Evaluation of each criterion is scored on a +10 (very positive) to - 10 (very
negative) rating scale. Brand ratings are scored on a rating scale scoring a
consumer's belief about a brand's performance on each criterion where 10 = the
brand very much delivers the benefits (or costs) and 1= the brand does not do so
at all.
a) What are the attitudes that consumers have towards the different brands?
b) If you were marketing the Easystride brand how could you use the marketing
mix?
c) If you were responsible for marketing the Xpress brand of shoes, describe the
segmentation characteristics of the people towards whom you'd try and market
your brand.
d) The evaluation of the different criteria is scaled from +10 to -10, evaluate the
difference between using this approach to one where respondents had 100
points to allocate between the different consequences.
