Compared to other Brands (real or fictional) how do we stack up? Elicit a consumer response to changes in brand identification in response to a set marketing stimulus
66
What is Marketing Based Comparative Approach to Market Performance Measurement
Hold brand constant and observe changes based on marketing program change
67
What does Conjoint Analysis do in Market Performance Analysis?
Combines Brand based and Marketing Based comparative models to estimate utility based on a set of combinations of attributes.
68
What does Conjoint Analysis allow you to do, and how do you do it?
Assess Trade-offs among characteristics. Allows segment-level optimal product or marketing configurations. Thereby, allows us to estimate brand equity. Analyse through Choice Based or Rating Based Conjoint analysis.
69
What are the problems with Conjoint Analysis?
Conjoint analysis relies on self-surveyed findings, which may differ significantly from actual behaviour.
70
What are the (4) steps in Conjoint Analysis?
1) Identify Attributes through qualitative techniques 2) Define levels for attributes (binary or up to six tends to be good) (Prices must be realistic) 3) Design study, with limited configurations. Use "Fractional Factorial Design", a number of "cards" that represents largely the decision set. 4) Collect data, configure, maybe include a dummy "I would not buy" 5) Prepare data, observe part worth plots 6) Make simulations to project share of market, and expected utility
71
What are the tradeoffs between using Choice and Rating methods of Conjoint Analysis
Choice: - More sophisticated analysis - More sample size - Logit regression, worst! - But more realistic Rating: - Estimates part worths of attributes - OLS regression, good! - Less realistic
72
How is Holistic Model conducted, and what does it propose as driving Brand Equity?
- Done with supermarket scanner data - Estimates value assigned by consumers to each brand in a category Sources of brand equity - Tangible - Intangible
73
How does the Multi-Attribute model estimate preference?
It sums importance of attribute multiplied by the perception that you have this attribute, for each attribute under investigation
