designed to stimulate #uicker or greater purchase of particular products or services by
consumers or the trade.E

Whereas advertising offers a reason to buy, sales promotion offers an incentive to buy

offers, prices off, point*of*purchase displays, and demonstrations3K trade promotion
2prices off, advertising and display allowances, and free goods3K and buses and sales force
promotion 2trade shows and conventions contests for sales reps, and specially
advertising3.
5ales*promotion tools are used by most organi0ations, including manufactures,
distributors, retailers, trade associations, and nonprofit organi0ations. Churches, for
example, often sponsor bingo games, theater parties, testimonial dinners, and raffles. !
(ecade ago, the advertising*to*sales promotion ratio was about =. %oday, in many
consumer*packaged*goods companies, sales promotion accounts for ? to 6? of the
combined budget. 5ales promotion expenditures have been increasing percentage of
budget expenditure annually for the last two decades. 5everal factors contributes to the
rapid growth of sales promotion, particularly in enter markets. nternal factors include the
following= promotion is now more accepted by top management as an effective sales toolK
more product managers at, #ualified to use sales*promotion toolsK and product managers
are under greater pies. 5ure to increase current sales.
9xternal factors include the following= the number of brand has increasedK competitors
use promotions fre#uentlyK many brands are seen as similarK consumers are more prices
orientedK the trade has demanded more deals from manufacturesK and advertising
efficiency has declined because of rising costs media clutter, and legal restraints. %he
rapid growth of sales*promotion media has created a situation of promotion clutter
similar to advertising clutter. Consumers might start tuning outK in which case coupons
and other promotion media will weaken in their ability to trigger purchase, manufactures
will have to find ways to rise above the clutter*for instance, by offering larger*redemption
values or using more dramatic point*of*purchase players or demonstrations.

5ales*promotion tools vary in their specific ob&ectives. ! free sample stimulates can.

relationship with a retailer.
5ellers use incentive*type promotions to attract new tries are of threat types*users of
another brand in the same category, users in other categories, and fre#uent brand
switchers. 5ales promotions often attract the brand switchers, because users of other
brands and categories do not always notice or act on a premiums. Brand switchers are
unlikely to turn them into loyal users. 5ales promotions used in markets of high brand
similarity produce a high sales response in the short run but little permanent gain in
market share. n markets of high brand dissimilarE, sales person motions can alter market
shares permanently.
%oday, many marketing managers first estimate what the need to spend in trade
promotions, then what they need to spend in consumer promotion. Whatever is let they
will budget for advertising. %here is a danger, however, in letting advertisement fast a
back seat to sales promotion because advertising typically acts to build brand loyalty.
But the #uestion of whether or not sales promotion weakens brand loyalty, sub&ect to
different interpretations. 5ales promotion, with its incessant prices oh coupons, deals,
premiums, and blaring #uality, may devalue the product offering the buyers1 minds.
Buyers learn that the list price is largely a fiction. But before7 &umping to any conclusion,
we need to distinguish between price promotions and added value promotions.

CON&UMER *UYIN, *EHA+IOUR FOR REFRI,ERATOR&
%he concept of Dbuying behaviorE is of prime importance in marketing and has evolved
over the years. t is important to understand consumer buying behavior as it plays a vital
role in creating an impact on purchase of products.
%he human wants are unlimited and always expect more and more. Refrigerator are no
exception to this behavior. %his lead to constant modifications of mobile handsets and
today we see a new model coming into the market practically every month.
n this study our findings gave us thorough insights of consumer buying behavior of
refrigerators. We find that consumers consider various parameters while buying
refrigerator. >actors such as price and functions availing and the utility and its hedonic
aspects our considered very important.
'n the whole, the market is a very important place to study the behavior of consumers
and also provide useful insights what a consumer re#uires in a product. t is only through
research that an company will be able to study the buying behavior of consumers.

1. Pro)l!m R!#o:ni'ion
%he buying process starts when the buyer recogni0es a problem or need. %he need can be
triggered by internal or external stimuli. "arketers need to identify the circumstances that
trigger a particular need. By gathering information from a number of consumers,
marketers can identify the most fre#uent stimuli that spark an interest in a product
category. %hey can then develop marketing strategies that trigger consumer interest.

!n aroused consumer will be inclined to search for more information. Consumer
information sources fall into four groups

$ow does the consumer evaluate competitive brands and make a final value &udgment
%here is no single process used by all consumers or by one consumer in all buying
situations. But some basic concepts will help us in understanding consumer evaluation
processes.
>irst, the consumer is trying to satisfy a need.
5econd, the consumer is looking for certain benefits from the product solution.
%hird, the consumer sees each product as a bundle of attributes with varying abilities for
delivering the benefits sought to satisfy this need.
2. Pr#has! D!#ision
n the evaluation stage, the consumer forms preferences among the brands in the choice
set. %he consumer may also form an intention to buy the most preferred brand. $owever,
two factors can intervene between the purchase intention and purchase decision.
%he first factor is the attitudes of others and the second factor is unanticipated situational
factors such as loss of income, some other urgent purchase etc.
n executing a purchase intention, the consumer may make up to five purchase sub*
decisions,
Brand decision
endor decision
Ouantity decision
%iming decision
Payment*method decision

purchasing the product.
:ow price also acts as a social barrier as people consider low price refrigerator as a low
#uality product.
Price is not the ma&or constraint if we are providing additional feature needed by the
customers.
Pla#!
:ocation of showrooms is not the most sought after criteria in the purchase decision
because refrigerator is a high*involvement product and customers are ready to travel for
purchasing refrigerators. But show room should be at such a place where other
competitors are also available because people always want to make comparison.
5ince ndia is very rich in its customs and traditions, a number of festivals are celebrated
throughout the year. People prefer to do ma&or purchases during festival and special
occasions so marketer should take this as an opportunity and provide maximum range of
the products.

>ocusing on the promotion element of the four Ps, good communication is the key to
effective marketing. Potential customers go through a purchase cycle= pre*transactional
2ie before a purchase3, transactional 2ie at the time of purchase3 and post*transactional 2ie
after the purchase has been made3. %he !(! model encapsulates this se#uence and can

!dvertisements should be focused on homemakers because they are the primary
influencers, mostly &oint decision is taken whereas the financers husbands.
9xtended after 5ales 5ervice can be used as pull strategy of promotion to attract the
customers as all customers consider it as main attribute while purchasing the product.
nternet is other sources of gathering information about refrigerators and hence the
product should be heavily promoted there.
!dvertisements should also highlight the style and aesthetic appearance of the product to
position it as home dZcor.
5alesmen should be properly trained to educate the customers as they are the ma&or
opinion leaders in this segment of the market.
