though Bobby argues that they are not as garish as the ludicrously coloured boots favoured by his younger brother Jack and his friends amongst his workmates there is a certain amount of prestige to be upheld and since he has had his boots for so long, Bobby feels he deserves some new ones anyway Bobby’s mates had rather mixed (and not very polite) things to say about all the brightly coloured football boots on offer his friend Pete had already pointed out that the nike Mercurial vapors came in very strong colours, so Bobby decided those probably would not suit him he would have liked to have stayed with Puma boots but there wasn’t really the choice that he was looking for in their current offering So that left adidas (possibly copa Mundial or the Kaisers) adidas represented his final choice, helped by the fact that many of his team mates wore 382 M10_SOLO6723_06_SE_C10.indd 382 3/31/16 8:24 PM www.downloadslide.com inTroDucTion them and said good things about the quality of the boot The only thing Bobby had to now was to buy the most classic looking pair he could find after all, some people want to stand out in the crowd, to be individual and different, but football is a team game . . . and most of his friends were now wearing quite classic football boots They must be showing their age r.J.W hoGG, London InTrodUCTIon Football is central to Bobby’s identity: he was a sports-loving student at university, and remains an enthusiastic football player now that he is in the world of work; and his team mates influence many of his buying decisions for sports kit We all belong to many different types of groups, some formal and some informal, some from our personal worlds (e.g fellow football players) and some from our professional worlds (e.g work colleagues) Our behaviour is often heavily influenced by the groups to which we belong, and we often seek affirmation from our fellow group members via our consumption choices This chapter focuses on how other people – whether fellow footballers and team mates, coworkers, friends and family or just casual acquaintances – influence our purchase decisions It considers how our preferences are shaped by our positive group memberships, as well as by our dissociative reference groups, by our desire to please or be accepted by others, even by the actions of famous people whom we’ve never met Finally, it explores why some people are more influential than others in affecting consumers’ product preferences, and how marketers go about finding those people and enlisting their support in the persuasion process ‘it’s fair to say adidas lead now [in terms of contemporary shoe trends] with their adidas Pharrell collaboration The latest is Pharrell williams Supercolor collection, which sees the ‘Superstar’ silhouette rendered in 50 colours’* 2015 Adidas 383 M10_SOLO6723_06_SE_C10.indd 383 3/31/16 8:24 PM www.downloadslide.com ChapTEr 10 GrouPS anD Social MeDia ThE SoCIaL poWEr oF GroUpS Humans are social animals We belong to groups, try to please others, and look to others’ behaviour for clues about what we should in public settings In fact, our desire to ‘fit in’ or to identify with desirable individuals or groups is the primary motivation for many of our consumption behaviours We may go to great lengths to please the members of a group whose acceptance we covet,2 and to avoid the group with which we not wish to be associated.3 Social identity theory argues that each of us has several ‘selves’ that relate to groups These linkages are so important that we think of ourselves not just as ‘I’, but also as ‘we’ In addition, we favour others that we feel share the same identity – even if that identity is superficial and virtually meaningless In numerous experiments that employ the minimal group paradigm, researchers show that even when they arbitrarily assign subjects to one group or another, people favour those who wind up in the same group.4 Bobby’s football team is an important part of his identity, and this membership influences many of his buying decisions Bobby doesn’t model himself on just any footballer – only the people with whom he really identifies can exert that kind of influence For example, Bobby primarily identifies with other sport enthusiasts, especially football players The English Football League represents one of Bobby’s most important reference groups, whereas the English Rugby Union represents one of his dissociative groups MarKETInG opporTUnITy we tend to think of running as something you on your own, but today you’re much more likely to run with a group People train with friends and participate in charity runs together Many of us are moving away from running alone at home; sales of home cardio equipment like treadmills are way down instead people gravitate to competitions, obstacle courses, fitness classes or free family events such as Parkrun in the uK ✔ (http://www.parkrun.org.uk/) new Balance is picking up on this trend as the shoe manufacturer promotes its ‘runnovation’ campaign in the uS, which focuses on running as a social activity one print ad carries the headline, ‘redefine girls’ night out’ as it shows a group of women running together ‘Some go out others go out and make excellent happen The night is yours This is runnovation’.5 Why are groups so persuasive? The answer lies in the potential power they wield over us Social power describes ‘the capacity to alter the actions of others’.6 To the degree to which you are able to make someone else something, regardless of whether that person does it willingly, you have power over that person The following classification of power bases helps us to distinguish among the reasons a person exerts power over another, the degree to which the influence is voluntary, and whether this influence will continue to have an effect even when the source of the power isn’t around.7 ● referent power If a person admires the qualities of a person or a group, he tries to copy the referent’s behaviours (e.g choice of clothing, cars, leisure activities) Prominent people in all walks of life affect our consumption behaviours by virtue of product endorsements (e.g Lady Gaga for Polaroid), distinctive fashion statements (e.g Kim Kardashian’s displays of high-end designer clothing), or championing causes (e.g Brad Pitt for UNICEF) referent power is important to many marketing strategies because consumers voluntarily modify what they and buy in order to identify with a referent ● Information power A person possesses information power simply because she knows something others would like to know Editors of trade publications such as Women’s Wear 384 M10_SOLO6723_06_SE_C10.indd 384 3/31/16 8:24 PM www.downloadslide.com The Social Power of Groups Daily often possess tremendous power because of their ability to compile and disseminate information that can make or break individual designers or companies People with information power are able to influence consumer opinion by virtue of their (assumed) access to the knowledge that provides some kind of competitive advantage ● Legitimate power Sometimes we grant power by virtue of social agreements, such as the authority we give to police officers, soldiers, and yes, even professors The legitimate power a uniform confers wields authority in consumer contexts, including teaching hospitals where medical students used to don white coats to enhance their standing with patients (although this practice has now largely been abandoned to try and prevent the spread of hospital infections).8 Marketers ‘borrow’ this form of power to influence consumers For example, an ad that shows a model who wears a white doctor’s coat adds an aura of legitimacy or authority to the presentation of the product (‘I’m not a doctor, but I play one on TV’) ● Expert power To attract the casual internet user, U.S Robotics signed up British physicist Stephen Hawking to endorse its modems A company executive commented, ‘We wanted to generate trust So we found visionaries who use U.S Robotics technology, and we let them tell the consumer how it makes their lives more productive’ Hawking, who has Lou Gehrig’s disease and speaks via a synthesiser, said in one TV spot, ‘My body may be stuck in this chair, but with the Internet my mind can go to the end of the universe’.9 Hawking’s expert power derives from the knowledge he possesses about a content area This helps to explain the weight many of us assign to professional critics’ reviews of restaurants, books, movies, and cars – even though, with the advent of blogs and open source references such as Wikipedia, it’s getting a lot harder to tell just who is really an expert!10 This Marks and Spencer advertising campaign used non-celebrities to endorse its message, ‘For every woman you are’ With kind permission from Marks and Spencer plc 385 M10_SOLO6723_06_SE_C10.indd 385 3/31/16 8:24 PM www.downloadslide.com ChapTEr 10 GrouPS anD Social MeDia ● reward power A person or group with the means to provide positive reinforcement (see Chapter 7) has reward power The reward may be the tangible kind, as when an employee is given a pay rise Or it can be more intangible, such as the approval the judges on Strictly Come Dancing or The Voice deliver to contestants ● Coercive power We exert coercive power when we influence someone because of social or physical intimidation A threat is often effective in the short term, but it doesn’t tend to stick because we revert to our original behaviour as soon as the bully leaves the scene Fortunately, marketers rarely try to use this type of power (unless you count those annoying calls from telemarketers) However, we can see elements of this power base in the fear appeals we’ve talked about (see Chapter 8), as well as in intimidating salespeople who try to succeed with a ‘hard sell’ rEFErEnCE GroUpS A reference group is ‘an actual or imaginary individual or group conceived of having significant relevance upon an individual’s evaluations, aspirations, or behaviour’.11 Reference groups influence consumers in three ways These influences, informational, utilitarian and value-expressive, are described in Table 10.1 In this chapter we’ll focus on how other people, whether fellow bikers, co-workers, friends, family or simply casual acquaintances, influence our purchase decisions We’ll consider how our group memberships shape our preferences because we want others to accept us or even because we mimic the actions of famous people we’ve never met We’ll also explore why some people in particular affect our product preferences and how marketers find those people and enlist their support to persuade consumers to jump on the bandwagon When are reference groups important? Recent research on smoking cessation programmes powerfully illustrates the impact of reference groups The study found that smokers tend to quit in groups: when one person quits, this creates a ripple effect that motivates others in his social network to give up cigarettes as well The researchers followed thousands of smokers and non-smokers for more than 30 years, and also tracked their networks of relatives, coworkers, and friends They discovered that over the years, the smokers tended to cluster together (on average in groups of three) As the overall US smoking rate declined dramatically during this period, the number of clusters in the sample decreased, but the remaining clusters stayed the same size; this indicated that people quit in groups rather than as individuals Not surprisingly, some social connections were more powerful than others A spouse who quit had a bigger impact than did a friend, whereas friends had more influence than siblings Co-workers had an influence only in small firms where everyone knew one another.12 Reference group influences don’t work the same way for all types of products and consumption activities For example, we’re not as likely to take others’ preferences into account when we choose products that are not very complex, that are low in perceived risk (see Chapter 9), or that we can try before we buy.13 In addition, knowing what others prefer may influence us at a general level (e.g owning or not owning a computer, eating junk food versus health food), whereas at other times this knowledge guides the specific brands we desire within a product category (e.g if we wear Levi’s jeans versus Diesel jeans, or smoke Marlboro cigarettes rather than a national brand) Two dimensions that influence the degree to which reference groups are important are whether we will consume the item publicly or privately and whether it is a luxury or a necessity As a rule, reference group effects are more robust for purchases that are (1) luxuries (e.g yachts), 386 M10_SOLO6723_06_SE_C10.indd 386 3/31/16 8:24 PM www.downloadslide.com Reference groups Table 10.1  Three forms of reference group influence Informational The individual seeks information about various brands from an association of professionals or independent group of experts The individual seeks information from those who work with the product as a profession The individual seeks brand-related knowledge and experience (such as how Brand A’s performance compares to Brand B’s) from those friends, neighbours, relatives or work associates who have reliable information about the brands The brand the individual selects is influenced by observing a seal of approval of an independent testing agency (such as Good Housekeeping) The individual’s observation of what experts (such as observing the type of car that police drive or the brand of television that repairers buy) influences their choice of a brand Utilitarian So that they satisfy the expectation of fellow work associates, the individual’s decision to purchase a particular brand is influenced by their preferences The individual’s decision to purchase a particular brand is influenced by the preferences of people with whom they have social interaction The individual’s decision to purchase a particular brand is influenced by the preferences of family members The desire to satisfy the expectations that others have of them has an impact on the individual’s brand choice Value-expressive The individual feels that the purchase or use of a particular brand will enhance the image others have of them The individual feels that those who purchase or use a particular brand possess the characteristics that they would like to have The individual sometimes feels that it would be nice to be like the type of person that advertisements show using a particular brand The individual feels that the people who purchase a particular brand are admired or respected by others The individual feels that the purchase of a particular brand would help show others what they are or would like to be (such as an athlete, successful business person, good parent, etc.) Source: Adapted from C Whan Park and V Parker Lessig, ‘Students and housewives: Differences in susceptibility to reference group influence’, Journal of Consumer Research, 1977 4(2): 102 Copyright © 1977, Oxford University Press by permission of Oxford University Press rather than necessities because products that we buy using discretionary income are subject to individual tastes and preferences, whereas necessities not offer this range of choices; and (2) socially conspicuous or visible to others (e.g living room furniture or clothing), because we not tend to be swayed as much by the opinions of others if no one but ourselves will ever see what we buy.14 The relative effects of reference group influences on some specific product classes are shown in Figure 10.1 This obviously does not mean that a reference group cannot exert influence on the consumption of private necessities Types of reference groups Although two or more people are normally required to form a group, the term reference group is often used a bit more loosely to describe any external influence that provides social cues.15 The referent may be a cultural figure and have an impact on many people (e.g Nelson Mandela or Michelle Obama); or a sportsman (e.g the success of Jordan Spieth at the U.S Masters Golf Tournament in Augusta in April 2015); or a person or group whose influence only operates 387 M10_SOLO6723_06_SE_C10.indd 387 3/31/16 8:24 PM www.downloadslide.com Chapter 10  GROUPS AND SOCIAL MEDIA Figure 10.1  Relative effects of reference groups Source: Adapted from William O Bearden and Michael J Etzel, ‘Reference group influence on product and brand purchase decisions’, Journal of Consumer Research, 1982 9(2): 185 Copyright © 1982, Oxford University Press by permission of Oxford University Press in the consumer’s immediate environment (e.g Bobby’s various football teams, 5-a-side and 11-a-side) Reference groups that affect consumption can include parents, fellow football enthusiasts and team members, classmates, other leisure activity enthusiasts, a political party or even sports clubs such as Manchester United and bands such as One Direction, U2 and Coldplay Some people influence us simply because we feel similar to them Have you ever experienced a warm feeling when you pull up at a light next to someone who drives the exact same car as yours? One reason that we feel a bond with fellow brand users may be that many of us are a bit narcissistic; we feel an attraction to people and products that remind us of ourselves That may explain why we feel a connection to others who happen to share our name Research on the name-letter effect finds that, other things being equal, we like others who share our names or even initials better than those who don’t When researchers look at large databases like internet phone directories or Social Security records, they find that Johnsons are more likely to wed Johnsons, and people whose surname is Lane tend to have addresses that include the word lane, not street.16 Some groups and individuals exert a greater influence than others and affect a broader range of consumption decisions For example, our parents may play a pivotal role in forming our values towards many important issues, such as attitudes about marriage and the family or where to go to university We call this normative influence – that is, the reference group helps to set and enforce fundamental standards of conduct In contrast, a Harley-Davidson club or Manchester United fan club exerts comparative influence, whereby decisions about specific brands or activities are affected.17 Formal vs informal groups A reference group can take the form of a large, formal organisation that has a recognised structure, regular meeting times and officers Or it can be small and informal, such as a group of friends or students living in a university hall of residence Marketers tend to have more control over their influencing of formal groups because they are more easily identifiable and accessible 388 M10_SOLO6723_06_SE_C10.indd 388 3/31/16 8:24 PM www.downloadslide.com Reference groups This anti-tobacco advertisement draws on the legitimate and expert power represented by The British Heart Foundation, and combines it with stark images of the effects which smoking has on arteries – and thus on our health – to create a strong anti-smoking message Courtesy of British Heart Foundation In general, small, informal groups exert a more powerful influence on individual consumers These groups tend to be more involved in our day-to-day lives and to be more important to us, because they are high in normative influence Larger, formal groups tend to be more product- or activity-specific and thus are high in comparative influence Membership vs aspirational reference groups A membership reference group consists of people we actually know; whereas although we don’t know those in an aspirational reference group, we can admire them anyway These people are likely to be successful business people, athletes, performers, or whosoever appeals to us Not surprisingly, many marketing efforts that specifically adopt a reference group appeal concentrate on highly visible, widely admired figures (such as well-known athletes or performers) and link these people to brands so that the products they use or endorse also take on this aspirational quality.18 For instance David Beckham endorses a number of different products including Armani.19 One study of business students who aspired to the ‘executive’ role found a strong relationship between products they associated with their ideal selves (see Chapter 5) and those they assumed that real executives own.20 Of course, it’s worth noting that as social media usage increases, the line between those we ‘know’ and those we ‘friend’ gets blurrier Still, whether offline or online, we tend to seek out others who are similar Indeed, one study even found that people on Twitter tend to follow others who share their mood: people who are happy tend to re-tweet or reply to others who are happy, while those who are sad or lonely tend to the same with others who also post negative sentiments.21 389 M10_SOLO6723_06_SE_C10.indd 389 3/31/16 8:24 PM www.downloadslide.com Chapter 10  GROUPS AND SOCIAL MEDIA Identificational reference groups Because we tend to compare ourselves with those who are similar to us, many promotional strategies include ‘ordinary’ people whose consumption activities provide informational social influence How can we predict which people you know will become part of your identificational membership reference group? Several factors make it more likely: ● Propinquity As physical distance between people decreases and opportunities for inter-action increase, relationships are more likely to form We call this physical nearness propinquity An early study on friendship patterns in a housing complex showed this factor’s strong effects: residents were much more likely to be friends with the people next door than with those who lived only two doors away Furthermore, people who lived next to a staircase had more friends than those at the ends of a corridor (presumably, they were more likely to ‘bump into’ people using the stairs).22 Physical structure has a lot to with who we get to know and how popular we are ● Mere exposure We come to like persons or things simply as a result of seeing them more often, which social scientists call the mere exposure phenomenon.23 Greater frequency of contact, even if unintentional, may help to determine one’s set of local referents The same 390
