Course name: FEKH29 - Bachelor Thesis in Marketing, 15 University Credit Points

Authors: Johanna Arnborger, Ellinor Johannesson och Hedvig Spenner Crona

Advisor: Oskar Christensson

Keywords: White snus, marketing, nicotine addiction, loyalty, change of image

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine how young people’s attitude to and everyday consumption of health-hazardous products can change due to its marketing.

Methodology: A qualitative study has been conducted using an abductive and hermeneutic approach. Furthermore, the data collection consists of primary data that is based on structured focus group interviews and secondary data that is based on literature, internet sources and scientific papers.

Theoretical perspective: The theoretical framework is based on the model The Brand Resonance Model which is central within Brand Management.

Empirical foundation: The basis for the empirical data is based on two focus group interviews with four people in each group. All respondents are within the group age 18 to 25 and consume white snus.

Conclusions: The study showed that, despite the prevailing health trend among young people and a consciousness of the negative health effects with nicotine, companies manage to market their products in order to create positive associations towards them. Furthermore, this results in a harmful nicotine addiction that contributes to repurchases and increased consumption of white snus. Such a combination turned out to be factors that drive purchase intention of white snus and brand loyalty among young customers. (Less)

Kursnamn: FEKH29 - Examensarbete i marknadsföring på Kandidatnivå, 15 högskolepoäng

Författare: Johanna Arnborger, Ellinor Johannesson och Hedvig Spenner Crona

Handledare: Oskar Christensson

Nyckelord: Vitt snus, marknadsföring, nikotinberoende, lojalitet, imageförändring

Syfte: Syftet med studien är att skapa en förståelse kring hur unga människors inställning till och vardaglig konsumtion av hälsofarliga produkter kan förändras på grund av dess marknadsföring.

Metod: En kvalitativ studie har genomförts med en abduktiv ansats samt ett hermeneutiskt förhållningssätt. Vidare är uppsatsen baserad på datainsamling som utgörs av primärdata som bygger på helstrukturerade fokusgruppsintervjuer samt sekundärdata i form av böcker, internetkällor och ett flertal vetenskapliga artiklar.

Teoretiskt perspektiv: Den teoretiska referensramen utgörs av modellen The Brand Resonance Pyramid som är central inom Brand Management.

Empiri: Grunden för den empiriska datan utgörs av två fokusgruppsintervjuer bestående av fyra personer inom åldersgruppen 18 till 25 år i de båda grupperna, som alla konsumerar vitt snus.

Resultat: Studien visade att trots den rådande hälsotrenden bland unga och en medvetenhet om nikotinets negativa konsekvenser, lyckas företag marknadsföra sina produkter för att på så sätt skapa positiva associationer till dessa. Vidare resulterar detta i ett skadligt nikotinberoende som bidrar till återköp och ökad konsumtion av vitt snus. En sådan kombination visade sig vara faktorer som driver köp av vitt snus och varumärkeslojalitet bland unga konsumenter. (Less)
