Therefore, the advertising by Retro marketing, which is accepted to have a significant effect on consumers in the literature, combined with the neuromarketing approach and putting forward the effectiveness of the Retro ads with EEG Analysis Method emphasize the importance of the study. This study is among the very first studies connecting Retro marketing and neuromarketing. The outcomes of the experiments performed led to conclude that the retro marketing ad prepared successsfully has a positive effect on consumers.

Nöropazarlama Pespektifinden Retropazarlama Reklamlarının İncelenmesi: Nestle Markası Örneği

Abstract

Günümüzde yaşanan değişimler neticesinde, markaların rakiplerinden sıyrılmak ve rekabet avantajı sağlamak için tüketicilerin duygularına hitap etmedeki önemi artmıştır. Retro pazarlama, marka ile duygusal bir bağlantı kurmak ve onu günlük yaşamın bir parçası yapmak için pazarlama iletişimi mesajlarında kullanılmaktadır. Böylelikle firmalar tüketicilere geçmişi hatırlatmayı, geçmişe özlem duymalarını ve retro markalı ürünleri satın almayı hedeflemiştir.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, nöropazarlama tekniklerinden EEG analiz metodu kullanılarak tüketicilerin tepki seviyelerini ve bilinçaltındaki düşüncelerini belirlemektir Bu nedenle, literatürdeki tüketiciler üzerinde önemli bir etkiye sahip olduğu kabul edilen Retro pazarlama ile yapılan reklamlar, nöromarketing yaklaşımı ile bir araya getirildiğinde ve Retro reklamların EEG Analiz Yöntemi ile etkinliğinin ortaya konması, çalışmanın önemini vurgulamaktadır. Bu çalışma, Retro pazarlamayı ve nöromarketing'i bağlayan ilk çalışmalar arasındadır. Yapılan deneylerin sonuçları, başarılı bir şekilde hazırlanan retro pazarlama reklamının tüketiciler üzerinde olumlu bir etkisi olduğu sonucuna varmıştır.
