CONSUMERS’ COLOR PERCEPTION AND GENDER: A RESEARCH FROM MARKETING PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

The colors possessed by physical objects can affect people’s feelings, thoughts, and even physiology in different ways. In terms of marketing, color is an important factor that must be used with care at almost every stage of marketing such as product development, product management, pricing, distribution and promotion. The purpose of this study is to reveal the color perception of the people in terms of marketing by considering the gender variable. Survey data were collected by face-to-face survey method. The study was carried out in Bursa city/Turkey and the obtained data were evaluated by frequency analysis. As a result of the analysis, color perception of consumers and gender differences in color perception are revealed. If gender is taken into consideration, marketing executives can effectively use colors in their products and packaging, expressing the country’s origin, creating brand and company image, creating advertising campaigns, and creating a store (online and offline) atmosphere.
