Economic environment
“Factors that affect consumer buying power and spending patterns”
Value Marketing has become the watchword for many marketers. They are
looking for ways to offer today’s more financially cautious buyers greater value.
Marketers should pay attention to income distribution as well as average income.
○ Upper-class consumers, whose spending patterns are not affected by current economic events.
○ The middle class is somewhat careful about its spending, but can still afford the good life some of the time.
○ The working class must stick close to the basics of food, clothing, and shelter.
○ The underclass must count their pennies when making even the most basic purchases.
● Consumers at different income levels have different spending patterns.14

The Marketing Research process
![Page 23: 02.scanning marketing environment and the marketing reserch process](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051411/546ed9bfaf79597b298b58b9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
What is Marketing Research?
Marketing research is the systematic design, collection,
analysis, and reporting of data and findings relevant to a specific marketing situation facing the
company.
![Page 24: 02.scanning marketing environment and the marketing reserch process](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051411/546ed9bfaf79597b298b58b9/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The Marketing Research Process
Define the problem
Develop research plan
Collect information
Analyze information
Present findings
Makedecision
![Page 25: 02.scanning marketing environment and the marketing reserch process](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051411/546ed9bfaf79597b298b58b9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Step 1
Define the problem (e.g., Will offering an in-flight Internet service create enough incremental preference and profit of American Airlines to justify its cost?)
Specify decision alternatives (e.g., Should American offer an Internet connection?)
State research objectives (e.g., types of 1st class passengers are likely to use internet?)

Questionnaire Do’s and Don’ts Ensure questions are free of bias Make questions simple Make questions specific Avoid jargon Avoid sophisticated words Avoid ambiguous words
Avoid negatives Avoid hypotheticals Avoid words that could be misheard Use response bands Use mutually exclusive categories Allow for “other” in fixed response questions
![Page 31: 02.scanning marketing environment and the marketing reserch process](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051411/546ed9bfaf79597b298b58b9/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Qualitative Measures
Word association—words are presented, one at a time, and respondents mention the first word that comes to mind.
Projective techniques—give people an incomplete stimulus and ask them to complete it.
Visualization—requires people to create a collage from magazine or drawing to depict their perceptions
Brand personification—ask subjects what kind of person they think of when the brand is mentioned.
Laddering—series of increasingly more specific “why” questions can reveal consumer motivation and consumers’ deeper, more abstract goals.

accessible population members
Judgment Selects population
members who are good prospects for accurate information
Quota Selects and interviews
a prescribed number of people in each of several categories
