Qno2: Can you characterize the different shopper segments in terms of demographics
traits Such as age, gender, income, family role and so on?
AGE
Age has a major effect on shopper segments. People desire changes as they grow older. Age
factor changes in personal values, lifestyle and health needs. Younger consumers are fit, and will
spend more on fun, entertaining, fashion and movies. Older people spend less on these things,
they stay indoors and they have more needs of medical treatments.
GENDER
Males and females have different needs and preferences and needs that affect their buying
priorities of lifestyle products and fashion.
INCOME
Income has a major effect on shopper and decisions of buying products. Middle class consumers
make their buying decisions with their utility of money. Upper class consumers feel free about
taking the family out for dinner at an expensive restaurant and they spend more money on luxury
items, jewelry, vacations and cars etc.
FAMILY ROLE
Family has an important effect on shoppers because one buys the items according to the family
members like the number of family members and their choices, according to the ages of the
family members e.g. if a person has kids he will buy toys, books stationary goods etc. and if he
has old family members he will buy medicines and other things of their needs.

Ans: When Andre do two jobs at a time, he didn’t have time for himself but when he sells
newspapers and start do savings, then he come to know about his own necessity. He feels
necessity of shoes so he saves money and one day he buy Nike shoes but why Nike? Andre was
the low income consumer but he wanted to buy branded shoes. The marketing effort of Nike
Company reflects the desire of Andre. At last Andre saves money and buys Nike shoes.
Qno2: What does this story say about our society and impact and role of marketing?
Ans: This story shows the dark side of this materialistic and modernized society in which most
of people don’t have time for their families and themselves. The people do more than one job to
fulfill their needs and also enjoy unnecessary luxuries, whereas low income consumers can also
enjoy little luxury, inside their low income and also have time for themselves and for their
families and they don’t have health issues too. In this story, Andre, after the family and financial
crisis he realize that money is not everything in life, he should also think about himself and he
can also enjoy little luxury and fulfill his needs by working and saving the money. The
marketing efforts of the companies encourages even low income consumers to buy their products
and services which other consumer wants.
