Service Quality and the Small Apparel Speciality Store : Perceptions of Female ConsumersKnight, Delores Kay 12 1900 (has links)
Service quality defined by the customer is an important element in satisfying customers and may determine retail survival. The SERVQUAL instrument measured desired and minimum expectations and perceptions of service quality in a small apparel specialty store. Factor analysis with varimax rotation resulted in three dimensions of service quality for both desired and minimum levels of expectations and perceptions: (a) Personal Attention, (b) Reliability, and (c) Tangibles. Regression analyses determined the relationship between overall service quality (OSQ) and various predictor variables. Based on gap scores between desired expectations and perceptions, the Personal Attention and Tangibles dimensions were significant in predicting OSQ. SERVQUAL is a managerial tool that small apparel retailers may use to improve service quality.

Impulsköp : En studie om vilka faktorer som kan påverka när svenska kvinnor utför impulsköpAndersson Weinez, Linnéa January 2017 (has links)
Detaljhandeln förmodas möta en stor utmaning de kommande åren. Detta då digitaliseringen växer i snabb takt och e-handeln konkurrerar allt mer mot de traditionella butikerna. På grund av den hårdnande konkurrensen är det viktigt att företag tänker nytt och är innovativa. För att bemöta utmaningen menar jag att impulsköp kan anses som en konkurrensfördel för detaljhandelsföretag. Denna studie har därför tagit sin utgångspunkt i detta och belyser just fenomenet impulsköp. Då kvinnan är den som tidigare påvisats utföra flest impulsköp valdes det i studien att fokusera på henne. Syftet var att bidra med en ökad kunskap gällande vilka faktorer som kan påverka när svenska kvinnor impulshandlar. Studiens insamling av empiri bestod av en gruppintervju samt tre enskilda intervjuer. Dessa grundades i en analysmodell som utvecklats från studiens litteraturgenomgång. Sammanfattningsvis var det tre faktorer ur studiens analysmodell som kunde påvisas vara påverkande vid impulsköp. Dessa var shoppingmiljö, erbjudande och sällskap. Även merförsäljning och ålder har påvisats kunna vara betydande för impulsköp. / Retail business is expected to face a major challenge in the coming years. This is because digitalization is growing rapidly, and e-commerce is increasingly competing against traditional stores. It requires innovative thinking of companies to be competitive. To meet the challenge, I mean that impulse purchases can be used as a competitive advantage for retail companies. This study has therefore taken its starting point in the phenomenon impulse purchases. The study focuses on a female perspective since women are more inclined to execute impulse purchases. The purpose was to contribute to increased knowledge of the factors that may be crucial when Swedish women do impulse purchases. The study's empirical gathering consisted of a group interview and three individual interviews. These interviews were based on an analysis model developed by the study's literature review. In summary, three factors from the study's analysis model that could be shown to be influential in impulse purchases . These are shopping environments, offers and companies while shopping. Even additional sale and age have been shown to be significant for impulse purchases.

Meanwhile, the key point to promote the 3G mobile phone is the service of applications; especially the service refers to the characteristics of 3G mobile phone. For female consumers, service design should focus on female characteristics of life and special demands.

Problem: Research shows that it is crucial to acknowledge the information search step to understand consumer decision-making. Moreover, consumers‟ buying behavior is affected by their brand awareness. A problem is however that there exist a gap in previous research on understanding the consumers‟ actual behavior and why they choose certain platforms for their information gathering. Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to get an understanding of consumers‟ information gathering process about cosmetic products and in turn to what extent that can create brand- awareness and attitudes. The thesis aims at filling the gap of truly understanding consumers inter-action in media and their behavior. The target audience to be stud-ied is young women, age 18-26, in the cosmetic industry. The inten-tion is to take an exploratory research view and to understand how this group of customers behave and also to describe why that is the reason. Methodology: To meet the purpose of the thesis, a qualitative research design was chosen since it allows the participants to express their opinions, re-flections and feelings as well as truly understanding the target in the way it enables deeper discussions. Three focus groups were con-ducted with young female consumers, and one in-depth interview was held with the partner company The Body Shop. The data was color-coded and presented separately in the result section, so that every participant‟s opinion was visible, before combining the results with theoretical reasoning in the analysis section. Conclusion: This study shows that young female consumers spend most of their information search on Instagram and Youtube since it is quick, fun and give inspiration, but they also value recommendations from friends. On all platforms they highly value a feeling of personal rela-tionships. Regarding brand- awareness and attitudes, it was found that brands are for the most part very important for the young fe-male consumers and they learn about brands both in their infor-mation search online and offline when talking to friends or visiting stores.

Male and female consumers' knowledge, perceptions and use of clothing labels / Anna Magdalena Niemann (neé Krüger)Niemann, Anna Magdalena January 2010 (has links)
Background and motivation
Clothing labels concern the permanently attached labels as well as the temporarily attached
labels known as hangtags that are found on clothing products. Clothing labels assist consumers
when they are deciding whether or not to purchase clothing products, by providing product
information and potential care instructions. Clothing labels are made up of two attributes, namely
the physical nature of clothing labels in addition to the information on clothing labels.
Adequate knowledge, positive perceptions and optimal use of clothing labels may result in
satisfied consumers who make responsible and informed purchases. The aim of this study was
subsequently, to determine male and female consumers’ knowledge, perceptions and use of
clothing labels. The provision of clothing labels does not guarantee that consumers will read,
understand or apply the information on clothing labels. Therefore this research is based on
retailers’ assumption that the provision of informative clothing labels is sufficient to encourage the
usage thereof and that all consumers understand and perceive the clothing labels as intended.
Due to the lack of research that exists in South Africa in the field of clothing labels, it is not known
whether consumers have adequate knowledge and positive perceptions of clothing labels and the
information on them, and whether they use the labels optimally.
Methodology
The research design of this study was non–experimental, quantitative, exploratory, and
descriptive. Questionnaires were used as the measuring instrument to collect the data. The study
population included all the consumers in three municipalities in the North–West Province above
the age of 18 years, male as well as female, who can read and who had purchased a clothing
product some time from one of the selected stores. Data collection was undertaken in the
Bonjana, Platinum and Southern district municipalities, which included, Rustenburg, Klerksdorp
and Potchefstroom. A total of 304 usable questionnaires were obtained.
Results and discussion
On average 71% of the respondents had adequate knowledge of the information presented on
clothing labels (excluding the care instructions) and 65.6% had adequate knowledge regarding
the care instructions. Respondents perceived colours in general (79.9%), letter size (83%) and
readability (77.7%) of information on clothing labels as positive. They found it very important that
the information on clothing labels will not fade (68.8%), and that the positioning remains constant
(78.8%), in addition to not showing (84.9%). Respondents perceived the indication of information
on clothing as positive, regarding the fibre content (84.2%), country of origin (61.2%), size
indication (89.5%) as well as additional information, such as applied special finishes (76.4%) and
indication of eco friendly clothing (69.5%) and licensed trade marks (78%). Respondents
sufficiently made use of the care instructions in words (68.1%) and symbols (63.2%) when
purchasing similar items. More than half (56.9%) of the respondents used the indication of special
finishes applied to clothing during the pre– and post purchasing phase. The indication of eco
friendly clothing was used by the respondents (51%) for future reference and 63.5% made use of
the licensed trademarks when purchasing similar products.
In conclusion the results generally indicated that the respondents had adequate knowledge and
positive perceptions of clothing labels, and made use of clothing labels before, during and after
purchasing clothing products. Furthermore only small significant differences were found between
male and female respondents’ knowledge, perceptions and use of clothing labels. It was
established that relationships do exist between respondents’ knowledge, perceptions and use of
clothing labels. / Thesis (M. Consumer Science)--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2011.

Do they really get influenced? : A psycho-social study examining the presence of fashion SMIs on Swedish female consumers' fashion related purchasing decisionsMacavei, Iunona Georgiana, Saleh, Afshana January 2021 (has links)
Consumers now more than ever are concerned by a teeming pool of social and cultural powers-Social Media Influencers (SMI)-that influence their purchasing decisions. Fashion as one of the most extensive industries in the world has spurred the rise of fashion SMIs on Instagram. As such , identifying that previous literature has studied female and male consumers jointly, this thesis thus, by employing a psycho-social methodological approach and a Consumer Culture theory perspective, takes a rather explorative modus operandi in trying to understand the perception of Swedish female consumer toward fashion SMIs while identifying the factor related to fashion SMIs that contour Swedish female consumers perceptions and facilitate purchasing decisions. Some of the findings are 1) fashion SMIs that are always presenting their perfect self are considered mischievous, 2) fashion SMIs consumers to discover their true selves, 3) fashion SMIs expertise is highly valued when seen outside a collaboration, 4) fashion SMIs trustworthiness is enhanced when they also present the flaws of their lives,5)consumers are rational buyers and regardless of the great influence of fashion SMIs, they finalize their purchasing decisions based on their needs, product attributes, and opinions received from friends and family.
