Amelia is a marketing researcher and conducts studies to determine which evaluative criteria

consumers use in a given purchase situation, their judgments of brand performance on specific

criteria, and the relative importance they place on evaluative criteria. Explain how Amelia does

this.Determination of Which Evaluative Criteria Are Used. To determine which criteria are used by

consumers in a specific product decision, the marketing researcher can utilize either direct or indirect

methods of measurement. Direct methods include asking consumers what criteria they use in a

particular purchase or, in a focus group setting, noting what consumers say about products and their

attributes. Direct measurement techniques assume that consumers can and will provide data on the

desired attributes. Indirect measurement techniques differ from direct in that they assume consumers

will not or cannot state their evaluative criteria. Hence, frequent use is made of indirect methods such

as projective techniques, which allow the respondent to indicate the criteria someone else might use.

Perceptual mapping is another useful indirect technique for determining evaluative criteria.

Stacy owns a retail store specializing in home decor products. She is considering using price

advertising but is not sure what she needs to consider before doing so. She knows you are a marketing

major and has asked for your advice. Discuss three decisions she needs to consider when using price

advertising.

a. How large a price discount should be used?

b. Should comparison or reference prices be used? Showing a comparison price increases the

perceived savings significantly. However, the strength of the perception varies with the manner in

which the comparison or reference price is presented. Most consumers understand external reference

prices (i.e., those presented by the marketer) and are influenced by them but do not completely believe

them because of the perception that retailers inflate reference prices.

c. What verbal statements should accompany the price information? The best approach for

retailers seems to be to present the sale price and either the dollar amount saved if it is large, the

percentage saved when it is large, or both if both are large. The regular price could be shown in any of

these conditions. Such words or phrases as "now only," "compare at," or "special" appear to enhance

the perceived value of a sale. However, this varies by situation, initial price level and discount size,

consumer group, and retail outlet.
