¿Cómo son los consumidores del mercado de las mayorías en venezuela? : una aproximación a la construcción del perfil psicográfico

Abstract

This investigation thoroughly discusses a profile of low-income consumers based on an understanding of their environment, everyday life, values, aspirations, and the dynamics of their purchasing and consumption habits. An ethnographic study of households was conducted in which sixty eight interviews were carried out among consumers at low socioeconomic levels in Venezuela. The main finding underline the fact that there are differences that would allow segmentation of these consumers into two groups. “I’m not doing bad and I’m improving” and “I’m not doing well, and I can’t see a way out of this”. Despite these differences, both groups share important similarities in relation to such values as family, solidarity, and honesty, and the conviction that success comes through education and work.
