Hur butiker påverkar kunden till köp

Sammanfattning: Abstract Title: How Shops Influence the Customer to Purchase Authors: Lisa Hegestrand, Jonna Olandersson and Anna Sjödahl Advisor: Leif Rytting Course: Marketing C, 61 – 90 ECTS Purpose Our purpose is to analyze and clarify how a number of shops work to influence their customers’ in-store buying behaviour. We would also like to analyze and reflect on how and to what extent these shops use the customer’s senses when trying to influence buying behaviour. Method We have combined a deductive and inductive approach. Our method has been qualitative, and we have performed seven interviews with informants from our chosen shops. The empiric material we have collected has been combined with theory in order for us to gain a deeper understanding of the subject. Conclusion In the finishing chapter of our thesis, we present a number of tendencies that we have noted while performing our study. We have reached the conclusion that there are many ways to influence a customer’s behaviour, and that our informants have the opinion that very much can be done to influence buying behaviour. Among other things, the placement and presentation of the products are of importance, as is the shop design. We have also found that shop staff is a factor which influences the customer; employees work as a part of the shop brand. A part of our purpose has been to analyze and reflect on sensory marketing, and we have reached the conclusion that shops mainly focus on two senses – hearing and seeing.
