The Impact of Instagram Micro-Influencers on the Buying Decision of Generation Z towards Fitness Products
Bachelor Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 2,0, Reutlingen University (ESB Business School), language: English, abstract: With fitness being a huge topic over the last couple of years, many fitness brands started collaborating with fitness-influencers on social media platforms. Especially micro-influencers on Instagram have gained attention in the previous years since they show high engagement rates and are perceived as credible sources of information. Particularly for young consumers, micro-influencer marketing has turned out to be an effective and contemporary brand communication strategy. The present bachelor thesis gives an overview of the effects of Instagram micro-influencers on the buying decision. Here, the impact on Generation Z towards fitness products was examined with an extensive literature review and a quantitative study in the form of an online survey. With the results of the study, insights on the relationship between fitness-related micro-influencers and Generation Z織s buying decision could be gained. Although social media and fitness-related micro-influencers play an essential part in the worldwide growth of the fitness industry, there is a dearth of research about their relationship with the buying decision of consumers. Especially for product managers in the health and fitness industry, it can be beneficial to understand these connections to better leverage influencer dynamics in their social media strategies. Moreover, there is a lack of studies focussing on the implications of these micro-influencers on Generation Z specifically. Generation Z consumers are the most digital and most reliant in terms of influencer recommendations. As emerging adults in their developmental stage, they can still be influenced in terms of their fitness habits. Therefore, brands and businesses in the fitness sectors can profit from understanding their buying behavior, which allows them to ad
Carsharing for sustainable urban mobility. Possibilities and obstacles of integrating car sharing into public transport
Master's Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject Business economics - Market research, grade: 1,0, International School of Management Dortmund, language: English, abstract: This master's thesis aims to examine the key drivers of development in the car sharing industry in order to derive possible effects on sustainable urban mobility. The resulting conclusions provide information about areas in which the various car sharing stakeholders must take action and which processes should be restructured if necessary. In addition, it is examined whether positive or negative effects of car sharing on public transport can already be identified. Based on the research location selected for this study, the possibilities and obstacles with which the concept of car sharing can be integrated into public transport will also be examined. At the beginning of this paper, the reader is introduced to the basics of the sharing economy, giving them a basic understanding of the further course of the study. In order to delve deeper into the topic, the origin of the sharing economy will be determined, and its relevance in the socio-economic environment demonstrated. The motives of the members of sharing services will be outlined. Since technological progress and electric mobility are the decisive drivers for the change in consumer behaviour, these areas will be discussed. The focus of this master's thesis lies on commercial car sharing, which is therefore covered in more detail than private car sharing. It will be clarified how the sharing mobility has developed in recent years and what motives, under consideration of economic and ecological aspects, have led consumers to use it to an ever-increasing extent. Besides, the advantages and disadvantages from the customer's point of view are worked out in order to examine whether reasons for the enormous market growth can already be deduced from this. Based on the preceding qualitative data collection, conclusions are drawn about the possible eff

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 2,2, University of Applied Sciences Essen (FOM Hannover), language: English, abstract: This thesis firstly covers definitions of customer loyalty, loyalty cards and the different types of loyalty programs. Section two deals with some important details of Lufthansa's Miles & More program, such as the background of Miles & More, important facts about Star Alliance, the possibilities that Lufthansa offers its frequent flyers to earn and spend reward miles, information about the different status levels of Miles & More, and basic knowledge about data protection with Miles & More. In addition to the established research, an empirical study in the form of a 15-question survey was performed on several platforms to which frequent flyers have access. This survey is discussed in the third section of this thesis. To obtain information about how frequent flyers value the Miles & More program, this first-hand information was required and used to evaluate the Miles & More program. The performed survey can be found in Appendix 1, page 51 ff., and the results of the survey can be found in Appendix 2, page 58 ff. The survey consisted of four parts: the first part contained information about the topic itself and data protection. The second part compromised four questions about the flying pattern of each participant, and the frequent flyer status that each participant had with Miles & More. The third and most extensive part of the survey dealt with the number of miles that each participant owned, the benefits for frequent flyers with Miles & More, and the satisfaction of the participants with the program. The last part contained questions for statistical reasons, such as the gender and age of the participants. The fourth section of this thesis further addresses the results of the survey and provides explanations for why the most important benefit of Lufthansa's Mile

The placebo effect of marketing. Investigating the effect of price on consumption experience
Scientific Essay from the year 2020 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1,0, Copenhagen Business School, language: English, abstract: Several studies investigated how marketing actions can affect consumers' product perception and thereby evoke a placebo effect. Notably, Irmak et al. (2005) were able to trigger identical objective body reactions for a product and its placebo. This suggests that manipulating marketing stimuli can not only alter subjective perceptions, but also objective physical product responses. This is in line with the inconsistent quality perceptions of NBs and PLs and leads to this paper's research problem: What are the subconscious processes that explain how price impacts subjective taste experiences? Taste experiences are closely linked to quality assessments which are both crucial for purchase decisions, thereby impacting a company's financial outcomes. It is thus relevant for marketers to understand how consumers derive their evaluations and how external attributes can affect them in a placebo-like manner. For this reason, the research question will be accompanied by a review of how neuroscientific approaches can add to the understanding of the placebo effect and how it can be leveraged by marketers.
The Digital Transformation of Payment
Master's Thesis from the year 2021 in the subject Business economics - Market research, grade: 1,0, accadis Hochschule Bad Homburg, language: English, abstract: Mobile payment systems are an innovation that allows people to make contactless payments with a mobile device (such as a smartphone) at the cash register in brick-and-mortar retail outlets without carrying a wallet with credit and debit cards. While other countries have almost entirely adopted and integrated this innovation into their daily lives, adoption rates in Germany remain significantly low. Hence, the objective of this work is to analyze the future of mobile payment systems in Germany with respect to the reasons for adoption or refusal. In particular, the following research question was addressed: Will mobile payment methods replace physical cards in Germany, or will certain factors prevent full adoption?
Recommendations for the Use of Voice Bots in Call Centers of the German Automotive Industry
Master's Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Business economics - Market research, grade: 1,0, Westf瓣lische Hochschule Gelsenkirchen, Bocholt, Recklinghausen, language: English, abstract: Due to the changed conditions for companies and users, voice bots are becoming more and more relevant across industries. They offer a solution to the problem of ever-increasing customer expectations and also show a solution for companies to deal with the increasing number of channels while maintaining the same budget. Both, the places of integration and the application areas for voice bots are diverse. Especially for the channel call center, which is often under cost pressure due to increasing customer expectations. Using the example of the German automotive industry, the aim of the work is to find out, how far the use of voice bots in call centers has already progressed and which tasks voice bots can take over from human agents. Exemplary use cases (which are the equivalent from the company's point of view to the term "touchpoint" used from the customer's point of view) for voice bots in the call center should be elaborated and tested for their voice bot suitability and universal evaluation criteria for the selection of further use cases should be developed. This should enable each automotive manufacturer to individually assess their own use cases in the channel call center in terms of the voice bot suitability. Finally, a guideline has to be drawn to guide the German automobile manufacturers in promoting voice bots' use in their call centers. To find out which general framework conditions, prerequisites, and potentials voice bots have, the focus has to be put on these items at the beginning of the work. Based on this, the topic of call centers along the customer journey will be developed to get an impression of the importance and the areas of application for call centers in the different journey phases. Dealing with the exemplarily selected automotive industry, industry
The Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Inflation Dynamics in Germany
Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Business economics - Market research, grade: 1,7, University of applied sciences Frankfurt a. M., language: English, abstract: The goal of this assignment is to discover the impact of the Corona pandemic on consumer prices. In addition, the paper will summarize the most important aspects of the Corona pandemic and provide information on the definition of the inflation rate. People are surrounded by headlines "More than 5000 Covid-19 patients in intensive care". Due to the Corona pandemic, the daily life of the people is limited to their safety. Considering the economic consequences, many sectors are at risk, for example, the international division of labour and the industry. The Institute for Economic Research ifo informs that the most affected are the retail, hotels, and restaurants. However, has the Corona crisis also affected prices? The Federal Statistical Office answers this question with yes, when it says that the Corona crisis has influenced prices at various economic levels. This means that there is a price influence from import to production to trade and then finally to the end consumer and export. On the world market, there have been strong price reductions, which affect the consumer price. In connection with this, we see a change in the inflation rate, which was 0.9% in April 2020 and increased by 0.4% just one month later. But is this kind of inflationary change good or bad for our economy? It is a well-known fact that a low inflation rate is good for the economy, while a high rate is bad. The reason is that at a high inflation rate the citizens lose faith in the currency and the purchasing power decreases significantly. Prices have risen steadily due to a shortage of supply, especially for pandemic items such as protective masks and disinfectants, and for medicines such as ibuprofen and paracetamol. All of which are largely manufactured in China.

Marketing Mix Plan. A Repositioning Strategy for Cheezels on the Australian Snack Market
Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1,0, Griffith University, course: Introduction to Marketing, language: English, abstract: This marketing plan for Cheezels has been developed to identify where Snack Brands Australia and their competitors are positioned in the snack food market. New consumer trends in the industry were discovered, as well as threats and opportunities for Snack Brands Australia. The objective of executing the marketing mix plan is to increase the brand awareness and market share by 0.5% within 12 months. This also includes an increase of sales volume. Cheezels has been long-established in the snack food industry. During the last two years, the customers changed their purchase behaviour. Nowadays, customers develop a health consciousness and are interested in locally produced products with a high level of food safety. The target market for repositioning Cheezels include adults and their kids who live a family based lifestyle. This target market is not price sensitive, wants to know where the product is coming from and what kind of ingredients are in there. Cheezels will be repositioned by adopting new consumer trends and focussing on food safety. Cheezels will be changed into a healthier product with a high level of food safety. Also, the package design will be slightly changed. The unique shape and fun aspect for kids will be maintained. Cheezels will be purchased by using a non-price strategy. Promotion of the product will include advertising, commercials, public relations and sale promotions. The main distribution strategy for Cheezels is a push strategy. The implementation of this repositioning strategy will take 12 months. To evaluate and control the process surveys, sales volume and figures of the market share will be evaluated before, during and after the repositioning. The results of these metrics will be used to adjust strategies accordingly. Snack Brand

The Tripartite Typology of Product Placement in the Movie Papa Benji
Academic Paper from the year 2022 in the subject Communications - Public Relations, Advertising, Marketing, Social Media, course: Theatre Arts, language: English, abstract: The aim of this paper is to carry out a brand recognition analysis using the Tripartite Typology of Product Placement, in the film, "Papa Benji". The primary data was collected through content analysis while the secondary data were collected from scholarly journals and books. Considering the large number of adverts inundating the average consumer daily on radio, television, bill boards among many others platforms, seeking other methods to reach clients in a subtler manner than traditional marketing messages becomes imperative. One of such tool is product placement which is a method of incorporating brand into film. However, despite being an effective tool of advert, it can have a downside when it comes to advertising and capturing the audience in a subtle way. If the placement is not subtle or too obvious, it can disturb the flow of the scene and further make the audience, shift attention to the advert rather than the plot of the film.
An Analysis of the Spotify Advertisement Campaign
Academic Paper from the year 2022 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 800, language: English, abstract: In this report, the campaign strategies to persuade, remind, and inform will be analyzed including social media marketing, out-of-home, and digital platforms. In the modern world, the internet has become a powerful marketing platform with a majority of the population having access to smartphones or computers. Therefore, much of the advertising from Spotify targeted online consumers. Furthermore, the company used TV ads across several markets. The effectiveness of the campaign will be reviewed with recommendations provided on where the company could have performed better. Advertising plays three important roles namely to persuade, remind, and inform. In this critique, the Spotify 'Only You' campaign will be analyzed to determine whether it was effective in achieving the set targets. Informative advertising usually aims at creating awareness about a product or service. It can be a significant platform to announce the introduction of a new product from an organization and educate the market about new features and the benefits of using the new product features. Spotify being a music and podcast streaming platform, there was a need to personalize the music listening experience of the millions of users on the platform. The 'Only You' campaign was aimed at creating awareness of the personalized user experience, largely depending on the data collected from the user. The ad campaign was released in 2021, targeting music lovers across the globe. It was meant to introduce the new app features which create a unique in-app experience. The company needed to communicate to its subscribers and potential market that, it was not only what they listened to that mattered but also, how they listened to music that was important.

The researcher has adopted quantitative and descriptive research for the present study. The factors chosen for the study are need-recognition, influential factors, purchase decision and purchase satisfaction. The survey was conducted among 577 sample shoppers of organized stores who have purchased children toys. The structured questionnaire was used to gather the primary data of the present research. Based on the pilot study results, the reliability and validity of the questionnaire was verified. The primary data was analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistical tools using SPSS 20.0 and AMOS 20.0 statistical packages. Toys play a vital role as cultural ambassadors reflecting 5000 years of Indian civilization. Toys manufactured all over the country reflect the cultural diversity of the country. The toy industry is mainly based on small and cottage sectors, with about 4000 manufacturing units comprising of micro (75%), small and medium (22%) and large (3%) units. Consumer behaviour deals with the study of individuals, groups, or organizations and the processes they use to select, secure, and dispose of products, services, or ideas to satisfy needs and the impacts that these processes have on the consumer and society. In every family, children are the parts of happiness for the family members, especially their parents, but kids love toys. Playing with toys gives them joy and fun, most of the toys provide at least some opportunity for children to learn. The best toys connect a child's senses, spark their imaginations, and encourage them to interact with others. In infancy toys are their

Impact of Hybrid Selling on Key Accounts Loyalty. Can Video Conferences be an Equivalent to On-Site Visits?
Master's Thesis from the year 2022 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1,3, Ruhr-University of Bochum, language: English, abstract: Loyalty in relationships between selling companies and key accounts are fundamental for successful business-to-business relationships. Prior research exposed communication to be an important antecedent of loyalty. However, while digital communication channels like video conferences gain importance in B2B sales, research has widely ignored this transformation. This study contributes to this gap by examining the impact of communicating with key accounts through video conferences and on-site visits on attitudinal loyalty. By applying the key mediating variable theory, this study provides a comprehensive understanding of key accounts' attitudinal loyalty formation through the mediating variables commitment, interorganizational trust, and interpersonal satisfaction. Based on data of a cross-industry survey of 280 key account managers and salespeople interacting with key accounts in the DACH region, this study first tested the conceptual model with a structural equation modeling approach and second the moderation effects with a multiple regression analysis.

Social Media Marketing for Small Businesses
Social media has erupted onto the global scene as the now-dominant medium of connection and collaboration. For people, and for society, the implications of such a transformation are massive. For businesses, the implications are even more profound. Business in the modern globalized and digitized ecosystem relies upon a toolset not available mere decades ago. While new challenges have emerged, small businesses have more of an opportunity than ever to explode upon a competitive landscape enabled by social media and digital marketing. The idea of writing Social Media Marketing for Small Businesses came to mind when a friend showed me the books she was reading to learn how to market her small business on social media. I was astounded by the lack of complete and up-to-date information; these books were preaching irrelevant apps, advertising that stopped at Facebook Ads, and social media advice that boiled down to "be yourself." I created a guide that legitimately helps business owners acquire more customers, develop a digital presence, masterfully leverage digital tools, and grow their bottom line through my experiences in building dozens of small businesses to a quarter-billion views and millions of followers, all of which translated to more customers and millions in sales. Learn how to: Set up & optimize a website and social presence.Establish a brand, digital, and social strategy that fits your business. Create content & build an audience on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn, and other key platforms for small businesses. Convert views into customers through funnels & profitable advertisements.Streamline digital efforts & maximize output at minimal cost.In sum, this book lays out a tested path toward measurable social and digital success for entrepreneurship and business owners. The world has gone digital-will you succumb to the confusion and competition, or leverage that fact to build a stronger business?

The Operational Success Factors for Sustainability Marketing among Fast-Moving Consumer Goods
Bachelor Thesis from the year 2021 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1,7, language: English, abstract: The aim of this paper is to identify the operational factors of sustainability marketing and to translate them into a catalogue of recommendations for action that companies can follow to successfully implement the concept of sustainability marketing into their corporate activities. In the course of this work, special attention will be given to the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector, as the socio-ecological commitment of companies operating in this sector is increasingly becoming the focus of consumers. Embedded in social, economic and cultural developments, market-oriented corporate management is subject to continuous change. In the 1990s, it was still characterised by a one-sided profit-oriented, economic perspective whose primary goal consisted in the growth of the company's value. The resulting ecological and social problems, such as climate change, the progressive destruction of nature and the environment, and also the emerging demand of society for environmental protection, gradually caused the pendulum to swing in the other direction: Companies striving to operate efficiently in the 21st century must adapt their business activities to the changed market conditions and integrate the idea of sustainability into their corporate structures. In such operational adaptation processes, sustainability marketing is of particular importance. It forms the link between a company and the market and not only serves to transparently communicate the new social-ecological corporate commitment but also to establish sustainable products on the market. However, the implementation of sustainability marketing poses great challenges to companies, as sustainability-related topics are often characterised by a high degree of complexity.
