BUS350 Impact of self concept on consumer behavior
1-An individual’s self-concept is comprised of several facets, including identities and self-esteem. Review the impact of self-concept on consumer behavior in Chapter 6 of your textbook along with the concept of brand personality in Chapter 7 of your textbook. Then, reflect on how your purchasing decisions for a specific brand have been influenced by your own self-concept and that brand’s personality, providing examples where appropriate. Your journal entry should be at least 300 words in length.
2-The most effective marketing campaigns leverage message appeals to communicate with the audience. Begin by reading Chapter 8 of your text along with the article How Market Researchers Uncover the “Why” of Consumer Behavior (Links to an external site.). Then identify three advertisements and describe what types of message appeals they use. Finally, explain how market research relates to the type of message appeal used in each of the three advertisements and how these types of message appeals influence consumer behavior. For each advertisement, provide a 150-200 word description.
