Rover customer.

customers value luxury brand and exemplary customer service. This is also sets

a target market for the brand, which are financially successful individuals. Luxury

saloons and sports cars also appealed to them, which Jaguar Land Rover is

alternatives, Jaguar Land Rover will still be at a priority for it meets the

customers needs, wants and archetype for an exemplary brand.

features of the cars, which Jaguar Land Rover also provide; satisfying them and

new factory in Chan Shu in order to be more consistent with its goals of

competing with the big brands like Volkswagen, BMW and Mercedes. Cherry andJaguar Land Rover will continue to meet the demands of the Chinese Market

who values luxury brands and exemplary service.

3. To what extent could it be said that Jaguar Land Rover is the only

non-German premium vehicle brand that has a global credibility?

Jaguar Land Rover is owned by Tata Motors of India. The company has

been able to export Jaguars to 63 countries & 78% of Land Rovers to 16

countries. Jaguar Land Rover may be lined up with Mercedes Benz, Audi, BMW,

which are German car brands and Lexus which is a luxury vehicle division of

Japanese automaker Toyota Motor Corporation. Jaguar is in that league interms of prestige and awareness.

4. Explain how both positive and negative attitude towards a brand

develop. How can the brand change customer attitude towards it?

Since a certain product or brand is usually developed for customer

satisfaction, positive attitudes toward a brand may arise from the customer being

satisfied or even delighted with the product and his/her expectations been

completely met. Furthermore, delightful experience upon using a certain product

for the first time, through the word-of-mouth influence can create a 'domino effect'not only for consumers perceiving the brand as 'new product' but also for those

who buy products randomly and impulse-driven. However, negative attitudes can

also result whenever consumers are not satisfied with the brand/service or

they've encountered unpleasant outcomes or experiences with the brand. This

experience will forever be on the consumers' minds and that they will always be

particular with the feature in w/c the previous brand failed to provide them with.

The brand perhaps can still change customer's attitudes towards it, if it can

alter with the factors that affect consumer behavior. Marketers can change how

consumers look at a certain brand if they can find ways to satisfy customers not

only by meeting needs, wants, and demands but also to assert the brand on

culture, socialization process, lifestyle, consumer's personality and beliefs. Also,

consumer's attitude can be changed if marketers can tap and fulfill customers'

needs in w/c they themselves don't know and can only be realized if triggered by

ads and promotional campaigns.

5. What role does the Jaguar Land Rover brand play in the self-concept

of its buyers?

As Jaguar Land Rover clearly set their target market, the designs of their

cars are personalized for their customers depending on their specifications. The

company does not only focus on vehicle sales in China but as well as beinginvolved in various activities such as education, humanitarian aid, and

environmental protection.

The brand plays a very important role which is the upper level image of

every Jaguar Land Rover customers self-concept. Acquiring this product creates

an image of being successful and high class plus being labeled as someone with

an elevated social stature.
