Hence, it can be concluded that consumers prefer this brand for skincare products, which are free from toxic chemicals, in a moderate scale basing their purchase decisions on availability of information, market substitutes, product recognition and post purchase behaviour.
Hence, the analysis for the 3rd question shows that a majority of responses is either highly agreeing or agreeing to the fact that they rely on social media platforms for product information when it comes to buying cosmetics. A considerable amount of consumers are neutral to this fact a negligible amount of consumer disagree with the reliability of social media platforms for product information.
Very few or negligible amount of responses disagree with the fact of checking the opinion of other consumers about a particular product before purchasing it. In this question, no one has highly disagreed with the stated fact about considering the feedback of other consumers about a product. The reason for this is that considering the opinions of other consumers of the same products before buying them is one of the most ensuring external sources of information regarding a product. Positive responses regarding a product of a brand always ensure more consumers purchasing the product (Zhang, 2015).
It is seen that none of the consumers either disagree or highly disagree with the given fact that post purchase satisfaction is a key reason for repeat purchase and customer loyalty. Hence it can be concluded that consumers always rely and give importance to post purchase satisfaction as a key reason for repeat purchase. Also post purchase satisfaction can be a key element in maintaining customer loyalty (De Mooij, 2019). This is because post purchase satisfaction is one of the internal sources of information for ensuring consumer satisfaction.
Most of the people agreeing the role of purchasing method indicates that Nude By nature should focus on selecting the right too. Starting form cash on delivery to e-commerce method, all should be used so that consumers get multiple options. Along with that it is also very necessary to make sure that the online transactions and information remain secure.
Nude by nature also focus on good packaging. The maximum percentage of people highly agreeing the role of packing shows that this is one of the key aspects that influence decision making process and the stage of alternative search. People can look for other options of the packing are not suitable or liked by them, mostly when it comes to gift products.
The Consumer Behavior survey shows that Nude by Nature has several major competitors like Napoleon Perdis, ModelCo, Kora Organics, Kevin Murphy and more. Along with that, not to many people, Nude by nature comes as the first priority. Therefore, the Consumer Behavior survey shows that the company has to improve several areas so that they can influence consumer perceptions throughout the consumer behavior stages. For example, the role of social media in marketing is found to be high. Therefore, it should be utilized to a better extent. Along with that, the use of proper transaction methods to focusing on post purchase behavior should be initiated (Sharma, 2014).
