40 FACTORS AFFECTING THE PURCHASING OF SHAMPOO BRANDS AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON SATISFACTION OF WOMEN CUSTOMERS ABSTRACT Cosmetics have been traditionally used by women to groom their physical appearance and, presumably, their physical attractiveness. From a self-presentational perspective, argued that cosmetics are used specifically for grooming behaviors and in general function to manage and control not only social impressions but also self-image. Self Image in turn provides self confidence.the majority of the women customers prefer a particular brand of shampoo and the factor analysis indicates that the healthiness, value, safety, easiness and familiarity are the factors affecting the purchasing of shampoo brands by the women customers. The regression analysis shows that healthiness, value, safety, easiness and familiarity are positively and significantly influencing the level of satisfaction of shampoo brands. Key words: Cosmetics - Socio Economic Factors Healthiness - Familiarity

41 FACTORS AFFECTING THE PURCHASING OF SHAMPOO BRANDS AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON SATISFACTION OF WOMEN CUSTOMERS INTRODUCTION The global cosmetic industry or Multi nationals have been captivated by India in a fascinating manner - the world s second most populous country - over 1 billion people - even one percent of captured market at estimated rates is a huge sum for some companies. India has seen a growth in the cosmetics industry especially in the recent years. The beauty business in India is growing phenomenally with the cosmetics market growing at per cent annually, twice as fast as that of the United States and European markets. The retail beauty and cosmetics market in India currently estimated at USD 950 million is pegged at USD 2.68 billion by the year The desire to improve one s physical attractiveness seems to be an inherent characteristic of most individuals. Cosmetics have been traditionally used by women to control their physical appearance and, presumably, their physical attractiveness. From a selfpresentational perspective, argued that cosmetics are used specifically for grooming behaviors and in general function to manage and control not only social impressions but also self-image (for example, body image, self-perceptions, and mood states). Since grooming products are considered as a pervasive element of women s culture. As a general result, the exposure to pictures of good-looking and even slightly aboveaverage-looking females lowered the self-image of exposed women and increased dissatisfaction with their own appearance. The body image is an important component of the self-concept and has stimulated the demand of certain products and services, such as dietary, slimming, exercise and cosmetic items. In western cultures, one of the commonly recognized reasons women use cosmetics is to improve their physical attractiveness. With this

42 background, the present study is attempted to examine the factors affecting the purchasing of shampoo brands and their influence on satisfaction of women customers. METHODOLOGY Among the different cities in Tamil Nadu, the Chennai city has been purposively selected for the present study. The 600 women customers of cosmetic products have been selected for the present study by adopting random sampling technique and the data and information pertain to the year In order to understand the socio-economic features of women customers, the frequency and percentage analysis are carried out. In order to identify the factors affecting the purchasing of shampoo brands by the women customers, the exploratory factor analysis has been applied. In order to study the influence of factors affecting the purchase of shampoo brands on satisfaction of women customers, the multiple linear regression has been employed RESULTS AND DISCUSSION SOCIO - ECONOMIC FEATURES OF THE WOMEN CUSTOMERS The socio-economic features of the women customers of cosmetic products were analyzed and the results are presented in Table 1.

43 TABLE 1 SOCIO-ECONOMIC FEATURES OF THE WOMEN CUSTOMERS Particulars Customers (N = 600) Customers (N = 600) Particulars Frequency Percent Frequency Percent Age (Years) Educational Qualification Primary Secondary Higher Secondary Graduation Above Post Graduation Occupation Monthly Income (Rs.) Private Sector Public Sector Self- Employed Professionals Above Students Marital Status Housewife Unmarried Business Married The results show that about per cent of women customers of cosmetic products belong to the age group of years followed by years (29.83 per cent), years (12.00 per cent), years (11.17 per cent) and above 55 years (4.83 per cent). The results indicate that about per cent of women customers of cosmetic products are educated up to post graduation followed by graduation (23.00 per cent), secondary education (7.17 per cent), higher secondary education (5.83 per cent) and primary education (3.00 per cent).

44 It is observed that about per cent of women customers of cosmetic products are employed in private sector followed by public sector (24.16 per cent), professionals (19.00 per cent), housewife (13.17 per cent), self-employed(8.00 per cent), business (7.17 per cent) and students (3.17 per cent). It is apparent that about per cent of women customers of cosmetic products belong to the monthly income group of Rs Rs followed by above Rs (22.00 per cent), Rs Rs (6.17 per cent) and Rs Rs (3.83 per cent). It is clear that about per cent of women customers of cosmetic products are married and the rest of per cent of women customers of cosmetic products are unmarried. BRAND PREFERENCE OF SHAMPOO The brand preference of shampoo by women customers was analyzed and the results are presented in Table 2. TABLE 2 BRAND PREFERENCE OF SHAMPOO BY THE WOMEN CUSTOMERS Sl. No. Shampoo Brands Number of Women Customers Percentage 1. Sun Silk All Clear Clinic Plus Pantene Head & Shoulder Total

45 The results show that about per cent of women customers prefer Clinic Plus brand of shampoo followed by All Clear (28.00 per cent), Sun Silk (22.00 per cent), Head & Shoulder (12.00 per cent) and Pantene (2.00 per cent). It is inferred that the majority of the women customers prefer Clinic Plus brand of shampoo. FACTORS AFFECTING THE PURCHASING OF SHAMPOO BRANDS In order to identify the factors affecting the purchasing of shampoo brands by the women customers, the exploratory factor analysis has been employed. The principal component method of factor analysis was carried out with Eigen values greater than one through Varimax rotation and the results obtained through rotated component matrix are presented in Table 3. Sl. No. TABLE 3 FACTORS AFFECTING THE PURCHASING OF SHAMPOO BRANDS Attributes Factor - I Rotated Factors Loadings on Factor - II Factor - III Factor - IV Factor - 1.

46 % of Variance Cumulative % of Variance Cronbach s Alpha 0.87 Source: Primary & Computed Data Extraction Method: Principal Component Analysis. Rotation Method: Varimax with Kaiser Normalization. Rotation converged in 8 iterations. There are five independent groups which are extracted accounting for a total of per cent of variations on 20 attributes. The each of the five factors contributes to per cent, per cent, per cent, per cent and 9.06 per cent respectively. Factor - I: From the table, it is inferred that out of 20 attributes, six attributes have their high, relatively tightly grouped factor loadings on factor - I. This factor consists of: Prevent Dandruff (0.55) Suitable for Hair (0.54) Soften Hair (0.58) Hair Growth (0.63) No Rough Hair (0.59) Removing Oil Dirt (0.61) This factor is named as HEALTHINESS. Factor - II: is formed with: Brand Name (0.74) Value for Money (0.59) Fragrance (0.65) Price (0.59) Quantity (0.62)

47 This factor is named as VALUE Factor - III: This factor includes: Avoid Hair Loss (0.61) Naturalness (0.58) Vitamin Content (0.52) Conditioners (0.55) This factor is named as SAFETY Factor - IV: This factor is formed with: Easy Availability (0.62) Easy to Rinse (0.56) Attractive Package (0.58) This factor is named as EASINESS Factor - V: This factor includes: Advertisement (0.52) Recommendation by Doctors (0.54) This factor is named as FAMILIARITY The Cronbach s Alpha of the scale was 0.87 indicating that each measure demonstrated acceptable internal consistency. It is inferred that healthiness, value, safety, easiness and familiarity are the factors affecting the purchasing of shampoo brands by the women customers.

48 INFLUENCE OF FACTORS AFFECTING THE PURCHASING OF SHAMPOO BRANDS ON SATISFACTION OF WOMEN CUSTOMERS In order to study the influence of factors affecting the purchase of shampoo brands on satisfaction of women customers, the multiple linear regression has been employed and the results are presented in Table 4. The level of satisfaction is considered as dependent variable and the factors derived from explanatory factor analysis are considered as independent variables. TABLE 4 INFLUENCE OF FACTORS AFFECTING THE PURCHASING OF SHAMPOO BRANDS ON SATISFACTION LEVEL OF WOMEN CUSTOMERS Regression Sl. No. Particulars t - Value Sig. Co-efficient

It shows that about per cent of variation in dependent variable (Level of Satisfaction) is explained by the independent variables (Factors Affecting Purchase of Shampoo Brands). The F-value of is significant at five per cent level indicating that the regression model is good fit. The results show that healthiness, value and safety are positively influencing the level of satisfaction of shampoo brands of women customers at one per cent level, while, easiness and familiarity are positively influencing the level of satisfaction of shampoo brands of women customers at five per cent level. Hence, there is a significant influence of factors affecting the purchase of shampoo brands on satisfaction level of women customers. CONCLUSION The foregoing analysis shows that the majority of women customers of cosmetic products belong to the age group of years and the most of the women customers of cosmetic products are post graduates. The majority of the women customers of cosmetic

50 products are employed in private sector and the most of the women customers of cosmetic products belong to the monthly income group of Rs Rs and the most of them are married. The majority of the women customers prefer Clinic Plus brand of shampoo and the factor analysis indicates that the healthiness, value, safety, easiness and familiarity are the factors affecting the purchasing of shampoo brands by the women customers. The regression analysis shows that healthiness, value, safety, easiness and familiarity are positively and significantly influencing the level of satisfaction of shampoo brands.

54 BRAND PREFERENCE AND LOYALTY OF WOMEN CUSTOMERS TOWARDS HAIR OIL BRANDS INTRODUCTION The global cosmetic industry or Multi nationals have been captivated by India in a fascinating manner - the world s second most populous country - over 1 billion people - even one percent of captured market at estimated rates is a huge sum for some companies. India has seen a growth in the cosmetics industry especially in the recent years. The beauty business in India is growing phenomenally with the cosmetics market growing at per cent annually, twice as fast as that of the United States and European markets. The retail beauty and cosmetics market in India currently estimated at USD 950 million is pegged at USD 2.68 billion by the year The demand for cosmetic products, particularly in urban population is steadily rising owing to various reasons, for example, mall culture, better purchasing power, concern for looking better, by both men and women, nature of the job, development in advertisement technology and in general, availability of a wide range of cosmetic products. The desire to improve one s physical attractiveness seems to be an inherent characteristic of most individuals. Cosmetics have been traditionally used by women to control their physical appearance and, presumably, their physical attractiveness. From a selfpresentational perspective, argued that cosmetics are used specifically for grooming behaviors and in general function to manage and control not only social impressions but also self-image (for example, body image, self-perceptions, and mood states). Since grooming products are considered as a pervasive element of women s culture. As a general result, the exposure to pictures of good-looking and even slightly aboveaverage-looking females lowered the self-image of exposed women and increased dissatisfaction with their own appearance. The body image is an important component of the
