How Does Branding Affect Consumer Buying Behaviour?

Years ago, most people thought that it would remain impossible to click a button and place an order to buy something. Today about “195 million online American consumers” order take-out, book hotels, flights or even grocery shop (Weinstein 1). Many people can pay bills and transfer money to other people through a click of a button on their smartphone. 100,000 online consumers took a survey to reveal that most people preferred online shopping than physical shopping. 73% said it “[was] time saving” and also 58% of those people said they “liked it more because there were no crowds or lines.”(Weinstein 2). Consumers care more about the time used up than going to the store to look and try out the product in person. The internet offers a huge amount of choice and diversity in how people want to do things. But with the majority favoring online shopping, it just shows the laziness of our

A score of 80 was assigned to excellent ease of access, a score of 70 was assigned to a good ease of access response, a weight of 60 was assigned to a fair ease of access response and a weight of 50 was assigned an

Perceived service alternatives are defined as “other providers from whom the customer can obtain service” (Zeithaml et. al., 2013, p.59). If customers have several service providers to select from, or if they can provide the service themselves, then their levels of adequate service are greater than those who believe it is not possible to get superior service in another place (p.59).

The current research will be a cross-sectional study using data collected at a single point. This design will measure the attitudes and experiences of consumers. In practice, the study will include elements of descriptive and analytical. Using this method, a random sample of consumers will estimate the prevalence of satisfied consumers receiving services from January 1, 2015, to January 1, 2016 at PMBH-SCU. Additionally, cross-sectional approach will allow the study to investigate the association between consumer satisfaction and the effectiveness service coordinators. This research will be implemented on February 20, 2016. Thus, participating consumers’ length of services must fill between a year, and (or) approaching termination. This study will conduct one measurement and will provide a “snapshot” of client satisfaction and the characteristics associated with

In society today, everything has a name for it. If the product doesn’t have a well-known name, it goes by name that a well-known product that is similar goes by.

Service quality represents a fundamental aspect of delivery, which strongly influences consumer satisfaction and, as a result, loyalty. In today’s global market a customer’s service expectation has to be met and exceeded eventually in order to retain customers as well as achieve success. Perceived quality of a product or a service is becoming one of the major competitive factors in the business world and has led to the innovation of the ‘Quality Era’ (Peeler, 1996). In simple words, the comparison of customer expectations with service performance is service quality. On the other hand, customer satisfaction is defined as a pleasurable fulfilment response toward a good, service, benefit, or reward (Oliver, 1997). Both of these

Unpleasant waiting experience might accompany with customers go through the whole service process, which could lower the overall evaluation of service quality easily. Not only the queuing experience, a number of studies also investigated that queuing time in a service organization significantly influences consumer satisfaction. In general, increasing in waiting time is associated with decreasing in customer satisfaction (Katz, M.Larson & C.Larson, 1991). The graph (Dube, Renaghan & Miller, 1994) below shows the effect of waiting time on customer satisfaction in restaurant industry, and suggests that most consumers do not satisfied if the waiting time is longer than 8 minutes. In addition, another study (Jones & Dent, 1994) examined that 70% of respondents considered waiting time as a major
