This is advertising message of CLEAR. Place oneself in

8、the competition complex market environment, the offscreen voice of CLEAR seemed meaningful, and it has spearhead its attack at Head Shoulders. The goal of CLEAR became the leader of dandruff shampoo with billion-dollar sales in three years. Since CLEARenter in Chinese market in 2007, it has more tha

9、n four years. But today, CLEAR still face the strong competition in the market, and development condition and achievements is still tepid. Where is the way of CLEAR in Chinese market? How to proceed develop? How to motivate consumers to buy their products? Grasp the consumer purchasing motivation ha

10、s become the main work of Unilever.The data in the thesis come from magazines, enterprise annual report, enterprises official website and survey in the store or supermarket. Analysing the motivation which affect the consumers buy CLEAR with Maslows hierarchy of needs and Mcguires psychological motiv

11、es, and find out how the target consumers unsatisfied needs impel them to purchase CLEAR. Finally, find out and solve the motivation and factors which would promote consumers buy CLEAR with 4Ps marketing mix.2. Models and Theories about motivation2.1 Important of motivationMotivation is the reason f

12、or behaviour, consumers purchase of each of these brand is caused by a different motive. For example, sometimes, consumers do not buy products. Instead, they buy motive satisfaction or problem solutions, thus, on the choice of hair care products, consumers do not buy shampoo or a chemical compound,

13、instead, they buy fashion, popular, sensual pleasure, and a host of other emotional and psychological benefits. Thus, managers must discover the motives that CLEAR can satisfy consumers need, and develop marketing mixes and motivation theories around these motives.2.2 Maslows hierarchy of needs and

14、McGuries psychological motivesConsumer motivations are energizing forces that activate behaviour and provide purpose and direction to that behaviour.2.2.1 Maslows hierarchy of needsMaslows need hierarchy states that basic motives must be minimally satisfied before more advanced motives are activated

15、. It proposes five levels of motivation: physiological, safety, social, esteem, and self-actualization.2.2.2 McGuries psychological motivesMcGuire has developed a more detailed set of motivesthe needs for consistency, causation, categorization, cues, independence, novelty, self-expression, ego-defen

16、se, assertion, rein-forcement, affiliation, and modeling. McGuire has developed a motive classification system that is more specific than Maslows.2.3 The impact for marketing strategies of motivationIt is important that any given consumption behaviour can satisfy more than one need. Likewise, the sa

17、me consumption behaviour can satisfy different needs at different times. Because of the large number of motives and the many different situations that consumers face, motivational conflict can occur, in an approach-approach conflict, the consumer face a choice between two at tractive alternatives. I

18、n an approach-avoidance conflict, the consumer faces both positive and negative consequences in the purchase of a particular product. And finally, in the avoidance-avoidance conflict, the consumer faces two undesirable alternative. 3. The target consumers motivation who may purchase CLEARConsumers a

19、re often aware of and will admit to the motives causing their behaviour. These are manifest motives. They can be discovered by standard marketing research techniques such as direct questioning. Direct advertising appeals can be made to these motives. At other times, consumers are unable or are unwil

20、ling to admit to the motives that are influencing them. These are latent motives. They can be determined by motivation research techniques such as word association, sentence completion, and picture response. While direct advertising appeals can be used, indirect appeals are often necessary. Both man

21、ifest and latent motives are operative in many purchase situations. Thus, if mangers want to know consumers motivation, they should be avoid to ask consumers directly, instead, rely on talks and try to guess it. And make a reasonable marketing planing.Through the market survey and observed friends h

22、abit of buying and using of shampoo, speculating according to the characteristics of the product, the results show that the consumers who used CLEAR have the following purchasing motivation.Good anti-dandruff effectGood smellMy friends used this brandPurchase CLEARMakes me feel more manly and more a

35、RIn the domestic shampoo market, many companies are facing a same problem Homogenization. In their marketing process, a significant task is to find thecustomer of their own products, to differentiate the needs of their customer, which is extremely important in executing the differentiated marketing

36、strategy. For those homogenized companies, the model of using a unique marketing strategy and differentiate a brand is a strategy that worth considering. 4Ps are the controllable factors in corporate marketing activities: Product, from a marketing point of view, the product is able to provide anythi

37、ng that used of people and meet the people of a need, including tangible products, services, personnel, organization, ideas, or their combination. Price, is the price the customers to buy products, including the discount, payment deadlines, price or pricing decisions related to the profits of an ent

38、erprise, the cost of compensation and whether it is conducive to product sales, promotion and other issues.

39、 for notification to the target market their products, services, image and philosophy, to convince and remind them trust, support and attention to any form of communication of the companys products. Advertising, promotion, personal selling, sales promotion is the four elements of the promotional mix

40、 of an institution. All below of those would using the 4P theory to analysis the marketing strategy of CLEAR and to find the current problems in its strategy. Several suggestions have also been made on how to improve its marketing strategy in the future.4.2 The marketing mix of CLEAR solve the unsat

41、isfied needs of target consumersl ProductFirst, there are three conditions to make the characteristics of the product to become a competitive advantage: consumers care about, competitors do not, the advantage of the enterprise. is hard to say it is an effective difference if do not meet a condition

42、of any. CLEAR launched with four differentiated: Dandruff and scalp nourishment function. It is a professional anti-dandruff shampoo tailored for the Chinese of CLEAR French technical center. Containing vitamin mineral group, depth nourish the scalp. The first professional male anti-dandruff shampoo

43、. All of these showing that CLEAR is better than Head Shoulders, and motives consumers purchase CLEAR. Second, on design, did not follow the usual luxury exogenous of Unilever is the worst plan of CLEAR with a too simple appearance of the packaging. So long time consumers see as CLEAR is a domestic

44、second-tier brands. Chinese like the warm colors, warm colors to make them feel happy, Chinese people like luxury packaging, because they believe that luxurious things that will make them seemed noble. Therefore, a popular product abroad may not popular in Chinese market. So CLEAR should do as the R

48、s, grocery store, bath, hair salons, hotels and other channels. However, due to the high prices at CLEAR, its presence only in the large shopping malls and supermarkets. 80% of the grocery store and small shops can not to purchase, and lead to resonant levels of coverage in the channels and the arrival rate levels lower than Head Shoulders. Therefore, the biggest problem need to solve to CLEAR is rapiding development of sales channels.ProductHead ShouldersREJOICEPANTENTHAZELINEMarket share22%18%15%12%ProductVS SASSOON
