The combination of product attributes, pricing strategies, and distribution channels has a measurable impact on how consumers engage with traditional health drinks, with promotional efforts showing a complex, potentially negative, relationship.

Key Findings

  • 01Product, price, and place aspects have a positive influence on consumer behavior.
  • 02Promotion aspects have a negative influence on consumer behavior.
  • 03The majority of respondents consume jamu 'very rarely' (once in more than a month).
02

Application

Design takeaway

Re-evaluate promotional strategies for traditional health drinks, as current approaches may be counterproductive. Focus on enhancing product appeal, competitive pricing, and convenient access to drive consumption.

How to apply

When developing or marketing products, conduct thorough market research to understand how each element of the marketing mix affects target consumer behavior. Test promotional messages and channels rigorously before wide-scale implementation.

Project actions

  • 01When researching consumer behavior, consider all four P's of marketing (Product, Price, Place, Promotion).
  • 02Be aware that sometimes advertising can have the opposite effect you intend.
03

Method & Evidence

AimTo analyze how the marketing mix (product, price, promotion, place) influences the consumption behavior of traditional health drinks within a specific community.
MethodCross-sectional descriptive study with multiple linear regression analysis.
ProcedureData was collected over four months using a questionnaire with 10 instruments across four marketing mix variables. The data was then analyzed to determine the impact of each element on consumption behavior.
Sample320 respondents
ContextTraditional health drink (jamu) consumption in Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta.

Variables

IV["Product attributes","Price","Promotion","Place (Distribution)"]
DVConsumption behavior (frequency of consumption)
04

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

  • +Uses a quantitative approach (multiple linear regression) to establish relationships.
  • +Collects data from a substantial sample size (320 respondents).

Limitations

The findings are specific to a particular geographic location and product type. The study's focus on 'very rarely' consumption suggests that broader societal or cultural factors might also play a significant role.

Reliability & validity

The study uses multiple linear regression, which is a robust statistical method for assessing relationships. The cross-sectional design, however, limits the ability to establish causality definitively.

Think critically

Given that promotional activities had a negative influence, what specific aspects of promotion might be causing this effect, and how could they be redesigned to be more effective?

05

Design Principles

"The success of a product is determined not only by its inherent qualities and accessibility but also by the strategic communication and pricing that accompanies it, which must be carefully balanced to foster positive consumer engagement."

Understanding the interplay between the marketing mix and consumer behavior is crucial for developing effective strategies. This insight highlights that while core product, price, and place are drivers, promotional tactics require careful consideration to avoid unintended negative consequences.

06

What This Means for Your Design

This study shows that how a product is made, how much it costs, and where you can buy it all make people more likely to buy traditional health drinks. But, the way it's advertised actually makes people less likely to buy it, and most people don't drink these drinks very often anyway.

How to use in your project

  • 1.Use this research to justify investigating the impact of different marketing mix elements on user adoption of a new product concept.
  • 2.Cite this study when discussing how promotional strategies can inadvertently decrease engagement.
