1. Type of consumer buying decision
The buying decisions, which characterize purchases at Ethel’s can be best described by limited decision making (Lamb, Hair & McDaniel, 2011). The reason for such categorisation lies in the characteristics of the consumers behaviour, when buyers are making a purchase. Firstly, most of the Ethel’s customers are already familiar with the taste of chocolate, however, they may not be aware of the Ethel’s chocolate brand. Secondly, although consumers feel involved with a particular chocolate brand or experience, it is highly unlikely that they will put extra effort in searching further information on ...

Though brand development is by no means a better idea, today consumers have more accessible to information and more choices than ever before. The result is greater expectations, and the brand’s message must captivate the consumer immediately.

Kakao Chocolate is a two-shop chocolate mecca near St. Louis, Missouri. They sell hand-made chocolate concoctions, special treats, cater for special events, and serve hot or cold specialty coffees. Their website and Facebook pages are both interactive, with options for customers to place orders through the website or in person.
My first impression of Kakao Chocolate is that they are a tiny mom-and-pop shop that sells less-than-premium chocolate. The prices listed on the page seem much less than those typically listed for premium chocolates, and they have only two locations, which leads me to believe that they are not ...

Question 1:

Cost-based pricing is rather self-explanatory. It basically mirrors that costs that a company has faced while manufacturing a product in addition to the packaging, and might be a bit more, but never less than that. This method of pricing will beneficial to Cowgirl, for products such as Spicy Chocolate Truffle and even the Muslin bag because they form a majority of the revenues, 50% and 16% respectively. This entails that the demand for these products is relatively high and even if they’re highly priced based on their costs, customers will still purchase them.
