Assignment 15A



Assignment 15A- Figuring Out Buyer Behavior No.2 

Interview #1: To be able to place the gps tracker into the magic bands, customers must purchase the magic band first. The first person that I interviewed told me that she had purchased several different magic bands. She told me that her first purchase was based solely on price so she bought the most basic magic band which costs less. As she went into different Disney stores she realized that there were different styles but they became more pricier depending on the style. Price as well as style played an important factor as to which one she wanted to buy. She said that she likes to purchase the bands at the actual Disney stores so that she doesn't have to pay for shipping. She says she just pays with cash or debit card, no need to finance this purchase. They don't really think about the purchase because she says that its a very convenient one instead of having to carry the a ticket. 

Interview #2: The second person I interviewed said that they cared more about the style than the price. They like looking for once that have the characters that they like and they don't really care for price that much. The quality of the bands are all the same so she said that she only picked based on style. She also said that she enjoys online shopping more than going into the stores and looking at all the options. She buys the band a few weeks before her trips to Disney and she enjoys getting the package in the mail knowing she will go on the trip soon. She said that she doesn't mind spending money on them because they will last forever, its not a reoccurring purchase. 

Interview #3: The third person I interviewed cared more about price than anything else. He says he didn't really care for the designs that they had to offer and he just went for the most basic one. He doesn't feel the need to spend more money on an object because of the design changes. He said he bought the item at the store because its a very quick purchase. He was glad he made the purchase because he said he tended to lose the card that is given to him as the ticket. He doesn't see himself buying another one because this one will last him forever. 

Conclusion: The segment that I chose (teenagers) all cared about different things. The two girls I interviewed seemed to care more about style than anything else. They guy that I interviewed care more about price than style. Even though price was also a factor, all three of them were willing to buy magic bands. I think that they are willing to buy this product because its more convenient that carrying a card around that you can easily lose.

  1. Hey Julianna, the teenager segment must be a very hard one to deal with. Like you mentioned, teenagers all care about different things, so it is hard to gauge what style you should employ. Caring about price is definitely probably your best gauge for this segment. Teenagers will choose what is cheaper before they purchase something based off of style. They simply do not have the capital.

  2. Hi Juliana! I think it is interesting to see how they were all aware of the price changes because of style yet some of them did not care. I think if the purchase lasts forever I would also probably pay a little extra for one that I thought looked nice. I also like the idea of buying it in the store otherwise there is the chance you could forget to pack it for your trip.

  3. Hi Juliana! I think its really smart that you interviewed people who already have bought magic bands because you know they are interested in the device your product would live in. I think the females you interviewed would be open to buying a band with your product in it because they seem open to buying new bands if they have cool designs. The male doesn't sound like he would be open to buying a new band if his current one still works though. Great post!

  4. Hey Juliana, great job on the interviews. Bringing in both genders was a great idea because you can see the difference between the two. Based on what gender you choose to pursue you can specialize and better cater to more specific markets. The magic band idea could turn into something much like the iPhone, people become linked to it and releasing newer and newer editions could drive more business. Overall Great Job.
