Impact of Advertisement on Consumer Behaviour with reference to Hindustan Unilever Soap Products

Abstract

Advertisement has a significant impact on consumer behaviour in the soap products market, especially in the case of Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL), a leading FMCG company in India. The study aims to explore the impact of advertisement on consumer behaviour regarding HUL's soap products. The research methodology involved the collection of primary data through a questionnaire survey conducted among a sample of 150 respondents in Chennai The findings indicate that advertising significantly influences consumers' behaviour when purchasing HUL's soap products. The majority of respondents reported that they were aware of HUL's soap products primarily through advertising campaigns, and it played a significant role in their purchase decision. The results also suggest that advertising influences consumers' perceptions of HUL's soap products' quality and benefits, which ultimately impacts their purchase behaviour. Furthermore, the study found that advertising has a positive impact on consumers' brand loyalty towards HUL's soap products. Consumers who were exposed to HUL's advertising campaigns were more likely to repurchase the same brand than those who were not. The study also highlights the importance of targeted advertising in influencing consumer behaviour, with HUL's advertising campaigns effectively targeting specific demographics and promoting their products' unique benefits. In conclusion, advertising plays a crucial role in shaping consumer behaviour regarding HUL's soap products. It helps create brand awareness, influence perceptions, and foster brand loyalty, ultimately driving sales and revenue growth for the company. Therefore, HUL should continue investing in effective advertising campaigns to maintain and strengthen its position in the soap products market.
