Culture is the fundamental determinant of a person’s wants and behavior. 0hrough family and other +ey institutions li+e school and wor+ will influence the values.
Companies have capitalized on $ulticultural $ar+eting because a lot of countries have diversified culture.

Social factors such as reference groups# family# and social roles and statuses affect the buying behavior. person’s reference groups are all the groups that have a direct 7face-to-face: or indirect influence on their attitudes or behavior.
&rimary groups with whom the person interacts fairly continuously and informally# such as family# friends# neighbors# and cowor+ers. &eople belong to secondary groups# such as religious# professional# and trade union groups# which tend to be more formal and re5uire less continuous interaction.
(pinion leader is the person who offers informal advice or information about a specific product or product category# such as which of several brands
is best or how a particular product may be used. (pinion leaders are often highly confident# social active# and involved with the category. $ar+eters try to reach opinion leaders by identifying their demographic and psychographic characteristics# identifying the media they read# and directing message at them.

0he family is the most important consumer buying organization in the society# and family members constitute the most influential primary reference group.
0wo families in the buyer’s lifeJ
. 4amily of orientation L consists of parents and siblings
@. 4amily of procreation L one’s spouse and children# more direct influence on everyday buying behavior.
BO’S COFFEE :
$he family is very influential in terms of deciding where to go or what to buy !f a Cebuano will come to anila to study or work, definitely they will choose Bo’s Coffee over +tarbucks because of the family orientation

buyer’s decision is also influenced by personal characteristics# this includesJ

&sychological life-cycle stages may matter. dults e*perience a certain MpassagesN or MtransformationsN as they go through life. ?et# the behavior people e*hibit as they go through the passages# such as becoming a parent# is not necessarily fi*ed but changes the times.
@. (ccupation L this is also influences consumption patterns. $ar+eters try to identify the occupational groups that have above-average interest in their products and services and even tailor for certain occupational groups.
&roduct choice is greatly affected by economic circumstancesJ spendable income# savings# and assets# debts# borrowing power# and attitudes of spending and saving.
A. &ersonality and Self-Concept L each person has the personality characteristics that influence his or her buying behavior.
By personality# we mean a lot of distinguishing human psychological traits that lead to relatively consistent and enduring responses to environmental that may be evo+ed differently in different situations or around different types of people.

lifestyle is a person’s pattern of living in the world as e*pressed in activities# interests# and opinions. It portrays the Owhole personN interacting with his environment. $ar+eters search for relationships between their products and lifestyle groups.
BO’S COFFEE :
$he age and occu#ation are very im#ortant factors in the selection of brand because it will be the deciding as#ect if they can afford luurious coffee such as Bo’s Bo’s coffee should do a market research within the area and make a survey of the buying #owers of consumers

Sigmund 4reud assumed that the psychological forces shaping people’s behavior are largely unconscious# and that a person cannot fully understand his or her own motivations.
aslow’s $heory
braham $aslow sought to e*plain why people are dri ven by particular needs at particular times. 8is answers is that human needs are arranged in a hierarchy from the most to least pressing L physiological needs# safety needs# social needs# esteem needs# and self-actualization needs. &eople will try to satisfy their most important needs first.
.er%berg’s $heory
4rederic+ 8erzberg developed a two-factor theory that distinguishes dissatisfiers 7factor that cause dissatisfaction: from satisfiers 7factors that cause satisfaction:. 0he absence of dissatifiers is not enough to motivate a purchaseP satisfiers must be present.
/rinking coffee has been #art of the #hysiological need of a #erson 0ccording to aslow theory it is the first need to be fulfilled
82 Perce"tion
It is the process by which we select# organize# and interpret information inputs to create a meaningful picture of the world. 0he +ey point is that it depends not only on the physical stimuli# but also on the stimuli’s relationship to the surrounding field and on conditions within each of us.
In mar+eting# perceptions are more important than the reality# as it is perceptions that will affect consumers’ actual behavior.
&eople can emerge with different perceptions of the same ob/ect because of three perceptual processesJ
a. Selective ttention L attention is the allocation of processing capacity to some stimulus. =oluntary attention is something purposefulP involuntary attention is grabbed by someone or something.
. &eople are more li+ely to notice stimuli that relate to a current need
@. &eople are more li+ely to notice stimuli they anticipate
A. &eople are more li+ely to notice stimuli whose deviations are large in relationship to the normal size of the stimuli
b. Selective %istortion L the tendency to interpret information in a way that fits our preconceptions. Consumers will often distort information to be consistent with prior brand and product beliefs and e*pectations.
c. Selective 1etention L people remember the good points about a product they li+e and forget good points about competing products. Selective retention wor+s to the advantage of strong brands. It is also e*plains why mar+eters need to use repetition L to ma+e sure their message is not overloo+ed.
BO’S COFFEE :

;earning includes changes in our behavior arising from e*perience. ;earning theory teaches mar+eters that they can build demand for a product by associating it with strong drives# using motivating cues# and providing positive reinforcement.

ll the information and e*periences we encounter as we go through life can end up in our long-term memory. Cognitive psychologists distinguish between short-term memory 7S0$: L a temporary and limited repository of information L and long-term memory 7;0$: L a more permanent# essential unlimited repository.
In this model# we can thin+ of consumer brand +nowledge as a node in memory with a variety of lin+ed associations. 0he strength and organization of these associations will important determinants of the information we can recall about the brand.
BO’S COFFEE :
$he training of the barista is very im#ortant to make sure they are com#etent to handle and serve customer in order to make a good consumer brand knowledge
RECOMMENDAT-ON:
%on’t treat the strong coffee shops as a competitor rather as an inspiration to improve its company.
Innovate on their product that is healthy and good for weight watcher.
Be more aggressive in $etro $anila area and other parts of the country by putting more branches but they should do mar+et research and analysis first.
Strengthen the &hilippine mar+et before e*panding internationally.
Bo’s Coffee believes that being aggressive is not a solution to gain mar+et share. 0he company ta+es one step a timeP first it ma+es sure to strengthen the organization and then e*pand to local and followed by the international mar+et.
