OUTLINE:• Understand that other people and groups often influence our decisions
about what to buy.
• We are motivated to buy or use products in order to be consistent with what other people do.
• The group contexts can have distinct influences on how we make consumer decisions.
• Word of mouth about products (good and bad) often is more influential than the advertising we see.
• Marketers are using a variety of techniques to harness the power of consumer word of mouth.
• Online technologies and social media can accelerate the impact of word of mouth communication.
• Social media is changing the way companies and consumers interact.

Reference groups:
A reference group is ‘an actual or imaginary individual or group conceived of having significant relevance upon an individual’s evaluations, aspirations, or behavior’.
Reference groups influence consumers in three ways.• Informational• Utilitarian• Value-expressive
![Page 4: Groups & Social Media Presented By: Group B Members: Fatin Atique Muhammad Shahid Laraib Shoaib](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051516/56649edd5503460f94bee544/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Power of reference groups
Social power: “The capacity to alter the actions of others”
• Referent power: A person admires the qualities of a person he tries to copy the referent’s behavior for e.g.: type of car he drives, clothes worn by him or hair styles.
• Information power: Individual possesses informative power simply because she knows about something that others would like to know.
![Page 5: Groups & Social Media Presented By: Group B Members: Fatin Atique Muhammad Shahid Laraib Shoaib](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051516/56649edd5503460f94bee544/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Power of reference groups:
• Legitimate power: Sometimes people grant power to others by virtue of their social agreement or example: police officers, soldiers and sometimes professors.
• Expert power: Expert power is derived form the professionals about a content.
• Reward power: Reward power is used to create a feeling of positive reinforcements on to the consumers for e.g.: rewards or free products along with purchase of one product.
• Coercive power: We exert coercive power when we influence someone because of physical or social intimidation.

Types of reference groups:
Normative influence vs. Comparative influences
Helps to set and enforce fundamental standards of conduct.
Comparative influences affect decisions about specific brands or activities.
Formal vs. Informal Reference Groups
A reference group can take the form of a large, formal organization that has a recognized structure, regular meeting times and officers.
Or it can be small and informal, such as a group of friends or students living in a university hall of residence. Marketers tend to have more control over their influencing of formal groups because they are more easily identifiable and accessible.

Brand communities vs. tribes
• A brand community is a set of consumers who share a set of social relationships based upon usage or interest in a product. Unlike other kinds of communities, these members typically do not live near each other and they meet only for brief periods at organized events called brandfest they also exhibit brand loyalty.
• The notion of a consumer tribe is similar, because this refers to a group of people who share a lifestyle and who can identify with each other through a shared allegiance to an activity or a product. Although these tribes are often unstable and short-lived.
![Page 8: Groups & Social Media Presented By: Group B Members: Fatin Atique Muhammad Shahid Laraib Shoaib](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051516/56649edd5503460f94bee544/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Membership vs. aspirational reference groups
• Some reference groups consist of people the consumer actually knows about while aspirational references consist of people the consumer can either identify with or admire.
![Page 9: Groups & Social Media Presented By: Group B Members: Fatin Atique Muhammad Shahid Laraib Shoaib](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051516/56649edd5503460f94bee544/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Identification membership reference group is affected by several factors, including:
• Propinquity: When the physical distance between people decreases and the number of opportunities to interact increase, people are more likely to form friendships. For example, people living next door in a housing complex are more likely to be friends than those living farther apart.
• Mere Exposure: We come to like people or things that we see more often.
• Group cohesiveness: This is the degree to which group members are attracted to each other and how much each values their membership in the group

Positive vs. Negative reference groups
Reference groups may exert either a positive or a negative influence on consumption behaviors. In most cases, consumers model their behavior to be consistent with what they think the group expects of them. In some cases, though, consumers may try to distance themselves from other people or groups who function as avoidance groups.
