Melanie Ruiz Consumer Patterns Quiz #8 Thanksgiving Celebrations It’s the season again when all of us scholars leave our stress at the rear of and brain home for Thanksgiving break. It is one of those breaks we look forward to since the start of the semester, every for our own reasons. Most of us look forward to spending some good time with our family while others look forward to finally savoring a cooked meal.
Basically being awarded the opportunity to spend one’s time however we see fit is a gift in itself for some of us.
Some learners engage in particular activities during the break although some enjoy not having any programs whatsoever. Every student engages in their own getaway traditions with their loved ones. After interviewing a few students at the University of Texas in Austin, it truly is evident that many family has their own differences and similarities in how they celebrate during the holidays. The biggest big difference between the persons I evaluated centered throughout the basis of requires and desires when it came to shopping for habits throughout the Thanksgiving break.
As we discovered in Phase 5, demands are “desires that occur when a consumer’s current state does not match the customer’s preferred state (p. 103). For certain persons, such as David and Israel, the pleasure for Black Friday and Cyber Monday was not present. While the two students were clearly conscious of the popular shopping getaways, neither appeared to show any enthusiasm if the final issue was asked regarding obtaining habits. Quite simply, both college students lacked the driving force known as motivation to venture out into the busy, crazy shopping malls and stores, regardless of great the actual savings could be (p. 02). According to David specifically, “the paranoid consumerism just isn’t my cup of tea. I just no longer feel the need to acquire anything. This patterns correlates with all the process of motivation discussed in book stating how “needs are the root of the motivational process (p. 104). Instead, both people cared even more about rewarding their requirement for sleep above any Holiday deal advertised. An even deeper association towards the interviewees’ reactions and the book could be tied to the definition of any need in Chapter being unfaithful. According to the text message, a need can be described as “fundamental physical or emotional state of felt eprivation (p. 190). After examining over the past questions asked during the interview, I could notice that David and Israel equally seemed many eager to catch up on the rest they’ve fallen behind upon while studying for school. It seems safe to say that both individuals would accept feeling rest deprived which in turn would describe their thinking for valuing sleep over shopping. My own other two interviewees, Lindsey and Lilly, did not apparently share a similar thoughts and feelings as the guys. According to Section 5, feelings and thoughts “focus interest and influence consumer behavior (p. 13). Both girls showed very much enthusiasm during the interview when the topic of buying arose. Lindsey expressed her excitement while she explained her family’s Black Friday routine saying: “We all ensure we are relaxed and totally prepared with this shopping lists before we all leave the house. All day long on Thanksgiving, our family talks about who’s having what and where they will saw the very best deal by. The items in our lists have all more than likely been wanted for a long time to be able to get all of them for a great discounted price is definitely something that is regarded as a must for people.
It’s a very long but interesting process that my family and I do every year! This “exciting process Lindsey explains is what the textbook calls a “ritual in Section 12 (p. 266). Her family’s emblematic actions which were repeated after some time have very much to do with just how she chooses to spend her time and money during the Thanksgiving break compared to those of David or Israel. With my other female interviewee, Lilly, the excitement of shopping stemmed from a more spontaneous standpoint. Whilst Lindsey’s family participated in a preplanned habit on Thanksgiving Day, Lilly’s family was quite the opposite.
Rather than search for certain or attractive items ahead of time, Lilly’s family members engaged in much more impulsive patterns Thanksgiving night time. She points out: “We may map out in which we’re heading. We only leave the house at midnight and proceed wherever we come across the most actions at. I never want to get the things that I purchase on Black Friday but for whatever reason, they get my vision. There’s little thought that adopts the things we buy although we even now enjoy going every year yet. The type of behavior defined above correlates well together with the automatic info processing referred to in
Phase 7 in the textbook. The types of purchases made by Lilly and her family are clearly made through “mental techniques that arise without understanding or intention (p. 136). The lack of preparing and business could be, in the event that not is, the main reason behind Lilly’s impulsive buying. According to the text, “impulse purchases are more liable when customers don’t use a shopping list (p. 136). Another connection I found interesting during my interview with Lilly was the method her relatives interacted with one another while shopping.
She described a very competitive atmosphere between her and her sibling specifically when shopping proclaiming, “It’s ridiculous but we all definitely become vultures upon Black Friday. It would show up Lilly and her sister would match the information of high self-monitoring individuals offered they both “routinely alter their behavior to meet the expectations of others (p. 158). Lilly also stated a wish to purchase items which are seen to have a very valued or expensive brand image such as the Michael Kors watch the girl purchased or the Coach purse her sibling bought in retaliation.
This kind of yearning or perhaps “drive to eat uncontrollably to one-up one another as Lilly describes could be the root of the family’s obsessive buying (p. 163). Through the Thanksgiving break, we all participate in our own family customs. Each of us gets our excitement through several measures.
Continue to, some choose to forget the buying option altogether and instead participate in more calming activities through the break. Every individual has their own reasons for partaking in certain festivals. Whether it be a family’s traditions to go out and shop or perhaps one’s personal preference to stay in and sleep, the only thing that appears to be fully understood about buyers is that just about every consumer is exclusive in their own way.
