Research Design : Exploratory Research is being adopted in this study to find out the brand preference and characteristics of consumers
Research Approach: Secondary: Research Papers, Websites
Primary Research :
Survey and Questionnaires method
Focus group Discussion
Sample Size and Sampling Technique
Sample size taken in this study is 100. As all the possible items are considered for research, the sampling method adopted in his study is convenience sampling
Chi Square Method: To compare customers’ attributes
with various factors (Price vs Gender and Age vs Product
Form)
Weighted Average Rank : To determine the relative
importance of factors for a particular brand
Focus Group Method: To find out the important
attributes of the for any brand.
As we can see above that the Attribute has the maximum rank(priorities) while going for any brand followed by the Availability and the Price of the product
Calculated Value- 0.4158 Tabulated Value: 7.82 Degree of Freedom: 3
So we fail to reject the hypothesis and we accept that there is no relationship between price and gender of the respondent. That means as per my study the price switch theory on brand does not exist.
Calculated value: 12.32 Degree of freedom: 5 Table value: 11.07
According to the above stats we can see that the calculated value is more than the tabulated value so again we are rejecting the hypothesis and hence we can tell that there is dependence of age on the attributes
Based on the following objective: Which is the most important factor for which you will purchase a brand ?
Time: 20 minutes
No of Participants: 7
Take away: Both price and Attributes are considered as important factors. Family influence is the least preferred option for the participants
The research study concludes the following:
Switching theory does not exist with respect to the genders
Choices of the forms of the product depends on the age - group
The most important factor that leads for the consumption of a brand is the attributes and which is followed by the price of the same
