TITLE: Survey On Preference Of People Towards Mobile Brands
AUTHOR: Bhakti Arun Mumbarkar
INTRODUCTION:
In today’s digital era, smartphones have become an essential part of everyday life, leading to intense competition among brands such as Apple Inc., Samsung Electronics, Xiaomi, and OnePlus. Consumer preference for these mobile brands is influenced by various factors including brand image, price, features, quality, and marketing strategies. While some consumers prefer Apple for its premium design and ecosystem, others choose Samsung for its innovation and wide range of options, Xiaomi for affordability and value for money, and OnePlus for performance and user experience. Understanding these preferences helps companies design better products and marketing strategies to meet customer expectations and gain competitive advantage.
OBJECTIVE: To compare 4 Famous Mobile Brands by the way of ANOVA
LITERATURE REVIEW:
1. Brand Loyalty Study
The study shows that brand loyalty is the key factor influencing smartphone purchases (Ahmed et al., 2019). Consumers prefer brands like Apple due to strong brand image, while Samsung attracts more users because of product variety. It also highlights that social influence and perceived quality affect preferences more than price (Ahmed et al., 2019).
2. Brand Preference Study
This study explains that brand image, advertising, features, and price satisfaction drive smartphone choice (Sari & Hidayat, 2023). Consumers prefer brands like Apple, Samsung, and Xiaomi due to both functional benefits and emotional connection. It also shows that marketing and brand perception strongly influence buying decisions (Sari & Hidayat, 2023).
