Golf, Volkswagen
Objectives
This report aims at providing a concise consumer behavior analysis regarding to the Golf Volkswagen car.
Introduction
Consumer behavior is 'the behavior that consumers display in searching for, purchasing, using, evaluating and disposing of products that they expect will satisfy their needs.' (Schiffman, Kanuk, Consumer Behavior, 2010)
I selected the Golf car by Volkswagen as the subject of this study. We are going to analyze this offering in terms of consumer profile and factors influencing the decision making process.
To begin, i will provide a presentation of the likely target customer segments for the product including a short presentation of the company and the product and the segmentation tools used to identify the target. Then I will study the possible external factors that may influence the consumer when buying a Golf car, the typical buying process that he or she will go through when doing so and an analysis of Volkswagen current marketing mix for this model. I will finally make a few possible recommendations to improve the mix.
