Still it is identified that children are aware of the branded product but purchasing decision is up to their parents.
Attractive advertisement, jingles, logos are very effective to recall. Children also the influence the buying decision.
The research has added to the understanding of children and their relationships to brands and their use of brand symbolism. It enhances the knowledge of brands and children in higher economic groups and the way brands are discussed in social situations in the environment of school class.
It has some implications for the marketing of children’s products and services. Marketers should realize that children use brands and brands are important especially in social settings. However, respect of brands is not universal and some children are more interested in them than others. It should not be forgotten however that parents at this stage still have strong control over the brand preferences and consumption possibilities of children.
This should be taken into consideration by designing ethically sustainable products and services for children.
Suggestion:-
To reach to children segment advertisement should be placed on the channels which mostly watch by the children like Cartoon Network.
From the studies it is identified that advertisement should only contain attractive advertisement, jingles, logos but also nutritious information .
Attractive packaging may affect the awareness and buying decision.
Advertisement should highlight order winner characteristics.
