A steady finger on the Vietnamese financial pulse with over 5,000 bank and non-bank users. The latest Personal Finance Monitor showed that 9 out 10 urbanites still save money at home. Not just cash but also gold and some foreign currency.

Green Tea Here, Green Tea There. How Do My Consumers Make Their Decisions?

Given the large amount of information that our brain needs to cope with, and the shortage of time, we have an inherent need to simplify choices. We create rules to avoid going through the entire decision process again. However, sometimes those rules are challenged making consumers changed their decisions. Uncover-ing the decision experience and triggers are the keys to unlocking consumer choice.

DeltaQual is understanding consumer behavior by focusing on how consumers think and act as opposed to focusing on how they perceive the product. Consum-ers rely on simple ‘rules’ to avoid a lengthy decision-making process. Interviewing techniques used recreate previous purchase occasions to uncover these rules and what challenged them.

Key observations

• Consumer confidence index drops as they are less positive about job prospects, their status of personal finance and readiness to spend

• Senior leaders appear to be less optimistic about business conditions in Vietnam compared to half a year ago

• Inflation and how to pass on price increases continue to appear in the top three concerns, yet on top of these, there have been rising concerns about corruption and impact on GDP growth

Rising food and utility prices, coupled with VND devaluation and gold price increases from Q3, have impacted consumers’ confidence and business leaders’ optimism:

• Double-digit growth is expected from increasing consumer demand and business expansion plans

• Most are looking at expansion into rural areas and the modern trade channel, as well as launching into new product categories

• Advertising spend is expected to increase, with TVC remaining the key media form, together with emerging channels such as Internet

Nevertheless, business leaders are getting geared towards a better year, as they are highly confident of the 2011 outlook:

Source: Nielsen Business Barometer 2010 , Wave 4

Key observations

• Look into rural areas as the next frontier of growth• Effectively invest in modern trade channels• Identify new potential categories to expand into• Diversify communication platforms to include emerging

channels such as internet and mobile advertising• Effectively control ever-increasing costs • Develop and retain talent to avoid skilled labor shortage

• Consumers are seeking savings via promotions or big pack sizes, hence you should consider addressing this in a relevant way to your category and brand

• Purchasing of Vietnamese products/ brands trend has emerged out of consumers’ search for value for money and supported by the government campaign. Therefore, multinational businesses should constantly prove good value to their consumers through innovation and effective communications.

In addition, timely reactions to consumer trends is also vital for success:

personal care. Grooming is a

I think it’s quite good when males

also groom for themselves. I’d be proud of my boyfriend if he’s

well-groomed and confident.

The grooming evolution

•Males look for simple products that have clear functionality and problem solving benefits

•Males care more about their hair, their clothes & shoes than their face & body.

•Certain sophisticated needs are yet to be recognized • Females are willing to

invest more time and effort in personal care/ personal grooming

• Females care about their body from top to toe and are willing to use almost any products to look better & feel better

For me, using moisturizer and body lotion is critical as it

helps to keep my skin smooth and moist. Also they help to

prevent skin aging. Facial wash can only keep your face clean. It’s not sufficient for

the skin.

Point 2: Understand gender shopping behavior

“When we go into a fashion store, we can try different shirts but only

buy 1 or 2 that fits us the most.Females are different, they can buy 3-4 shirts for example, even though

they only try 1-2 of them.”

“We males normally have a plan of what to buy before shopping.

Females might just go unplanned and end up buying a lot of things.”

“I don’t like to bargain. If I find a good quality product that suits me, I will just pay for it and go. My wife is different, she always takes time to

bargain down the price.”

Bargain-hunter, impulsive, easy to influence

Quality-seeker, grab and go, planned

Summary – Vietnam is heating up!

• Education – one should not underestimate the lack of understanding that exists around banking products amongst many customers. Communication and education will be an essential part of building relationships with those groups currently untapped.

• Youth – Vietnam has a large, young population and the signs, across all sectors, are that they are increasingly exposed to new products and services and they are increasingly open to investigating them.

• Operations & Channels – the best brand promise in the world must be backed up by operational delivery. Be bold with your channel delivery. Almost 50% of business leaders in Vietnam said that the internet will see an increase in spend as a communications channel this year.
