Notes de l'éditeur
- I will introduce you to our target group. It would include people who buy Swarovski product for someone else as a gift. Here are the demographic characteristics of the group. We target both women and men, single or married, of the age from 18 to 45 because according to most of Swarovski’s campaigns this is an age group the company targets. Income is from medium to high because as Zina mentioned prices range from 35 to thousands of dollars. For psychographic characteristics interests and attitudes of the group were identified: Focused on relationships, have desire to make someone feel good and special, tend to buy unique gifts for their special ones.
- The next are common behaviors held by target group. We concentrate on people who bought Swarovski at least once in last 2 year, because the proportion of heavy users is small for jewelry industry. Price sensitivity is low. Swarovski is successful in its unique marketing approach of building customer loyalty, and that is why the loyalty level is from Medium to high. And since Swarovski is a jewelry brand, product involvement level is high. In terms of geography, out target group are people living or spending most of their time in metropolitan areas, and in the scope of this research we focus on San Francisco Bay Area.
- Several insight about decision making were discovered: First, all the stages of decision making for men takes place nearby or in the store, because male respondents said that they didn’t make any research beforehand, but just noticed the store while passing nearby it, unlike the female respondents who actually said they had looked for products online and already had knew what to expect from the store. We also found out that men actually seek assistance from women in making their final choice or ask their female friend to accompany them. Combining these insights the following actions are proposed. To Provide personal shoppers in stores: This would work in following way: when a man enters a store, he is informed about availability of personal shoppers and that they can assist him if only he asks for it. So thereby, we leave the choice on the customer in the case if he doesn’t want any help.
- This insight shows how people are influenced by family members depending on the gender. Women like to discuss and talk about jewelry with their family members and ask their opinion when buying gifts for someone else. Whereas men like to keep the process to themselves, they don’t discuss jewelry related topics and make the choice and decision without any consultation with family members. Posts on social media should target more women then men and encourage them to participate in discussions by launching events and for example using hashtags like #telluswhatubought The posts directed to men should appear more rarely and individualistic approach should be kept towards every post with the focus on relationships
- 1) What was found out thought qualitative research is that customers want to feel that Swarovski is not a brand that is available everywhere to everyone and hence they want to enjoy the exclusivity associated with the brand. 2) Moreover, respondents expressed negative attitudes towards some promotional techniques like personal emails, ads on TV and billboards. Based on this, here are the actions for company: Advertisement should appear only near the stores. That means within the malls / or on the street where the store is located To keep brand equity intact company can post only relevant materials to their social media, this would also prevent from being intrusive
- Any reduction in price will disconnect people on the association as they buy for special people to create special memories.
