Today, the primary capital of many businesses is their brands. For decades the value of a company was measured in terms of its real estate, then tangible assets plants and equipment. However, it has recently been recognized that a company’s real value lies outside the business itself. in the minds of potential buyers. The distinction between brand and product is fundamental product are what the company makes; what the customer buys is a brand. The same is true of services. In paying very high prices for companies with brands, buyers are actually purchasing a position in the minds of potential customers, be it in the stalls or in the royal circle. Awareness, image trust and reputation all painstakingly acquired over the years, are the best guarantees of future earnings. These justify the high prices paid. The value of a brand lies in its capacity to generate such cash flows. Buying Behaviour of Consumer : For the potential customer, a brand is a landmark. Like money, it facilitates trade.

It includes what they buy, how they buy it, why and when they buy it and how often they used it. One of the ways to influence this behaviour in a fast fashion retail setting is to use visual merchandising strategies which trigger a number of stimuli influencing the consumers’ perception. The purpose of this research is to establish to what extent this visual merchandising strategies influencing consumers with a different cultural background in a highly competitive multicultural retail environment with an emphasis on the flagship store of Armani Exchange Regent Street, London. The author argues that the available models of consumer behaviour does not provide sufficient flexibility due to their linear nature. Therefore, they are unsuitable to address the needs of a contemporary retailer operating in a multicultural environment.

Consequently, the hypothesis is tested by analysing a mixed sources of primary and secondary data. The conclusion of the author is that due to the absence of adequate consumer behaviour model the researched organisation is missing on a considerable amount of sales.

...MKT640 – A Managerial Approach to Marketing Abstract There are several different aspects that come into play when launching a new product. Assessing the need, market and potential competition are just a few of the obstacles that must be addressed to successfully launch a new product and have success with that launch. There are many steps to this process and this paper will speak to those steps. Unit 2 Individual Project Introduction When attempting to launch a new product, much research must be done to determine if there is a target audience for the product being launched. It must also be determined if there is a need for the product. Lastly, research should be done to determine if a similar product is already on the market. Maslow’s Theory of Need and its Application to Marketing Maslow’s theory of need basically states that human beings have five levels of need. In order for someone to move to the next level, the previous level must be met in some form. The five levels of need are as follows: physiological, safety and security, social and belongingness, ego, status, and self-esteem, and finally self-actualization needs (Berl, Williamson & Powell, 1984). Basically, the theory states that if a person is starving, that is their primary need at that time. Until that need is met, they are not concerned with safety or any of the other levels. Once that need is met, in that they have a steady food source, then the person will move to the next level and...
