Development of the survey instrument
One of the key aspects of the Primary research which is undertaken by the
different researchers is to understand the viewpoint of the different customers and to
gain an analysis of whether the consumers are as aware as they are required to be and
the different factors which influence their purchase. The report is based on the data
collected from a survey and the different responses which have been received. The
findings have been presented in the latter section of the report along with the analysis of
the same. The survey assisted in the understanding of the different view point of the
different consumers and understanding the aspects of the product which provide
adequate satisfaction to the customers. The survey which was formed was mainly
centered on the topic related to the Consume perception, behavior of the consumers,
attitudes and perspectives in relation to the Lipton Green Tea brand. The survey also
intended to understand the influence of the family on the decision making of the
different consumers. The platform of Survey Monkey was made use of to understand
the point of view of the different participants as involved. The questionnaire was based
on a set of 10 questions related to the topic of Consumer perception and based on this,
the survey was distributed among 16 participants. The collection of data was done with
the help of email and message forwards via a link through which the different
participants could fill in the survey and present their opinion in the domain of Consumer
perception, consumer awareness, attitude and the thought process. This data can then
be used further in order to process the information for the benefit of the company –
Lipton Green tea and make accurate decisions.

questions with the particular responses were prepared on the platform of the Survey
Monkey, the questions were reviewed and the survey was distributed among the
different individuals and their responses were collected once the responses of the 16
respondents were received.
Following this, the analysis was started with which tends to help in the formation
of different graphs as well as the charts which help in presenting the data in a visually
appealing manner. This entire procedure went a long way in assisting to understand the
overall consumer perception and behavioral aspects from the direct viewpoint of the
consumers. This consumer perception has an impact on the sales of the company. By

improvement in its actions which can then influence the overall performance of the firm.
The different components of the Lipton Green Tea could be understood well from these
Reponses and adequate decisions can be made.

6LIPTON GREEN TEA
different questions as centered on Lipton Green Tea, asked the respondents about the
price of the product whereby 20% of the different respondents largely disagreed to it
and around 40% of the different employees were neutral with respect to the given
Reponses. Hence, the different users were not under the belief that the price of the
product was set correct. When these respondents were asked about the appearance
and appeal of the Lipton Green tea with respect to the packaging of the product, 25% of
the respondents strongly agreed to the positive packaging of the product whereas,
around 56.25% of the employees are under the belief that the product packaging is well.
The consumer attitude
The consumer attitude can be rightfully defined as the total of the beliefs,
behavioral aspects and the understanding as possessed by the consumers which then
reflects on the different decisions as being made by them (Hartmann and Siegrist 2017).
In the particular scenario when the different respondents were asked about their product
awareness regarding the Lipton tea, 100% of the responses gave a positive response to
the usage of the product. Hence, in this aspect, the product can be stated to be
particularly popular. When the different consumers were asked about the attitude

respondents were likely under the belief that the product was somewhat likely to be the
best product as present in the market. On the other hand, around 20% of the
respondents believed that the product was a best one in the market among the health
beverages.
In the same manner, the customers were asked about the nutrition aspect of the

nature, whereby around 50% of the respondents did not know much about the nutrition
aspect of the tea whereas only 12.5% of the respondents were under the belief that the
tea had adequate nutrition’s.

motivational aspect forms a crucial part of the product decision of the consumers. It is
only when the product comprises of adequate The motivation based on which the
consumer purchases the product can be rightfully defined as the way in which the
consumer desires a product or also helps in understanding the different reasons based
on which the consumer makes the purchase decision (Baker and Saren 2016). Only

understood that 75% of the population made the purchase of the Lipton Green tea
based on the tastes as well as the health benefit which was provided by the product
whereas around 30% of the respondents purchased it based on the Brand name and
the quantity of the product being provided. Hence, the taste and the health benefit
associated formed a larger part of their purchase.
Group and individual differences
The different group and individual differences in the consumer also often form a
decision factor in the customers and with respect to this, it needs to be understood that
the different members of the society have a strong influence on one another ( Bahl and
Chandra 2018). The paper perception forms a crucial part of the organization and with
respect to the same, when the different respondents were asked about the chances of
the purchase on the peer recommendation, around 43.75% of the employees likely
believed that they would somewhat purchase it based on the paper advice whereby
around 40% of the employees likely believed that they would purchase as per the
advice of the different friends.
Family and lifestyle

On the other hand, the other respondents hardly consumed the product even once a
month.

purchases of a consumer and with respect to this, it can be largely understood that the
kind of advertisements which the different customers are exposed to forms a major part
of the factors responsible for higher sales (Aschemann-Witzel 2015). When asked about
the appeal of the advertisements, around 50% of the respondents believed it to be
acceptable in nature, whereas 31% of the respondents believed that it was fairly
accurate.
Findings

be accumulated and a greater insight into the domain of consumer behavior and
perception could be derived at. The findings of the paper can be stated to be as follows:
1. Although the health and fitness industry is a popularly growing industry, very few
customers are under the belief that, the Lipton green tea and other similar brands
would actually benefit them at large.
2. In addition to this, the taste of the tea and the associated health benefits formed
a major share of the belief that the consumers were purchasing the particular
product.
3. The family values, life style and the peer reviews formed a greater share of the
consumer decision and hence, with respect to this, all the different individuals as
present in the company need to aim to ensure that the needs of the target group
are met with.
4. In addition to this, it could also be understood that the method of advertisement
forms some of the most popular ways of promotion for the sale of the product
and around 50% of the respondents gained the knowledge of the product after

population was not adequately high.
