Analysis of Indian Consumers� Behaviour using Lifestyle Segmentation

Journal of Business Thought

Demographic profiling has been an important basis of segmenting consumers. But the demographic variables provide a compartmentalised view of consumer behaviour. Purchase and consumption behaviour are in fact the result of influence of many variables operating simultaneously in the background. In order, to provide a holistic view of the 'why and how' of consumers purchase decision, lifestyle analysis has been considered a superior basis of customer profiling in recent research. Lifestyle study focuses on activities, interests and opinions of consumers and their role in formulating consumers' purchase decision. Past researches in India do provide an insight into the segmentation of Indian consumers on demographic and geographic basis. However, not much has been emphasised on the use of lifestyle for segmenting Indian consumers. The present research, therefore, tries to fill this void by providing the lifestyle profiling of the Indian consumers using factor analysis and cluster analysis. This study can help the marketers in segmenting their prospective and present customers using the suggested lifestyle dimensions.

Lifestyle Segmentation: From Attitudes, Interests and Opinions, to Values, Aesthetic Styles, Life Visions and Media Preferences

European Journal of Communication, 2002

Nowhere in the field of mass communication research has the concept of 'lifestyle' been so prominently and fruitfully used as in the field of marketing communication, where it has been shown that lifestyles influence both consumption patterns and the processing of different forms of marketing communication. Therefore, the lifestyle concept has become the core of a special kind of segmentation research called 'psychographics'. This psychographic or lifestyle research usually takes as its point of departure extensive and ad hoc AIO (activities, interests and opinions) surveys, which then lead to often very colourful and useful lifestyle typologies using the technique of cluster analysis. In this article, new approaches to constructing lifestyle typologies are developed using the more general and stable concepts of values, aesthetic styles and life visions. Their applicability, both in isolation and in combination, to form meaningful lifestyle typologies is compared to traditional demographic segmentation criteria such as gender, age, social class and stage of life. This is done in four different markets: goods (cars), services (tourism), not-forprofit (political parties) and media (television programmes, films and magazines). In each of these markets, we compare the different segmentation systems in terms of most wanted product attributes or benefits as found in a survey using a quota sample of the Flemish adult population. It is found that values, aesthetic styles and life visions-either alone or in combination-can lead to very balanced and meaningful

Consumer Culture Theory and Lifestyle Segmentation

2017

This manuscript compares traditional (AKA quantitative), and Consumer Culture Theory (AKA qualitative), approaches to lifestyle segmentation. We find five key differences: (1) While traditional segmentation aims for brevity, CCT adds more detail; (2) Traditional approaches focus on common brand meanings, whereas CCT examines how meanings differ for different consumers; (3) Traditional favors quantitative methods, while CCT favors qualitative research; (4) While traditional group labels tend to remain obscure, like PRISM’s “belongers”, CCT favors familiar lifestyle groups; (5) Traditional lifestyle segmentation favors the descriptive, whereas CCT emphasizes theory development. Managerial implications are discussed.
