Abstract

Tüm dünyada güçlenen ekonomi ile tüketicilerin lüks ve üst segment ürünlere erişimi kolaylaşmıştır. Lüks ürünlerin, Türkiye de de geleceğin gelişen sektörleri içerisinde yer alması, Lu ve Pras ‘ın 2011 yılında lüks markaların tüketiciler tarafından tercih edilme sebeplerini ortaya koyan hipotezleri doğrultusunda İzmir ili bazında köklü olan Vakko üzerinde Türk tüketiciler bazlı bir çalışma gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu araştırmanın amacı, hızla büyüyen bu sektörde Türk tüketicilerinin Türk lüks markalarının tercih nedenlerini ortaya koymaktır. Vakko, 1962 yılında İstanbul'da kurulmuş, tanınmış bir Türk lüks markasıdır. Çalışmamızda markanın tüketici temelli tercih nedenlerini araştırmak amacıyla İzmir ilinde bir anket uygulaması gerçekleştirilmiş, İzmir'in orta ve üst gelir gruplarının yaşadığı Karşıyaka, Alsancak ve Güzelyalı ilçelerinde saha araştırması yapılmıştır. Güvenilir veri toplama sunucusu Surveymonkey aracılığı ve 130 katılımcı ile gerçekleşen anket sonuçlarına dayanarak lüks marka tüketicilerinin marka bilincini, materyalizmi, sosyal karşılaştırmayı, moda yenilikçiliğini ve modaya katılımını ifade etmek için Türk lüks mallarını satın almaya eğilimli oldukları saptanmıştır.
