Determining the Marketing Tactic and Strategies Based on Milk Consumption Preference Patterns of the Consumers

Abstract

The aims of the study were to determine the factors impacting on drinking milk consumption decisions of the consumers in Erzurum, and to provide the information to suppliers on how to implement the strategic marketing decisions by considering the main factors effecting on the milk consumption amounts based on homogenous consumer segments. The primary data obtained from a face-to-face questionnaire with 250 households residing in Erzurum, therefore, were the main material of the research. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for the consumption preference factors of consumers’ drinking milk, K-means Cluster Analysis for homogenous cluster segments related to high, middle, low-income professionals and Multiple Regression Analyses (MRC) to determine the efficiencies of the factors affecting the milk consumption amounts were used by taking into consideration these data. The results of the study highlighted that the high, middle and low-income consumers gave purchase decisions towards drinking milk with the augmented product image processed as organic, with actual product image differentiated under the price discriminations and the generic raw milk focused on the core benefits, respectively. According to these results, the brand strategies related to the global/national brands under organic milk mix with high image, the private labels covering the actual product mix and the generic brands with region of origin focused on the core benefit could be implemented for homogeneous consumers segments, respectively.
