Abstract— The aim of this research work is to classify the most favored brand of soap in New Delhi by recording signals using wireless EEG through Neuromarketing. A set of four major soap brand advertisements i.e. Pears, Lux, Cinthol and Dove are considered for this research. The advertisement (video) of above these brands are used to stimulate the subjects (9 male and 9 female with age range of 22-30 years) The response of the brain for the stimuli were composed using a 14 channel wireless headset which has a sampling frequency of about 128 Hz. The recorded signals are processed using fourth order Butterworth band pass filter. Then feature extraction is done to extract desired features from the EEG signal. The mean value and then power of mean value of each soap brand is calculated. The frequency spectrum of above soap brands is obtained through time-frequency analysis using Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT).The results so obtained are plotted in graphs for final analysis. The present experimental results are analysed and it is indicated that the subjects are mostly inspired on Dove brand of soap compared to other brands.

INTRODUCTION (Heading 1) Neuromarketing is a novel field of marketing research which is being used to study the consumer behavior such as their demands, needs and intentions of buying the products using neuro-scientific methods. The sensorimotor, cognitive, and emotional
Buyer’s behavior is strongly influenced by members of their family. Personal factors can also affect the consumer behavior. Some of the important personal factors that influence the buying behavior are: lifestyle, economic situation, occupation, age, personality and self-concept. Age and life-cycle have potential impact on the consumer buying behavior. The occupation of a person has significant impact on his buying behavior. Consumer economic situation has great influence on his buying behavior. If the income and savings of a customer is high then he will purchase more expensive products. On the other hand, a person with low income and savings will purchase inexpensive products. Lifestyle of customers is another import factor affecting the consumer buying behavior. There are four important psychological factors affecting the consumer buying behavior. These are: perception, motivation, learning, beliefs and attitudes. The level of motivation also affects the buying behavior of customers. Every person has different needs such as physiological needs, biological needs, and social needs. Customer possesses specific belief and attitude towards various products. Since such beliefs and attitudes make up brand image and affect consumer buying behavior; therefore, marketers are interested in them.
While doing the course we have learned the factors of influencing a buyer’s decision’s, learning, attitude, memory, self-concept and other important things. To implement all of those factors and to get practical experience Mr. Farhan Faruqui, the course instructor of Consumer Behavior, has given us this assignment on “Nando’s”.
The fundamental factors that were identified to develop the psychological processes include perception, learning, memory, thinking, emotion and motivation (Sternberg 1996). Following the structure of the SOR model, Howard first (1969) proposed the consumer decision-making model (Richarme, M., 2005), which was further developed to be the ‘Theory of Buyer Behaviour’ (Howard et al., 1973). The model considered environment stimulus as variables impacting consumes, and was triggered from various sources. These inputs included core elements of products such as price, quality that the buyer truly confronts (Loudon et al., 1993) as well as symbolic stimuli resulted from advertising. Besides, social stimuli including family, peer and other reference groups also influence consumers before entering the decision process (Foxall 1990). In contrast, Engel et al (1995) did not focus on environmental factors, but paid more attention to the hypothetical construction of the decision process that was the main organism being influenced by inputs. The entire organism was structured around a seven-point decision process: need recognition followed by an internally and externally information search, the evaluation of alternatives, purchase, post purchase reflection and disposal. Aligning with Howard (1973), mainly two factors significantly affected these decisions. First, market stimuli affected consumer’s information process which was
Marketing has become more and more important, especially as the purposes of marketing expanded into performing marketing researches. Through marketing researches, it is asserted that marketing starts with a real customer need. Classic marketing, has, nonetheless, focused on making the need that will draw customers, and this stresses the advertising power of marketing (Woodall 2007, p.1284). This is also called the sales concept of marketing (Woodall 2007, p.1285). An example is how advertising lures people into buying a brand, because of the
He is considered a marketing guru and is the recipient of TIME Magazine's "World's 100 Most Influential People". As an author, speaker, and advisor for top companies and their brands such as the McDonald’s Corporation, the Walt Disney Company, Nestle, Microsoft and many more, Martin Lindstrom is one of the world’s leading brand building experts. He is a best-selling author of six books including Buyology: Truth and Lies About Why We Buy, which appeared on the Top 10 bestsellers list worldwide. Lindstrom is behind the popularization of neuromarketing, a testing tool that allows researchers to go deep into a consumers minds to understand our emotions and how to target them for marketing. Lindstrom spent three years and $7 million researching what goes on in consumer’s brains, resulting in the largest collection of neuromarketing data ever.
Consumer psychology is very important to take in consideration. People has many tendencies when is time to purchase new items. These tendencies can be impulsive, therapist, or necessary. The study of consumer psychology will improve that consumer satisfaction in the time of new purchases or looking for that desire item. Not all items are purchases without the touch or the personal experience of seen it, but the media through the Internet creates new ways of marketing. Marketing communication is very essential to consumer so they can familiarize their favorites products with logos, words, or even colors. Consumer psychology and marketing communication work together in the recompilation of all the need to satisfy those consumers in all the terms.
According to Lim, Lee, & Pedersen (2010), based on schema theory, advertising researchers have pursued to measure the effectiveness of corresponding advertisement message type and product type. It is generally recognized that watching MMA program as consuming a hedonic product. They also insisted that emotional experience play a significant role in consuming for hedonic items (e.g., watching a movie, joining exercise) since emotional thinking and sensory stimulation are mainly used with low level of cognitive thinking. The hedonic paradigm is significant since it enables individuals’ experimental traits (e.g., pleasure, excitement) to be measured to gather advanced information about the emotions which lead their consumption and consumption attitude (Hirschman and Holbrook, 1982). Among diverse experimental factors, Ladhari (2007) has revealed that pleasure and arousal are main factors and relevant with consumer behavior. Prior literatures have also demonstrated that attitude toward and response to hedonic value can be affected by pleasure and arousal (Yu¨ksel, 2007). It is also proved that pleasure and arousal have impacted on purchasing satisfaction (Machleit & Wilson, 1988) and individuals’ attitudes toward ads (Yoo & Maclnnis,
Neuromarketing is one of the unique fields of marketing, which reveals the mysteries of consumer choice and behavior. It is a major activity of marketing research, which utilizes various methods and techniques related to the brain and measures how marketing is working. Neuromarketing defines what is going on in a consumer’s mind while experiencing any market stimulus and explains how the brain translates such reactions into consumer behaviors and decisions. Some of the major reactions of consumers explained by neuromarketing are switching loyalty and purchasing a new product. In an e-commerce environment, neuromarketing plays a crucial role of increasing conversion rates and number of visitors who turn into buyers. Most of the
This essay will discuss the definition of consumer psychology, and will describe the psychological concepts and their importance in developing a successful marketing communication message. It will further explain the relationship between consumer psychology and marketing communications.
The development of sensory science has also led to wider research into non sensory factors that affect consumer choice. These factors are regularly taken
Marketing is the process of planning and undertaking the idea of pricing, promotion, and distribution of goods and services to create and retain relationships that will satisfy individual and organisational objectives. It also deals with customers, understanding, communicating, and delivering consumer value and satisfaction. Also, individuals obtain what they need and want by creating and exchanging products with others. Exchange process involves work. Sellers must search for buyers, identify their needs, design good products, set prices to the product, promote and deliver them. However, individuals make decisions on how to spend their obtainable resources like money before purchasing any products. This is known as
The research in consumer behavior and psychology shows that the brand related information determines the probability if the customer will select a particular brand (Mitchell 100). Companies have learned to play with the psychology and emotions of consumers and have succeeded in attracting even those consumers that were not motivated by the traditional advertisements. Companies these days are focusing on the basic psychological principles to understand how to plan and execute the advertisement.
Rapidly growing consumer market and their cynical towards advertising give new challenge to marketer to find new ways to capture the attention of their audience.The omnipresence of IT , Supremacy of Brand and ubiquity of communication and entertainment have shifted company approach from “Feature and benefits “towards Experiential Marketing.
The neurological dynamics of olfaction are involved in how a consumer learns and processes their emotional states. Scent can be linked with an unconditioned stimulus, thereby producing a desirable emotional response, and eventually constructing a conditioned response over time (Rouby 2002). Marketers are recognising this phenomenon and using it to their advantages. For instance, Verizon developed a new brand of mobile phone, the Verizon Chocolate, and utilised an in-store strategy to circulate the
Consumer behavior is considered as the mental and emotional process and the observing behavior of consumers during searching, purchasing and post consumption of a product or service. Consumer behavior involves study of what they buy, why they buy, how they buy, and when they buy (Gupta & Shallu, 2013). From various sources, the past experience and state of mind, the consumer may determine the impact that advertising has on him/her. In an effort to improve messaging and to gain the audience’s attention, advertisers create some special moments to resonate the mind of the target customer and motivate the audience to purchase the advertised product or service (Chakrabortty, Hossain, Azad, & Jakirul, 2013).
