    product. According to the Society of Consumer Psychology, consumer psychology

    "employs theoretical psychological approaches to understand consumers" (Cherry,

    2001, p.1).

    As we study marketing and consumer behavior there are four main consumer

    applications of consumer behavior to consider: Marketing Strategy, Public Policy, Social

    Marketing, and Common Sense Buying. With Marketing Strategy, businesses want to

    make every effort to present better marketing campaigns. For example, scheduling food

    advertisements at a time of day when consumers are most likely to be hungry. Public

    Policy involves the Federal Drug Administration taking steps to ensure the safety of

    products before being sold to consumers. Social Marketing is just as important because

    it involves getting ideas across to consumers instead of just selling them a product. In

    other words, it gives consumers something to base their purchase upon. Lastly, you

    have Common Sense Marketing. With Common Sense Marketing, consumers consider

    the quantity, size, and price of items in order to get the better deal at the best price.

    Regardless of the marketing technique or strategy, all businesses have one thing in

    mind and that is the need to understand their consumers. With consumer knowledge,

    businesses develop products and marketing campaigns that attract a specific audience;

    an audience that will eventually purchase the product the business is offering.

    Marketing research use a wide range of information to learn about the consumer

    and their product preference. For example, according to Perreault, Cannon, & McCarthy

    (2010), Marketing research involves analyzing consumers age, income, education

    level, and tastes. With marketing research, there are a number of things to consider

    about the consumers, for example:

    4/36

    Shoppers Beware: The Power of MarketingDebra Hendricks and Amanda Allen

    Who buys your products?

    How will they buy?

    When and where will they buy?

    Why do they buy?

    How do they respond to marketing stimuli? (Perreault, et al, 2010).

    Marketing research is a must when it comes to marketing products; however, it has

    some disadvantages. For one thing, it can be costly and require a lot of time to gather

    data and information. The information can be bias and/or distorted, but overall

    marketing research can be a very beneficial tool. The research allows companies to

    know what they can design, and implement marketing strategies to satisfy the

    customers (Perreault, et al, 2010). With both advantages and disadvantages,

    marketing research is needed to provide focus and organization to marketing products

    successfully.

    Because of the marketing research, businesses realize that the habitual buying

    habits of consumers are repetitious. According to Wood and Neal, (2009), Consumers

    tend to buy the same brands of products across different shopping episodes, purchase

    the same amount at a given retail store across repeat visits, and eat similar types of

    foods at a meal across days (p.1). Knowing this information, the businesses know how

    to market their product and create advertising campaigns. In other words, their

    advertising will be geared strictly to enticing consumers into a particular product market.

    Once customers are manipulated into repeatedly purchasing a product they are now

    linked with increases in market share of a brand, customer lifetime valu e, and share of

    wallet (Wood & Neal, 2009).

    A big part of marketing research and consumer psychology is store layout,

    design, and visual merchandising. For example, the store layout and visual

    merchandising contributes to consumer appeal. The exterior and interior design of a

    store such as the lighting, music, displays, and anything to attract the senses of the

    consumer is intended to persuade the customer to participate in the purchasing power

    of products. According to Stanton (2011), there are three psychological factors to

    consider in merchandising stores: Value/fashion image, angles and sightlines, and

    vertical color blocking. Value/fashion image involves the businesses promoting certain

    trends and fashions to a specific group of people. With angles and sightlines, the

    businesses are setting up their stores to make them more viewable, with less space,

    and easy access to consumers. Lastly, with vertical color blocking, the merchandise is

    displayed in vertical bands of color to make the merchandise more appealing and

    creates a visual effect that there is more merchandise for the consumers to purchase.

    Department, grocery and convenient stores across the country use store layouts

    and floor plans to entice consumers. According to Keller (2013), grocery stores create

    a general flow to their stores that keeps customers efficiently moving through the aisles

    and spending money. There is a definite science in every successful stores layout.

    Going back to grocery stores, studies have been done that show that the placement of a

    bakery, florist, or produce at the entrance of a store stimulates the senses, gives the

    perception of freshness, and gives consumers confidence in the quality of the store.

    High-demand items are often placed in the rear or in separate corners of a store. The

    psychology behind the product placement: consumers will have to travel through other

    aisles of products to get to the essentials. Strategically placing products on shelves has

  • 7/28/2019 Shoppers Beware The power of marketing FINAL COPY.pdf

    6/36

    Shoppers Beware: The Power of MarketingDebra Hendricks and Amanda Allen

    Page 6 of 36

    also been studied by consumer psychologists and marketing researchers. The cheaper

    store and generic brands, along with bulk items, are located on the bottom shelves out

    of eye sight. The middle shelves that are at eye level are designated for the best sellers

    and leading brands. Gourmet, local and smaller brands are usually placed on the top

    shelf. For stores that target consumers with kids, products for children are placed in

    direct line sight for them. Therefore, businesses design their aisles and shelves based

    on their target groups and the research conducted on their consumers.

    Consumer psychology has been a specialty area for studying how consumers

    actions emotionally and physically influence their purchasing choices. Consumers often

    think they have the power when it comes to buying items because they look for sales

    and search for the better buy and then make their purchase. However, in reality it has

    been the businesses use of consumer psychology and marketing research which

    analyze consumers' product preference and buying habits. With this information,

    businesses have learned how to design floor plans and present merchandise in a way

    to entice and persuade the consumer to purchase. The power is actually in the power of

    science; the science which studies the psychological, emotional, and social needs and

    habits of the consumer.

    CONNECTION TO THE THEME

    As you know "Power" can have many meanings such as the force of something

    or to possess control or authority, but in the marketing industry "power" is the ability to

    influence and change the way a person thinks or feels about a product. In other words,

    power and knowledge of human behavior and how one acts as it relates to sales and

    products gives companies power to influence consumers' behavior without them even

    realizing the effect.

    A product alone will not sell or gain the desirable attention of a consumer, but

    with the right marketing techniques and knowledge of consumer psychology, a business

    can manipulate the consumers decision and buying preference. Consumer psychology

    and marketing research are key concepts to helping businesses understand their

    consumers and how to produce and market their products in order to gage a specific

    audience. With this in mind, our unit "Shoppers Beware: The Power of Marketing" will

    relate to the theme of "power" because marketing has become a great persuasive tool.

    Businesses have already researched consumer behavior and spending habits. They

    use this knowledge to plan their marketing strategies in order to market products to a

    specific audience. They use powerful persuasive tools to appeal to the consumers

    emotions and personal needs. With these techniques, consumers purchase products

    without knowing why and sometimes products that they dont even need. All of this is

    due to powerful marketing strategies use by the businesses to transform consumer

    behavior, for example, changing the way the consumer thinks or feels about the

    product.

    Along with marketing is product placement and floor layout which are other tools

    to gain attention of certain products and solicit a purchase. Advertising is also another

    way to have power or influence the consumers thinking and purchasing preference. For

    example, advertising is geared strictly to enticing consumers into a particular product

    market. Once consumers are manipulated into repeatedly purchasing a product, they

    are now linked with increases in market share of a brand, customer lifetime value, and

    share of wallet (Wood & Neal, 2009).

    TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION

    Technology has played a major role in the way businesses market products.

    Technology has certainly made its presence known in many stores, for example, the

    use of digital signs which businesses use to attract the consumers attention to market

    certain products. Our unit, "Shoppers Beware: The power of marketing" asks students

    to consider the many ways businesses use product displays and floor designs to entice

    consumers to purchase. Businesses know in this fast pace society that their marketing

    success is going to depend on technology, such as the internet and social media that

    reveal knowledge of consumer behavior and how to present a product or service to

    consumers. In this unit, students will venture into the broad scope of consumer

    psychology and marketing research and learn the many tricks of the trade. To their

    surprise, students will realize that all businesses organizations, department stores, and

    supermarkets use some form of psychological strategies to influence the spending of

    consumers.

    In this unit, students will begin Day One by studying a photo of a checkout

    counter display on the smartboard. This photo, followed by discussion questions, will

    lead students into critically thinking about the design and setup of products within a

    store. Also, on day one the students will view sections of a short video clip "Costco

    Craze: Inside the warehouse giant." This gives students a real world example of the

    effects of floor design, product placement, and consumer spending. Students will see

    first-hand how the psychological behavior of consumers play a huge role in the success

    of businesses as they think of ways to influence the spending habits of consumers. At

    Page 10 of 36

    the end of Day One, students will review their answers to the hook and make

    connections with the photo and what they learned about from the video.

    To provide further knowledge and understanding of the importance of floor

    design and product placement, on Day Two, for the hook students will view Hobart

    Virtual Grocery Store at the link http://www.hobartcorp.com/virtual-grocery-store/ . With

    this virtual grocery store, students can view the floor plan of a grocery store and see

    where everything is located. Students will be able to maneuver from one section to the

    next and see colorful pictures of the merchandise. This will give them an idea of product

    placement and how every arrangement is geared to entice consumers to make

    purchases. This virtual grocery store gives students a hands-on experience with a

    grocery store floor plan. This activity will also encourage students to think as they are

    given questions in regards to placing certain departments in the front of the store versus

    the rear. Also, students will be introduced to the power of the senses when designing a

    store layout. Further support technology support will be supplied through a quick video

    from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjgkQ6bg7aE that will take you into a grocery

    store. This video is very informative as it discusses the psychology used to manipulate

    the supermarket environment to persuade us to enter, stay, and buy.

    On day two, the students will usehttp://kwiksurveys.comto assess the marketing

    plan template to complete their marketing plan. This plan will help students to determine

    a target group as they prepare to create their floor plan. Also, On Day two, the students

    will be exposed to SmartDraw. This is to prepare them for the rest of the week to create

    their own floor plan and product display. This is an interactive tool that will introduce

    students to various floor plan examples. Students will be able to select various charts

    and floor plan options to create their own department store floor plan. SmartDraw will

    allow students to have an electronic version of the floor plans and product displays

    before making the hands-on model. SmartDraw will give students an opportunity to

    demonstrate their creativity and their ability to navigate through various tools to create

    their plans. SmartDraw will also help students to have a more accurate drawing of their

    floor design while making it easier for students working in groups to complete the task.

    On Day Three, students will follow their engaging hook activity with product

    placement on shelves by watching a video from

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQ20W1QGJmg. This video is an interview of a child

    and her recent purchase of Dora the Explorer gummies at a grocery store. This

    interview will show the power of product placement when geared to a specific target

    group, such as children. SmartDraw will be used again on Day 3 and will continue on to

    Day Four.

    The resources within this unit are intended to help students to realize the power

    of marketing and reveal to them the science involved in every purchase the consumers

    make. With the technology that we have today, it makes it easier for students to see just

    how they are being manipulated. At the same time, through the use of technology,

    consumers are being persuaded to make choices they may not have made otherwise.

    The technology that we have included puts the power in our hands as we are able to

    show how consumers spend through the use of marketing strategies while making our

    students more aware about their spending habits the next time they enter a store.

    HOOKDescribe howyou will grabstudents

    attention at thebeginning ofthe lesson. BeCREATIVE.

    TIME: 5 minutesThe hook will consist of the questions being posed:

    Display the following picture of a register display and ask the students to

    study the picture for a total of 30 seconds.

    After removing the picture from the screen, ask the students to answer thefollowing questions independently on a given sheet of paper:

    1. What items from the picture captured your attention?

    2. What characteristics made those particular items appealing to you?

    3. Of the items that attracted your attention, which one would you most

    likely purchase?

    INSTRUCTIONExplain Step-by-step whatyou will do inthis lesson.Include ALLsupport andteaching

    TIME: 45 mins1. Get to know you activity Students will create name cards with their

    name in the center and draw four items that they have recently

    purchased, or that their parents have purchased for them, that

    describe them. We will keep these name tags for an activity later in the

    week. See example:

    video will give students an idea about research that takes place to lure

    consumers into stores and get them to follow a certain pattern of

    behavior in order to make a purchase.

    6. After viewing the videos, have students discuss the following

    questions: Why did people purchase more than they intended? What

    strategies did you notice? Why do you think the Cosco Craze is

    successful?

    7. In small groups, students will use a T-chart on chart paper to list on the

    left side the strategies that were mentioned in the video or observed by

    the student. Then, on the right students will tell why the strategy was

    successful and why were consumers influenced by that strategy.

    Students will share their results and post their T-charts around the

    room.

    Cosco Strategies

    Strategies Used Why was the strategy

    successful?

    8. To further students understanding of marketing strategies that they are

    unaware of, we will show visuals printed on large poster board and

    displayed within the classroom. Students will view pictures of various

    store designs, and as a class discuss the different product displays

    within the stores and think about strategies the companies used to get

    consumers to purchase the item(s).

    9. Revisit the hook questions. Have students find a partner to pair and

    share their answers from the hook. Give them 2-3 minutes to share
