Customer Value & Purchase Involvement

Value drives satisfaction Satisfaction is a necessary condition for customer loyalty, but not a sufficient to create loyal customers, customer excellence & delight

Delivering value to the customers is a key to achieving organizational goals by being more effective than its competitors in creating , delivering & communicating customer value to the identified set of consumers in the market

What is value?

Value = Benefits ( Functional Benefit + Emotional Benefit) Cost ( Monetary +Time+ Energy+ Psychic Cost)

What is customer delivered value ( CDV) ?

It is a difference between Total Customer Value( TCV) & Customer’s Total Cost ( CTC)

Determinants of CDV

CDV

CTC

TCV Productvalue

ServiceValue

Emotional Value

ImageValue

Time Cost

EnergyCost

Psychiccost

CDV builds customer delight It is a difference between the perceived performance ( Out come ) & expectation.If the performance falls short of expectation, it leads to dissatisfaction. On the other hand if it matches the expectation it leads to satisfaction. When it exceeds expectation, it becomes Customer delight .

Conclusion :

�Add value to your customer.

�Drive the customer up the value chain continuously

� Customer understands value for money better than any thing.Need of a consumer is never ending . Identify the unstated needs residing deep into the minds of the consumer , translate it in to a value proposition , communicate & deliver before your competition does it. In the media cluttered market , it is critical for every marketer to perform the mind set segmentation of their consumer to understand , how his brand is linked to his consumer. Media research Co.

Values : Values are formed at much early in age ,at home or school & are the deep rooted . While all values have its own negatives & positives, it can rarely be changed .

Ritual & heroes fall between the deepest & superficial manifestation . Heroes are people ,alive or dead or imaginary serving as a role models of the behavior.

The influence is either as face to face ( primary group or as reference group ( values, norms, living standard etc) Understanding of family Life cycle ( FLC) FLC: A composite variable created by systematically combining commonly used demographic variables like : size of the family, martial status age earning members , disposable income etc. FLC is studied from the view point of : Bachelor hood status Married couple Parent hood Post parent hood Dissolution Parent hood is further classified in to Full nest 1 , 2 & 3 stage . Post parent hood is classified in to Empty nest 1 & 2


21

Cultural & societal variables establish the outer boundaries of life style specific to culture . The interaction of the group & individual expectations & values create a systematic pattern of behaviour. This life style pattern determines the purchase decision.

Life style refers to the way in which people live & spend money . Consumer psychographic profiles are derived by measuring different aspects of the consumer such as : Activities , Interests & opinion referred as AIO inventory It helps to look at wide variety of variables & measures the major dimension as follows: Feldman & Theibar explains life style by the following characteristics: 1 Life style is a group phenomenon . It is influenced by his/her participation in social groups & individual personality ( attitude , emotional status driven by beliefs & values ) 2 Life style implies a central life interest . The central life implies interest factors like family, work , leisure , religion , politics , sexual exploits 3 The rate of social change in a society has a great influence on the life style. Age , gender , religion ethnicity & social class . E.g. Dual income class , nuclear family High earning potential in early age & late working hours .

VAL( Value & Life style Classification ) System . ( developed by Arnold Mitchell)

The system was developed to explain the dynamics of societal change in the buying behavior of a consumer . Accordingly consumer responses were collected for 35 attitudinal & 4 demographic questions. On the basis of these responses consumers were classified in eight distinctive sub groups. Each group signifies a behaviour response pattern ( life style ) & inner psychological needs ( Value )

It acts as a dynamic frame work of values & life styles which helps to explain why people have a explicit behavior

Eight VAL segments are : Actulizer Experiencer

Fulfilled Maker

Believer Struggler

Achiever

Striver
