Colour plays an important role in marketing products.  It is a powerful marketing tool that influences consumer purchases in many aspects.  Marketers must explore the harmony of colours for successful marketing of products.  Nearly all products sold today have colourful facades.  Selecting the right colours to use has an enormous impact on product sales. While no single set of rules governs colour choices, research has established general guidelines based on the principle of associative learning, the relationship between colour and emotion. The researcher made a diagnostic study on the psychology of colour influences consumers buying behaviour.  Secondary data has been extensively used in this research.  Colour properties like hue, saturation and value, were discussed. Usage of colours in the packing of products, how colours earn brand image to a product, how colours help marketers to communicate the brand to customers and how to match colours with customer’s personality are extensively discussed. Conclusions were drawn based on this diagnostic study.

<p>Facebook is one of the leading and rapidly growing online networks. With over 845 million users, Facebook is a very effective place for businesses. There is possibility to attract new customers, build online relationships and use Facebook as an online marketing communication channel. With its highly targeted marketing features and its smooth ability to spread information across the networks of each other, Facebook becomes an important marketing place for marketers these days. Facebook is a convenient medium for customers and prospects to communicate directly to brand representative or about your brand with their friends. However, the question is, which group of people are actually receiving the information and does this information influence their buying behaviour?</p><p>This paper aims to answer this question based on a study regarding the online activities of 200 Facebook users, by identifying and understanding the consumers buying behaviour varied with different factors like age, gender, occupation, income and how different factors related to Facebook have influenced the respondents’ perception of Facebook marketing in Kathmandu valley. The secondary data comes from several reports, past research, published articles, books, newspaper, website and journals. For clarity purposes, data obtained was reported using simple percentages and frequencies. The study uses mathematical tool, SPSS and Microsoft excel to present the data into quantitative form.</p><p>Results of the analysis indicates that although marketers spend hours in building brand image, the study found that consumers are less concern about the brand image while making a purchase decision. The findings also reveals that people are more influenced by word of mouth and opinion given by the people they know on Facebook and it substantially affects their buying behaviour. The least effective Facebook marketing factor is celebrity endorsement which implicates that consumers are more affected by views of friends and family rather than endorsement done by celebrities. This calls for more conjunct efforts on the part of companies, ad agencies and advertisers to extend their brand equity and build their customer base. Marketers should adopt relationship marketing strategy and work on bonding with customers for positive impact with better communication and interaction. The targeted customer should be the opinion leaders and social group to facilitate more patronage of the marketed product or service.</p><p>Journal of Business and Social Sciences Research, Vol. 1, Issue 1, pp. 111-128</p>

Purpose This paper aims to provide scholars and practitioners with an innovative method of analyzing luxury brand associations in social media (i.e. Twitter). To do so, authors investigated the alignment between luxury brand identity and luxury brand image in online communication, taking into consideration firm- and user-generated content (UGC) in the form of bloggers’ contents. This paper introduces new tools that luxury brand managers could use to manage and adapt the way they communicate and interact with their customers. Design/methodology/approach The study adopts a qualitative approach based on a content analysis of Twitter posts of six luxury fashion brands (1,334 posts) and the related Twitter electronic word-of-mouth of fashion bloggers (329 tweets). Findings The results show a match between luxury brand identity and luxury brand image on Twitter. Specifically, the findings indicate that both brands and bloggers stress the same dimensions of luxury (aesthetic, desirable, symbolic, restricted accessibility and hedonistic experience) confirming that the ways they communicate luxury brands to consumers are aligned. Moreover, the results suggest that luxury brands could reinforce their brand value by making more use of words that are semantically related to luxury. Originality/value This study approaches the relationship between social media and luxury brands in a novel way and provides scholars and managers with a tool for monitoring the gap between desired and perceived brand associations.
