Year 2018, Volume: 8 Issue: 2/1, 40 - 56, 27.12.2018

Abstract

Considering the size of its economic dimension, research on the gift market and consumer behavior, which has
a place not to be underestimated in the world of marketing, has begun to gain momentum. A research has been
conducted on the behavior of consumers in Batman, aimed at gift buying behaviors which can also differ on
special occasions. In this study, gift buying behaviors in some special days and celebrations such as New
Year's Day, Teachers' Day, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and Religious Holidays were examined. A face-toface survey was applied to 1057 participants in Batman who were reached by easy sampling method. Findings
about the frequency of gift purchase of the consumers, the budget they devoted, the pre-purchase research, the
time they allocated, the type of gift on which special day they preferred, and the level of the factors they gave
importance to in the selection of gifts were obtained.

Abstract

Ekonomik boyutunun büyüklüğü göz önüne alınarak,
pazarlama dünyasında da küçümsenmeyecek bir yer edinen hediye pazarı ve
tüketicilerin davranışları ile ilgili araştırmalar hız kazanmaya başlamıştır.
Özel günlerde ayrıca farklılaşabilen hediye satın alma davranışlarına yönelik
Batman’daki tüketicilerin davranışları üzerine bir araştırma yapılmıştır. Bu
çalışmada, tüketicilerin Yılbaşı, Öğretmenler Günü, Sevgililer Günü, Anneler
Günü ve Dini Bayramlar gibi bazı özel gün ve kutlamalarda, hediye satın alma davranışları
incelenmiştir. Batman’da kolayda örnekleme yöntemiyle ulaşılan 1057
katılımcıya, yüz yüze anket uygulanmıştır. Tüketicilerin hediye satın alma
sıklıkları, ayırdıkları bütçe, satın alma öncesi araştırma yapıp yapmadıkları,
ayırdıkları süre, hangi özel günde hangi hediye türünü tercih ettikleri ve
hediye seçiminde önem verdikleri faktörlerin düzeyine ilişkin bulgular elde
edilmiştir.
