Publication: Marka farkındalığı ile satın alma niyeti arasındaki ilişki bağlamında televizyon dizilerinde ürün yerleştirme
Abstract
Günümüzde işletmeler, rekabet içinde oldukları markaların bir adım önüne geçmek adına geleneksel olmayan pazarlama uygulamalarına yönlenmişlerdir. Tüketiciyi daha az rahatsız edecek şekilde konumlanan ve yaratıcılık seviyeleriyle daha dikkat çekici olan bu uygulamalardan biri de ürün yerleştirme uygulamalarıdır. Ürün yerleştirmeyi, markalı bir ürünün film, dizi, tiyatro, bilgisayar oyunu vb. içeriklerde reklam vurgusu yapılmadan konumlandırılması olarak tanımlamak mümkündür. Ürün yerleştirme uygulamaları, 1930’lu yıllarda sinema filmleriyle beraber hayatımıza girmiş ve zaman içerisinde başta televizyon mecrası olmak üzere, tiyatro eserleri, romanlar, dijital oyunlar, internet ortamı, klipler ve konserler gibi pek çok farklı mecrada uygulanmaya başlanmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı; televizyon dizilerinde yer alan ürün yerleştirme uygulamalarının, marka farkındalığı ve satın alma niyeti oluşturmadaki etki seviyesini ölçmek, ayrıca marka farkındalığının satın alma niyetine etki seviyesini tespit etmektir. Bu amaçla, bir anket uygulaması yapılmış ve katılımcıların, ürün yerleştirmeye yönelik tutumları ölçülmeye çalışılmıştır. Sonrasında, bu tutumların marka farkındalığına ve satın alma niyetine etkisi analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmanın sonucunda, ürün yerleştirme uygulamalarının marka farkındalığı yaratmaya yardımcı olduğu ve marka farkındalığının da satın alma niyetinde etkisinin söz konusu olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
