-face basis. -
