Solution
Q# 3:
Answer:
A brand community is a specific group of people formed by brand or company that
may not be geographically together, but they have a similar level of interest
and likeliness for a product or service. Benefits of forming this brand
community are as follows:
1. More
customer satisfaction.
2. These
people spread good word of mouth.
3. Increased
brand customers.
4. Increased
brand revenues.
5. More
marketers of brand.
6. More
customer experience.
Motor
trike is found to be a basic source of more numbers of customers of the brand.
Most of the customers visit the manufacturing place to feel pleasure. So it can
increase revenues and customers of the company if Motor Trike utilises this
brand community.
Q# 4)
Answer:
Moore reached out to professors who knew some communities. He got the data from
the customer database and sent mails to 2200 customers from which only 723 were
beneficial. Mails contained a questionnaire on which postage was paid and
address was mentioned on the envelope. This contained questions related to the
product that respondents had to answer. The unusual thing in this survey was
that the response rate was very low. This survey type was not much reliable and
successful because most of the people didn’t have spare time to answer a lot of
questions and send back the mail.
