Positioning based on Market Research

Description
It covers the basics of Research.Then this ppt explains how to use this data using SPSS and excel to come up with positioning maps.It makes a P Map using MDS(multi dimensional scaling) and SPSS software.

Positioning based on market research

What is Positioning???

It is a process by which marketers try to create an image or identity in the minds of their target market for its product, service or organization As per Marketing Guru AL Ries & Jack Trout it is “Battle for Mind of the consumer”

Management Problem

Given the current market & industry scenario, analyse the number and nature of dimensions consumers use to percieve different brands of small cars in the market place.
7

Research Objective

To understand consumer?s perception of the small segment cars in the Indian market and positioning of current brands on these dimensions & suggest suitable positioning strategies for a new entrant in the market

8

Variables

Independent : Customer perception Dependant : Positioning of Car in small segment

Independent Variables

Perception of Existing Brands Attributes of Small Cars Fuel Efficiency Spaciousness Price Looks After sales Service. Availability Resale Value.
10

Past Research
Primary Data A questionnaire was prepared and gathered from sample population Secondary Data Company websites Past research reports Marketing Journals On the basis of a past survey, the important attributes for a small car were understood.

11

Attributes

Attributes
4 key attributes were identified by Market Research, based on past data Respondents were then asked to rank these 4 key attributes
Attribute Price Spaciousness Fuel Efficiency Maintenance Ranking 1 2 3 4

Input Data for tool used
Input Data

Perceptions

Preferences

Direct (Similarity Judgments)

Derived (Attribute Ratings)

13

Input Data - Questionnaire

Aim – To understand Perceptions in consumers mind

A questionnaire – divided in 3 parts 1. Self Information – age, sex, occupation (not related to research)
2. Perception data – with Direct Approach 3. Perception data – Derived Approach

14

Sample Information

Sample Size : 50 Nos Occupation : Service/ Business. Male : 34 Female : 16 Nos. Potential Buyers Age Group : 25 – 70 years. Location : Mumbai Method of Sampling : Convenience.

15

Tool Used

Multidimensional Scaling
class of procedures for representing perceptions and preferences of respondents spatially by means of visual display.

Perceived or Psychological relationships among stimuli (brands) are
represented as geometric points called „spatial maps?

16

USE OF MDS

Image measurement. ?Market Segmentation. ?Product Positioning. ?New Product development. ?Assessing Advertisement effectiveness. ?Channel Decisions ?Attitude Scale Construction. ?Pricing Analysis.

Perception Data-Direct Approach

Respondents judged the similarities / dissimilarities of various brands using their own criteria (using Semantic Differential Scale)
Resp -1
Very Dissimilar 1 Wagon R VS Santro Wagon R VS Spark Wagon R VS Alto Santro VS Spark Santro VS Alto Alto Vs Spark 3 4 6 4 5 2 3 4 5 6 Very Similar 7

Perception Data-Derived Approach

Respondents rate brands on identified attributes Eg : Rating of Alto

MDS & SPSS

Using SPSS, MDS is run Spatial maps obtained for each respondent

Important parameters
R- Square Goodness of fit measure. Indicates how well MDS model fits input data. Higher values better and values > 0.60 acceptable

S- Stress value. Lack of fit measure. Higher value of stress indicate poorer fits. Differ with type of MDS procedure & data being analysed.
