Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Master's Thesis from the year 2007 in the subject Business economics - Marketing, Corporate Communication, CRM, Market Research, Social Media, grade: 1,0, University of Applied Sciences Fulda, 36 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: It seems that the mass of consumers break up into many heterogeneous sub-groups. Researchers and marketing experts strongly believe that in the near future, homogenous customer groups will split up into more and smaller target group segments and each of those segments demand for a unique and certain communication. Against this background and the fact that enterprises have to struggle on homogenous markets with multinational companies in a hard competition; the identification of the exact target group becomes more and more important. The more information the decision-makers have about their target group, the better they can communicate with them. Consequently, an increase in sales is the result. For this reason, the Master-Thesis copes with the innovative psychographic target group approach the Semiometrie. Hereby, 210 selected words reconstruct the psycho-cultural models that constitute the subconscious system of choice and of the identification of desires of respondents. Beside an extensive explanation of the method, a differentiation from selected models is undertaken by the writer. It is the author s greatest concern, on the one hand to provide a very in-depth under-standing of Semiometrie from the theoretical point of view. On the other hand, he is anxious to present a well- and novel understanding of Adidas , NIKE s and Puma s target group by using the Semiometrie. Consequently, the concept of research design is included within the empirical research. Due to collected and provided data by SevenOne Media and TNS Infratest as well as an in-depth analysis and interpretation of these data, the Master-Thesis offers a detailed de-scription of each of those target groups. These results are as well supported by illustrations of the Two-Dimensional Reference Map including a connection with value fields. Moreover, the nearness of the researched brands to TV broadcaster is demonstrated as well as socio-demographic cognitions. Hereby, it has been discovered that the brands and various target groups have some commonness. However, the differences between each brand and several target groups overbalance the results. Thus, it is evident that Semiometrie is able to provide a terrific and novel understanding of the researched brands with its target groups because at first sight the brands and their target groups still seem to be similar.

Synopsis

Master's Thesis from the year 2007 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1,0, University of Applied Sciences Fulda, language: English, abstract: It seems that the mass of consumers break up into many heterogeneous sub-groups. Researchers and marketing experts strongly believe that in the near future, homogenous customer groups will split up into more and smaller target group segments ¿ and each of those segments demand for a unique and certain communication. Against this background and the fact that enterprises have to struggle on homogenous markets with multinational companies in a hard competition; the identification of the exact target group becomes more and more important. The more information the decision-makers have about their target group, the better they can communicate with them. Consequently, an increase in sales is the result. For this reason, the Master-Thesis copes with the innovative psychographic target group approach ¿ the Semiometrie. Hereby, 210 selected words reconstruct the psycho-cultural models that constitute the subconscious system of choice and of the identification of desires of respondents. Beside an extensive explanation of the method, a differentiation from selected models is undertaken by the writer. It is the author¿s greatest concern, on the one hand to provide a very in-depth under-standing of Semiometrie from the theoretical point of view. On the other hand, he is anxious to present a well- and novel understanding of Adidas¿, NIKE¿s and Pumäs target group by using the Semiometrie. Consequently, the concept of research design is included within the empirical research. Due to collected and provided data by SevenOne Media and TNS Infratest as well as an in-depth analysis and interpretation of these data, the Master-Thesis offers a detailed de-scription of each of those target groups. These results are as well supported by illustrations of the Two-Dimensional Reference Map including a connection with value fields.
