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.

Male consumers’ evaluation of apparel assortments in South African speciality storesVan Belkum, Mareli January 2016 (has links)
Consumer behaviour and spending habits have changed drastically post-recession. This has affected how retailers conduct their business, driving retailers’ focus towards providing customers with the value they require. One way in which retailers can offer such value is through the implementation of advanced product assortment. Product assortments influence consumers’ purchasing decisions and their preferences for particular retailers, thereby making it an important factor in retailers’ strategy to maintain their success. Retailers’ product assortments which focus on male apparel consumers, such as speciality stores, are of particular importance as men represent a lucrative segment of the apparel industry. Speciality stores specialise in specific merchandise such as menswear and develop their apparel assortment to concentrate on certain customers such as male consumers. Although men are becoming more prevalent in retail venues and have taken responsibility for their own apparel shopping, research regarding male apparel consumers and their purchasing behaviour, particularly within the context of South Africa, is scarce. The purpose of this study was to explore and describe the product attributes used by male consumers when evaluating apparel product assortment of South African speciality stores.
The evaluation stage of the decision making process formed the basis of this study. Therefore, it was decided that the consumer decision making framework would be best suited as the theoretical framework. Namely, the consumer behaviour model of Hawkins and Mothersbaugh (2013) was used to guide the study. During the evaluation stage of the consumer decision making process, male consumers will use product attributes they consider important when evaluating the product assortment of speciality stores. Product attributes include intrinsic and extrinsic product attributes and male apparel consumers will employ the use of compensatory decision rules, allowing them to make trade-offs among these attributes.
The study employed an exploratory survey research design which was quantitative in nature. Non-probability sampling methods were used to collect the necessary data for the study. This included convenience and snowball sampling. Respondents completed a structured questionnaire which was developed according to the constructs implemented in the study and administered in a paper based and online electronic form. The sample included 204 male consumers, located in the greater Tshwane area, Gauteng. The majority of the sample were between the ages of 20-29, representing a relatively young sample. Conjoint analysis and exploratory factor analysis was applied to gain insight regarding the product attributes South African male apparel consumers apply when evaluating speciality stores’ product assortment. The conjoint analysis technique allows consumers to make trade-offs among attributes as they compare one attribute to another while evaluating assortments, thereby providing an indication of their actual preference structure. Cluster analysis was also performed on the conjoint data to provide additional information regarding male consumers’ preferences when evaluating speciality stores’ product assortment. By combining conjoint analysis with cluster analyses, the findings provided valuable information regarding the segmentation and socio-economic factors that may affect consumers’ preferences.
The results of the study indicated that South African male consumers employed both intrinsic and extrinsic product attributes when evaluating speciality stores’ product assortment. During the conjoint analysis, brand (extrinsic attribute) was the most important attribute among male consumers when making trade-offs between intrinsic and extrinsic product attributes. Male consumers’ preference for brand is an indication of brand consciousness. Style (intrinsic attribute) was the second most preferred attribute, followed by store image (extrinsic attribute). The exploratory factor analysis rendered three factors, labelled “Prestige sensitivity”, “Added value” and “Importance of fit”. These factors were a further indication of the evaluative criteria male consumers consider important when evaluating and selecting speciality stores’ product assortment. The results from the cluster analysis identified a four cluster solution, namely: style guys, cluster origin guys, brand loyalist and colour guys. This demonstrates that different consumer groups have distinct preferences when evaluating speciality stores’ product assortment. The study adds value and insight to current literature regarding male consumer behaviour and their preferences for certain intrinsic and extrinsic product attributes when evaluating speciality stores’ product assortment. This research can be beneficial to manufacturers, retailers and marketers who seek to enhance their merchandise mix by offering customised product assortments, improve advertising campaigns and ensure well trained sales staff. / Dissertation (MConsumer Science)--University of Pretoria, 2016. / Consumer Science / MConsumer Science / Unrestricted

Do you care, men? Examining the factors that influence men’s attitude towards natural personal care products in Germany and attitude’s impact on purchase intention.Ambaum, Isabel, Demir, Zeynep January 2020 (has links)
The growing consciousness of consumers towards buying products that contain mainly natural ingredients and do not harm the health and the environment drives the growth of the natural personal care market. Additionally, men nowadays care more about their image and self-presentation which lead to an increase of the natural personal care products offered for men. As the drug store market in Germany is highly competitive, marketers need to understand the factors influencing men’s purchase decision. The attitude of consumers is an elemental influence factor on purchase intention that could lead to the actual behaviour as it predicts the intention to purchase a product. Therefore, this thesis investigates the factors influencing men’s attitude towards natural personal care products and attitude’s impact on purchase intention, particularly in the German market. This has been done through the development of an own theoretical model whereas the main idea was taken from the TPB model. Afterwards, it was extended by factors that influence attitude which were identified through literature review. To meet the purpose of this study, data were collected through a quantitative online survey which generated 207 valuable responses. In order to analyse the relationships between the different variables, descriptive statistics, factor analyses, Pearson correlation analyses as well as linear and multiple regression analyses were used. The findings of this study provide new insights about the predictors of attitude: German male consumers’ attitude towards natural personal care products is mainly predicted by their consciousness about the environment and subjective norms whereas health consciousness and product knowledge were identified to be no predictors. Moreover, the study confirmed attitude as a strong predictor for intention which is supported by the idea of the TPB model and findings in previous literature. The respondents of this study are environmentally conscious and are influenceable by others. Furthermore, they have an overall positive attitude towards natural personal care products and intent to some extent to purchase these products in the future. The study’s results provide a variety of theoretical and managerial implications as well as opportunities for future research.

Profiling male apparel consumers : demographic characteristics, lifestyle, shopping orientation, patronage behaviour and shopping mall behaviourZietsman, Lucille 04 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MVerbruikerswet)--University of Stellenbosch, 2006. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The retail environment in South Africa is dynamic and complex. The apparel retailing industry
functions within an emergent economic milieu, and the consumers it targets are exposed to various
factors that influence their shopping behaviour. Some of these factors are shopping orientation,
patronage behaviour, lifestyle, and shopping mall behaviour. Male apparel shopping behaviour can
therefore be regarded as a complex phenomenon. The aim of this study was to identify those factors
that influence male apparel shopping behaviour and to determine whether distinct clusters of male
apparel shoppers could be identified.
Theoretical models in the study discipline of Consumer Behaviour were investigated. The information
was synthesised into an expanded conceptual model of variables influencing male apparel shopping
behaviour. The variables that are relevant to this study, include demographic characteristics, lifestyle,
shopping orientation, patronage behaviour, and shopping mall behaviour.
Information for this exploratory study was generated by means of a store-intercept interview. The
questionnaire was based on previous research. Trained fieldworkers conducted the interviews with
297 male apparel shoppers. Eight lifestyle components were identified and labelled as follows:
Apparel oriented lifestyle; Performing arts defined lifestyle; Media oriented lifestyle; Socialising
lifestyle; Sport oriented lifestyle; Published information oriented lifestyle; Relaxing oriented lifestyle as
well as Family/community oriented lifestyle. The three shopping orientation components identified
were labelled Local store patronage; Credit prone, Brand conscious and fashion innovating; as well as
Shopping self-confidence and enjoyment.
Four cluster profiles of male apparel shoppers were formed by means of cluster analysis, according to
the eight lifestyles components and three shopping orientation components, as well as the 11
patronage behaviour items. Demographic characteristics describing each cluster profile completed the
typology of the four male apparel shopper groups. Cluster 1 was the largest (38%) and was labelled
Traditionalists. Its members were classified under Consumer Scope Lifestyle Level 4. Cluster 2 was
labelled Shopping enthusiasts, and its members were classified under Consumer Scope Lifestyle
Level 3; they comprised 19% of the total group. Cluster 3 was the second largest (30%) cluster and
was identified as Dynamics, and its members were classified under Consumer Scope Lifestyle Level 3 and 4. Cluster 4 (13%) was labelled as Laggards, and its members were classified under Consumer
Scope Lifestyle Level 2. It was evident that the male apparel market is not homogeneous and that it
could be clustered into distinct segments of male apparel shoppers with similar characteristics.
The following can be regarded as the main implications for retailers, shopping mall management, and
marketers:
• In order to make retailers’ marketing plan more focused and strategic, marketers could make use
of the proposed expanded conceptual model that provides them with an overall view of variables
influencing male apparel shopping behaviour within a shopping mall environment. The identified
profiles of male apparel shoppers could serve as point of departure when composing marketing
strategies.
• Advertising and promotional campaigns must be versatile in order to cater for the identified cluster
profiles of male apparel consumers.
• Male apparel consumers behave differently within different retail stores and shopping malls.
Retailers and shopping mall management should therefore attempt to understand their
consumers’ needs, wants and, more importantly, prerequisites for patronising their stores and/or
shopping malls.
South African male apparel consumers should not be considered a homogenous group. Further
research should be done across various cultural and ethnic groups, as well as across different gender
and age groups. This study focused only on a few concepts pertaining to male apparel shoppers aged
20-35. As, a result, further research is needed to assess the impact of these variables on a wider
spectrum of apparel consumers, such as males outside this age demarcation, females or teenagers,
and mature shoppers. Recommendations for future research were made which can guide and
encourage further scientific research in the field of apparel shopping behaviour. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Suid-Afrika beskik oor ‘n dinamiese en komplekse kleinhandelomgewing. Die klerekleinhandelindustrie
funksioneer binne ‘n ontwikkelende ekonomiese milieu, en ‘n verskeidenheid
faktore beinvloed die teikenverbruikers se koopgedrag. Sommige van die faktore is koop-oriëntasie,
winkelvoorkeurgedrag, lewenstyl en winkelsentrumgedrag. Mansklerekoopgedrag kan dus as a
komplekse verskynsel beskou word. Die doel van hierdie studie was om die veranderlikes wat
mansklerekoopgedrag beïnvloed te identifiseer, en om te bepaal of die onderskeibare groepe van
mansklereverbruikers geïdentifiseer kan word.
Teoretiese modelle in die studieveld van Verbruikergedrag is bestudeer. Die inligting is verfyn en
verder ontwikkel tot ‘n omvattende konseptuele model van veranderlikes wat mansklerekoopgedrag
beïnvloed. Die veranderlikes relevant vir hierdie studie sluit in: die demografiese eienskappe,
lewenstyl, kooporiëntasie, winkelvoorkeurgedrag, asook winkelsentrumgedrag.
Data vir hierdie verkennende studie is verkry deur respondente in winkels te nader vir ‘n onderhoud
(store intercept interview). Die vraelys is op vorige navorsing gebaseer. Opgeleide veldwerkers het
297 onderhoude gevoer met mansklereverbruikers. Agt lewenstylkomponente is geïdentifiseer en
soos volg benoem: Klere-georiënteerde lewenstyl; Uitvoerende kunste-georënteerde lewenstyl; Mediageoriënteerde
lewenstyl; Sosialiserings-georiënteerde lewenstyl; Sport-georiënteerde lewenstyl;
Gepubiseerde informasie-georiënteerde lewenstyl; Ontspannings-georiënteerde lewenstyl asook
Familie/gemeenskaps-georiënteerde lewenstyl. Die drie kooporiëntasie-komponente was benoem as
plaaslike winkelvoorkeuroriëntasie; krediet-geneigdheid, handelsmerk en mode-innoverende
oriëntasie, asook aankoop-selfvertroue en genot-oriëntasie.
Vier groepe profiele van mansklereverbruikers is deur middel van trosanalise gevorm. Die trosanalise
is gedoen op grond van die agt lewenstylkomponente, die drie kooporiëntasie komponente asook die
11 winkelvoorkeurgedrag-items. Die tipering van die vier groepe is afgerond deur die demografiese
eienskappe: Groep 1 was die grootste (38%) en is Traditionalists genoem, en is geklassifiseer as
Consumer Scope Lifestyle Level 4. Groep 2 is Shopping enthusiasts genoem en maak 19% van die
totale groep uit. Hulle is geklassifiseer as Consumer Scope Lifestyle Level 3. Groep 3 was die tweede
grootste (30%) groep en is Dynamics genoem, en is geklassifiseer as Consumer Scope Lifestyle Levels 3 en 4. Groep 4 (13%) is Laggards genoem en geklassifiseer as Consumer Scope Lifestyle
Level 2. Dit is dus duidelik dat die mansklere-aankopersmark nie homogeen is nie en dat hulle in
onderskeibare segmente van mansklere-aankopers met ooreenkomstige eienskappe gegroepeer kan
word.
Die volgende kan beskou word as die belangrikste implikasies vir kleinhandelaars,
winkelsentrumbestuur en bemarkers:
• Om kleinhandelaars se bemarkingsplan ‘n meer gefokusde en strategiese wending te gee, kan
hulle gebruik maak van die voorgestelde uitgebreide konseptuele model wat hul van ‘n oorsig
voorsien oor die veranderlikes wat mansklere-aankoopgedrag binne ‘n winkelsentrumomgewing
beïnvloed. Die geïdentifiseerde profiele van mansklere-aankopers kan as vertrekpunt dien
wanneer bemarkingstrategieë saamgestel word.
• Advertensie- en promosieveldtogte moet veelsydig wees om vir die geïdentifiseerde groepe van
mansklereverbruikers of -aankopers te voorsien.
• Mansklereverbruikers toon verskillende soorte gedrag in verskillende kleinhandelwinkels en
winkelsentrums. Kleinhandelaars en winkelsentrumbestuur moet ‘n poging aanwend om hul
verbruikers se behoeftes en begeertes, maar bowenal in hul voorkeurgedrag vir
winkels/winkelsentrums, te voorsien.
Suid-Afrikaanse mansklereverbruikers moet nie as ‘n homogene groep beskou word nie. Verdere
navorsing moet oor verskeie kulturele en etniese groepe heen, asook oor verskillende geslags- en
ouderdomsgroepe, gedoen word. Hierdie studie fokus alleenlik op ‘n paar konsepte wat betrekking het
op mansklereverbruikers tussen 20 en 35 jaar. Gevolglik word verdere navorsing benodig om die
impak van hierdie veranderlikes op ‘n wyer spektrum van verbruikers te beraam, byvoorbeeld mans
buite die ouderdomsperk, vrouens, tienderjariges, en bejaarde verbruikers. Aanbevelings vir
toekomstige navorsing word gemaak wat verdere wetenskaplike navorsing in die studieveld van klereaankoopgedrag
kan rig en aanmoedig.
