Customer social self-perception
A large amount of data about Customer social self-perception is available in open sources
General Conclusions (end of 2014 / beginning of 2015)
1. The formation of Customer social self-perception contains contradictory tendencies
2. « Life is not yet worsened» : Material welfare of Russian customers grew till the end of year 2014 and they
did not have time to feel that it worsened.
3. «Prices growth frightens» : The main thing in customer social well-being - a concern about prices increase
and a growing sense of threat to the current well-being and familiar level of consumption.
4. «It is not clear whether it is necessary to change something»: By February 2015 customers did not have
time to adapt to the changing situation in economy, and did not form any clear ideas about the possible
prospects.
5. «It'll Be a Long Time »: Hope for rapid change in situation decreases. Estimated time of the crisis - 2 - 4 years.
6. «There are concerns that it will worsen»: There is a slight tendency of pessimistic assessment of the
situation. The perception that in the near future the situation will worsen. But this feeling to some extent is
compensated by the hope that "everything will work out all right”.
7. «Unemployment doesn’t scare»: The fear of losing job is growing, but so far, there is a hope that things will
come right.
8. «Salvation will come from Government»: Keep hopes on authorities, in a broad sense - it is assumed that
the country leaders will find a way out of a difficult situation.
Customer main objectives
Only every 10th family wants to live better than "abroad" and every second - better than
"neighbor"
What will customers do for this?
Most people are not inclined to work more, they feel more comfortable to save.

Customer groups and types of behavior
We can distinguish four customer groups by characteristics of customer behavior and social self-perception
1. Have no difficulties2. Experience difficulties but retain usual level of consumption;3. Experience difficulties and chose cost saving ;4. Experience significant difficulties and save on everything.
