This document discusses theories of personality and consumer behavior, including:
1) Personality is influenced by both consistent traits and situational factors. It is used in lifestyle segmentation.
2) Freud's psychoanalytic theory proposes the id, ego, and superego influence behavior. Neo-Freudians emphasized social relationships.
3) Brands can have distinct personalities that build loyalty through authentic representation of traits. Consumers anthropomorphize brands.

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.
2. Personality
Personality refers to a person’s unique psychological makeup and how it
consistently influences the way a person responds to his or her environment.
1) There has been debate about whether personality changes with situations and
circumstances. Do people appear to act consistently? Research results are mixed.
2) Even though inconsistencies have been found in personality research, it still
continues to be included in marketing strategies.
3) Personality dimensions are usually employed in concert with a person’s
choices of leisure activities, political outlook, aesthetic tastes, and other
individual factors to segment consumers in terms of lifestyles.
3. Consumer Behavior on the Couch: Freudian
Theory
Sigmund Freud developed the idea that much of one’s adult personality stems from
a fundamental conflict between a person’s desire to gratify his or her physical
needs and the necessity to function as a responsible member of society. His
principles (note that these terms do not refer to physiological portions of the consumer’s
brain) included:
1) The id (which is entirely oriented toward immediate gratification). It operates
on the pleasure principle (behavior guided by the primary desire to maximize
pleasure and avoid pain).
a) The id is selfish.
b) The id is illogical (it acts without regard to consequences).
2) The superego (which is the counterweight to the id). It is a person’s conscience.
a) It internalizes society’s rules.
b) It works to prevent the id from seeking selfish gratification.
4. Consumer Behavior on the Couch:
Freudian Theory
3) The ego (which is the system that mediates between the id and the superego).
The ego tries to balance these two opposing forces according to the reality
principle, whereby it finds ways to gratify the id that will be acceptable to the
outside world. Much of this battle occurs in the unconscious mind.
b. The Freudian perspective hints that the ego relies on symbolism in products to
make the compromise between the demands of the id and the prohibitions of the
superego.
c. There is a connection between product symbolism and motivation (according to
Freudian theory).
5. Consumer Behavior on the Couch: Freudian
Theory
d. The first attempts to apply Freudian ideas to understand the deeper meanings of
products and advertisements were made in the 1950s and were known as
motivational research.
1) This research focused on interpretations from the subconscious (unconscious
motives). This form of research relies on depth interviews with individual
consumers.
2) Ernest Dichter pioneered this form of interview.
3) Motivational research was attacked for two reasons:
a) Some felt that it does work, in fact, it worked too well. It gave marketers
the power to manipulate.
b) Others felt that the analysis technique lacked rigor and validity.
4) Positives were that:
a) It was less expensive than traditional forms of motivational research.
b) It was thought to aid in marketing communications.
c) Some of the findings seem intuitively plausible after the fact.
6. Neo-Freudian Theories
Those who studied after Freud felt that an individual’s personality was more
influenced by how he or she handled relationships with others than by unresolved
sexual conflicts. Famous advocates of this thought-path (Neo-Freudians) were:
1) Karen Horney—she proposed that people can be described as moving toward
others (compliant), away from others (detached), or against others
(aggressive).
a) Alfred Adler—proposed that many actions are motivated by people’s desire
to overcome feelings of inferiority relative to others.
b) Harry Stack Sullivan—focused on how personality evolves to reduce
anxiety in social relationships.
7. Neo-Freudian Theories
Carl Jung—developed analytical psychology. He believed people were shaped
by the cumulative experiences of past generations. Central to his ideas was the
collective unconscious (a storehouse of memories inherited from our
ancestral past).
a) Shared memories create archetypes—universally shared ideas and
behavior patterns.
b) These memories would be about birth, death, and the devil (as shown in
myths, stories, and dreams).
•Some brands have personalities. The measuring of such personalities has been
problematic. Various methods have been used, including the Brand Asset Archetypes model
used by Young & Rubicam.
8. Trait Theory
One approach to personality is to focus on the quantitative measurement of
traits or identifiable characteristics that define a person. Common traits are:
1) Extroversion and introversion
2) Innovativeness
3) Materialism
4) Self-consciousness
5) Need for cognition
6) Frugality
7) Environmental Consciousness (new trait)
9. Brand Personality
Products, like consumers, have personalities. A brand personality is the set of traits
people attribute to a product as if it were a person.
1) Brand equity refers to the extent that a consumer holds strong, favorable, and
unique associations about a brand in memory. Examples of personality
dimensions include old fashioned, wholesome, traditional, and lively, among
others.
2) Consumers seem to have little difficulty in assigning personality qualities to
all sorts of inanimate products.
10. Brand Personality
3) Forging a successful brand personality is key to building brand loyalty but it is
often difficult. Many younger consumers can detect if a brand is not living up to its
claims and is inauthentic. As a result, consumers rebel and today they vent on the
Internet. Researchers call this the “Doppelganger brand image” – one that looks like
the original but is in fact a critique of it.
4) The creation and communication of a distinctive brand personality is one of
the primary ways marketers can make a product stand out from the competition
and inspire years of loyalty to it. This is called animism (whereby inanimate
objects are given qualities that make them somehow alive). It is an old
practice.
Consumers tend to anthropomorphize objects, in other words give them human
characteristics.
11. Lifestyle: what we are, what we do
Lifestyle refers to a pattern of consumption reflecting a person’s choices of how he
or she spends time and money. It is (in an economic sense) how one elects to
allocate income.
1) A lifestyle marketing perspective recognizes that people sort him- or herself into groups
on the basis of the things they like to do, how they like to spend their
leisure time, and how they choose to spend their disposable income.
2) These choices create marketing opportunities and chances for segmentation.
12. Life style
3) Lifestyles can be thought of as group identities. It is more than economics and
income disposal choices.
a) Lifestyle is a statement of who one is and who one is not.
b) Other terms used to describe lifestyle are:
1. Taste public
2. Consumer group
3. Symbolic community
4. Status culture
c) Lifestyles are not set in stone unlike deep-seated values discussed in
Chapter 4.
d) One emerging lifestyle segment is the “Urban Consumer.” These are generally
18-34 year olds mostly African American and are into the hip-hop culture.
13. 1) Co-branding strategies are used by marketers to combine
products that appeal to similar patterns of behavior.
2) Product complementarity occurs when the symbolic meanings
of different products are related to each other.
3) These products, termed consumption constellations, are used
by consumers to define, communicate, and perform social
roles.
14. Psychographics involves the use of psychological, sociological, and
anthropological factors to determine how the market is segmented by the
propensity of groups within the market (and their reasons) to make a particular
decision about a product, person, ideology, or otherwise hold an attitude or use a
medium.
15. 1) Psychographics can help a marketer fine-tune its offerings to meet the needs
of different segments.
2)The roots of psychographics were in:
a) Motivational research, which involves intensive one-to-one interviews and
projective tests (yields a lot of information on a few people).
b) Quantitative survey research (at the other extreme) that uses large-scale
demographic research techniques.
3) Psychographics is often used interchangeably with lifestyle.
4) Psychographics focuses on why people buy. Demographics tells us who buys.
