İkinci olarak, İstanbul’da tüketicilerden yüz yüze anket yöntemiyle toplanan veriler, kurulan araştırma modeli çerçevesinde çeşitli analizlere tabi tutulmaktadır. Son olarak ise analizler sonucunda araştırma modelinde yer alan değişkenlerin, tüketicilerin taklit ürün satın alma niyetleri üzerindeki etkisini ölçmek amacıyla etki analizleri yapılmaktadır.
