Vi Dan is a product of VICO Co., Ltd., produced by Vietnamese people, so Vi Dan is made forVietnamese, brearing Vietnamese cultural styles Hence Vi Dan has cited that segment:
Firstly, the demographic Vi Dan targets are all gender, but mainly housewives The price of Vi
Dan is not expensive, which is used for people living in middle and low income areas in the centralregion Vi Dan’s potential customers are people whose ages from 18 to 60, have high using demand
Secondly, the psychographic Consumers are very busy in modern life so they are very smart in
choosing products One important factor is depending on period during marriage and family size.Because women who get married (especially the housewives) will have higher using demand thanyoung women Besides, it depends on their family size If their family has few people, they will choosethe small size of product On the contratry, the bigger family size is, the more amount of washingpowder they use With the housewives, they like high quality and cheap price products They can go
to supermarkets or markets at weekend to see all the goods and decide to buy the best products fortheir family Sometimes they will be affected by recommendation from acquaintances Housewivesoften stay at home to take care of their family, so they watch TV in their free time During watching TV,they can see Vi Dan’s advertisements, these things also influence on them

Trang 16IV KEY INSIGHTS
1 General behavior – Factors that consumers are interested in buying and using process
In this section, the analysis will be conducted based on face-to-face interview responses with two objects, there are housewife and worker, both of them do not use Vi Dan detergent products The purpose of this survey is to identify better what attracts the average detergent consumers and how other detergent brands retain their consumers.
a Behavior, opinions and determinants of buying behavior of the worker
Name: Huynh Hong ThamAge: 24 Occupation: Barista
Pre-purchasing.
Product: Tham has used four types of washing powder (includes Omo, Tide, Aba, Suft).
Currently, she is using Omo and has been loyal to this brand for four years The package factor does not play an important role in her buying decision And the different scents mentioned in the advertising for laundry detergent go unnoticed.
Price: For a worker, the factor of price is outstanding While deciding to buy one of two
different types of detergent products, Tham's quality factor is placed behind the price factor.
Promotion: When being asked which detergent advertisement made the most impression,
Tham replied that it is the advertisement of Aba detergent because it follows a different style from the past detergent advertisement, does not focus on the typical uses and advantages but focus on the everyday conversations and then randomly lead to the product She is not impressed by the sampling and trial forms while shopping because of her the current product
is meeting the demand, so no matter what promotion is, she does not change other products.
Place: Tham trusts to buy laundry detergent in the supermarket because the price is cheaper and
more stable than the grocery stores and she also prefers the supermarket space When being asked
to choose between product A that is widely sold in many locations and product B that is affordable andquality but only sold in only one store, Tham chooses product A because it is easy to find and buy It isclearly to conclude that Tham favors convenience over quality
Purchasing.
Her buying laundry detergent decision is easily altered by offers and discounts that comes from other products she does not use After the situation was put in place, she said she would consider the offer, if it gave her the feeling that it was a good deal, she would buy it Therefore, it can be seen that Tham's loyalty level to the Omo detergent is not high.
The situation is based on two pictures of two detergent packages (a simple white design (A), blue and red color with a more prominent design (B)), when being asked about the more attractive package, her answer

download by : skknchat@gmail.com
Trang 17was type A with white package because it gave a minimalistic feeling and the colors were comfortable and fresh, she commented that package B looked very out of fashion and confused This shows that package plays a quite important role in attracting Tham's attention Tham will continue to choose to buy Omo with another net weight in case the weight which she often uses runs out of stock The layout of laundry detergents in supermarkets which is placed at eye level also impresses her more.
Post-purchasing.
Tham wanted the package to have a design that was easy to open before using, although the current product of Tham still had to use scissors when opening; however, this did not make she feel uncomfortable Before using Omo, she used to try to utilize Tide and Aba, then change to Omo for long-term is according to Tham's personal opinion She thinks that Omo’s quality is better and cleaner, so she does not pay attention to the factor of not cautic and pay much attention to the change of Omo’s quality over time In addition, Tham's behavior of using Omo stems from her family's habit of using this product, namely her mother.
Conclusion: From the above references, Tham tends to focus on prices, discounts,
promotions, advantages over usage, she is not attracted to sampling and trial She uses Omo because it is a family habit, influenced by her mother Lastly, her loyalty to Omo is low.
b Behavior, opinions and determinants of buying behavior of the housewife
Name: Luong Bich Huu Age: 58 Occupation: Housewife
Pre-purchasing.
Product: Mrs Huu has used five different washing powder products They are Tide, Omo, Lix, Net,
Ariel, Viso Recently, she has been using Omo and her loyalty to this product lasts for five years Thesame as Tham, Mrs Huu does not care much about the design of the product’s package She is notattracted by the kind of smell of washing powder through TVC, either
Price: The same as the mentality of the worker, Mrs Huu has been known as a housewife who also pay
much attention to the price But if the quality is not good she will not care about the price is cheap or not
Promotion: She has a big impression on the Aba TVC because of its unreasonable details,
different from other washing powder’s TVC It is easily seen that the kind of promotion such
as sampling, trial in market and supermarket could not make her pay attention to other products if she does not have the demand of finding another better product From the above facts, she would not make buying decision via these kinds of promotion.
Place: According to the question of which one is worth trusting, buying at the supermarket and buying at the
grocery store, the answer of Mrs Huu is that she trusts both of them, but she would like the supermarket rather than the grocery store since the price is stable and there are attractive promotions such as discounts,give presents, sales off, etc When being asked to choose between product A that is widely sold in many locations and product B that is affordable and quality but only sold in the only one store, her

Trang 18selection was the product B and she explained that she was willing to go to the only store to buy the washing powder if it was satisfied with her requirement.
Purchasing.
Her buying laundry detergent decision is quite steadily with offers and discounts that come from other products she does not use After the situation was put in place, she said she would continue buying her washing powder no matter how attractive the promotion is So, it
is believed that her loyalty to the product Omo is quite high.
The situation is based on two pictures of two detergent packages (a simple white design (A), blue and red color with a more prominent design (B)), when being asked about the more attractive package, her answer was B with red package because its design looks like a detergent product while the package A does not have a similar design of a laundry detergent This showed that her mindset refered kind of familiar package for the detergent.
Mrs Huu will not only continue to buy Omo with another net weight but also buy a bigger net weight in case the weight which she often uses runs out of stock.
Post-purchasing.
After a long period of using washing powder, Mrs Huu said that the package needed to be improved
in order to open and store easily Before changing to Omo, she used to loyal to Viso and Lix, then sheleft because the Omo’s quality was better, its smell also better than Viso’s and Lix’s During usingprocess, Mrs Huu released that its package changed and its prices increased over time; however, shecontinued using Omo products as this change did not affect her much
Conclusion: Through the above answers, what factors Mrs Huu cares about are product quality,
price, and place, respectively In addition, she is not interested in sampling and trial form at the salessite Mrs Huu is the key factor in her family, who makes buying-decision and she is not influenced byother factors in her buying behavior As a result, her loyalty to Omo products is quite high
