    Consumers Choice

    Most aspects of my decision making process fit the description of a rational choice, I considered both the costs and benefits. The costs being it is really expensive to own a car and then you have to continually put gas in it and worry about how much it costs if it breaks down.

    Consumer Behaviour

    All the competitors were engaged in aggressive promotion and soon started a 'price war' in order to outdo one another. For the next six months, each of them offered big discounts and gifts (such as TV / audio systems) with the return ticket on different routes. The most profitable and commercially viable routes were the major targets of these price related competitions. The consumer was the ultimate beneficiary and in short time, the companies started facing losses due to this price-cutting.…

Moreover, consumers are provided a free cup of Umpqua-brand coffee, Wi-Fi Internet access and television screen with comfortable seating, they could enjoy the music while surfing the Web to shop for banking products. This makes consumers feel like they are home rather than a bank branch; therefore, consumers can comfortably gather and conduct business. Umpqua Bank also maximise consumers’ financial comfort by teaching youngsters how to make, manage and save money so that they could accomplish their financial goals in the future. In addition, in order to enhance relationships between employees and customers, Umpqua bank sent their employees to customer-service courses offered by Ritz-Carlton. This ensures that every customer receives first-class attention no matter the size of their bank accounts. Furthermore, Umpqua Bank had improved their technology by introducing Innovation Lab that allows customers to easily access product information and listen to podcasts. To sum up, by making itself relevant to customers, Umpqua Bank had brought an easier and more enjoyable banking experience to customers as well as enhances customers’ motivations.…
