Managing Brand Equity in an Integrated Marketing Communication Strategy : - A Case Study in the FMCG industry of the effectiveness and synergies of digital marketing channels.Rashid, Paola January 2014 (has links)
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to add empirical findings of IMC strategies utilizing digital- and traditional marketing communication channels to build and maintain brand equity in the FMCG industry. More specifically awareness, associations/image and sales that are said to be critically affected by communication are the focus of the study. Research Question: Are digital marketing communication channels in an IMC strategy effective in creating awareness, associations and sales within the FMCG industry? Methodological approach: An exploratory case study was adopted utilizing a mix of data sources. An interview with the Nordic Marketing Manager at the focal firm combined with multiple-source secondary data was used to give the context of the IMC strategy. A survey was then conducted with 269 respondents, thus the study measures the outcome on an individual level. Findings: The findings show that the digital marketing communication channels have little or no direct effects on awareness, associations and sales. When looking at light – heavy category users it is found that the traditional marketing communication channels have a greater effect on the lightest users. Social media from others than the firm was found to have greater effects on awareness for heavier category users. Synergy effects were found for social media from the focal firm and others. Although the touchpoints that gained synergy effects were unexpected: Seen at work, tasted at work, sample from i.e. friends and family and seen on shelf. Further research is needed. Contribution: This study moves beyond the laboratory setting of most previous research, allowing study of the touchpoints in business practice/part of an IMC strategy. Some touchpoints studied seem to be part of a novel notion not studied in previous research i.e. in store activites. More touchpoints are studied than in most previous research found.

The Metasearch Road to Purchase : An investigation of the Touchpoints on Metasearch Engines in the Travel Distribution Industry / The Metasearch Road to Purchase : An investigation of the Touchpoints on Metasearch Engines in the Travel Distribution IndustryMikaelsson, André, Mikkelsen, Gustav January 2018 (has links)
The travel distribution industry is growing. While traditional distribution channels such as online travel agencies and physical stores are decreasing in revenues, metasearch companies are receiving greater attention from consumers. However, metasearch companies face challenges even with an increasing market. Offering a proposition with a business model that revolves around pay per click and advertisements, you are in need of large amount of traffic. To understand the consumer behaviour has never been more critical. It is about increasing the ability to create a rich customer experience. In order to do so, companies are in need of understanding how to interact with consumers. The interaction is mainly occurring through touchpoints. Accordingly, the aim of this study is to investigate how the current identified most relevant digital touchpoints are having impact on the consumers opinion of metasearch websites in the travel distribution industry. By doing so, we contribute to marketing theory, method and practices. The importance of certain touchpoints and to find out if they have the same relevance when the purchase itself is excluded. Focus is being towards factors that metasearch companies see as undiscovered. A quantitative study was conducted with a sample of 148 respondents. The result not only gave new insight in terms of touchpoints relevance in metasearch industries but also a theoretical ground for future research.

Experiential Marketing and Customer Experience - How apparel stores build customer experience and interaction using in-store touchpointsNyberg, Emma, Soini, Mathias January 2017 (has links)
Abstract Purpose:The purpose of this study is to explore in-store touchpoints that help creating a positive customer experience in apparel stores. The aim of this thesis is to provide further insight that may be used for implementation of experiential marketing in stores. Problem:As e-commerce channels are gaining more customers to the detriment of brick and mortar stores, the authors of this thesis believe it is relevant to study what apparel stores can do to enhance their customer experience. There is substantial research done on customer experience but not as much on the combination of touchpoints in-store and how that connects to customer experience. This literature gap forms the problem discussion and the research question the thesis strives to explore. Method:An exploratory strategy with a combination of deductive and inductive research approach has been applied for the study. Through secondary data and literature search the authors explored the field of experience and in-store touchpoint elements contributing to customer experience and interaction. Further, a qualitative approach was used to form case studies on three companies; Firstly, Qmatic a global leader in helping companies seamlessly integrate online and offline touchpoints, through pioneering software and hardware systems. Secondly, the women’s fashion brand NA-KD, having sold clothes to more than 150 countries in less than two years. Thirdly, Partners, a traditional family-owned brick and mortar store selling apparel to gentlemen. Findings and Conclusion:The analysed empirical findings present that apparel stores work differently with touchpoints depending on who their customer is. Based on the three case studies, the authors conclude that “employee and customer interaction” is the most prominent touchpoint connected with in-store environment. This element can be reinforced by other touchpoints customized for specific brands and stores, which also plays a big role for the customer experience and interaction.

Embrace the Experience : A multiple case study of customer experience strategies within the Swedish retail marketEriksson, Linus, Rosander, Emmy January 2021 (has links)
The concept of customer experience has an increasing interest among organizations today since customers have become picky and demands for an experience are an existing fact. In the early 2000s, a paradigm shift was found, where focus from a goods-dominant logic was moved to a service-dominant logic which came to have a great impact on how to manage customer experiences today. Digitalization in society has increased which has created both opportunities and difficulties for organizations. A new norm has emerged where organizations implement an omnichannel strategy. In turn, omnichannel marketing can improve the customer experience. However, omnichannel marketing makes the customer journey highly individual and more complex to understand. Therefore the purpose of this thesis is to explore how Swedish retailers on a strategic level manage the customer experience and if there are any differences in the strategies between price segments. The empirical findings were conducted using a qualitative multiple case study of five cases in the Swedish retail sector. The data was gathered from semi-structured interviews and was analyzed and compared to existing theory. The conclusion of this thesis shows customer insights as a common theme that emerges frequently throughout the semi-structured interviews. Through customer insight, retail organizations have a chance to meet their customers’ demands and face the complexity that occurs with technology and new channels. In the conclusion, there are also found differences in how to manage customer experiences between price segments. A common factor among the cases within customer experience is quality. Although, quality has a different meaning depending on which price segment. Further, the quality can be staged into three levels connected to each price segment.

Sensory marketing is a broad concept that can be used as a marketing tool. The sensory marketing can be used in different ways and in different environments. The most common use for sensory marketing in a B2C environment where the customer can interact with their senses more.But how do B2B companies comprehend sensory marketing in a digital environment. The use of sensory marketing is a hard marketing tool to use when applying it to the digital environment. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis has been to examine how B2B companies can implicate sensory marketing in digital marketing and how it can affect their brand image. The research questions were to be answered by using qualitative case study where eight different industries within the B2B companies participated in semi-structured interviews. Using the qualitative method to get a more in-depth understanding of how different industries within the B2B companies use sensory marketing is the right choice for collecting correct data. Later in the thesis the collected data is going to be analyzed and discussed with the theory for the purpose to see similarities and differences. The conclusion of this explains to those B2B companies that were interviewed for this thesis, that the use of sensory marketing is not a conscious decision. The companies use vision and hearing as a subconscious method of spreading awareness about the companies. Although the B2B companies feel it's hard to imply for the business the choice of using the other sense is not aucurrent for their business.

Getting Fit From The Living Room : A qualitative study on how the digitalization of fitness services have impacted the customer experienceMånsson, Jenny January 2021 (has links)
Purpose The purpose of this study is to get insights in how the digitalization of fitness services has affected the customer experience, this with a focus on fitness services such as dance classes and PT-sessions online. Theoretical background The theory has its foundation in both the customer journey where different touchpoints are perceived and the factors affecting the customer experience. Many studies have been done in the subject of customer experience and five factors are categorized. First, the cognitive factors then the affective factors, sensory factors, social factors and last the conative factors. Methodology The study employs a qualitative research type with a cross-sectional research design. Primary data are collected through semi-structured interviews with four customers and one gym. Empirical findings and analysis Multiple differences and similarities between the digital and physical experience are presented. For example, physical gyms have more equipment than all of the respondents have in their home. At the same time, it can be a disadvantage that the internet connection and digital tools are required at the digital classes. However, the flexibility is higher when the classes are online, both because of the accessibility and the higher ability to choose time and place for the workout. Conclusion The digitalization of fitness services has affected the customer experience, both positive and negative. To what extent the change is positive or negative are based on personal preferences. For instance, some customers enjoy the lack of social interaction while some miss is, some may like the smell of the gym while some prefer the smell of their own home. Therefore, the ability to choose in the future is recommended and the gyms do need to work on the optimalization of the experience both for their digital and physical customers.
