Brand
With the development of fast moving consumer goods bakery and bread have already
become a fundamental part of people’s live and society. In morning people take tea with
bread items, in the evening same activities shown in our countries people. In campus or
chatting on tea stall people take tea with some others goods based on individual
preferences. Recently PRAN has introduced a new brand named “All time” for those
markets where a person wants a single unit of biscuits, cakes with tea in morning to
evening. Not only that they became market leader within a short period of time because of
proactive marketing, strong distribution process, attractive packaging and reasonable price
of bread and bakery items. For that reason I have interested to know the factors behind
consumer towards the “All time” goods. I have worked for a few days and visited many
places, especially grocery and tea stalls to investigate the purchasing pattern of “all time”
bakery and bread items. Moreover, the survey approach was adopted for data collection
and a questionnaire was designed base on the literature review and research model. At the
end of survey, I have collected 54 valid samples for this research.
After the data analysis and discussion the results indicates that the brand image, good
packaging or attractive packaging towards the consumer purchasing “All time” items.
Variety seekers who seeks new goods s/he come to seek new things because of attractive
packaging after that s/he become the loyal customers.

This chapter introduced the context of research problem and gives a brief situation of
research field; some discussion related research aim/objectives as well as the overview of
paper structure were also provided in this chapter. The next chapter moved on to review
numerous literatures related to this research area.
CHAPTER 2: LITERATURE REVIEW:
2.1: Introduction:
This chapter reviews the focal point of literature related to the field of this research topic.
During this stage, some theories were given base on the research, and some ideas were
Page 13
14. Factors Influencing consumer buying pattern towards bread item in Bangladesh – A study on “All time”
Brand
revealed about the nature of research. The literature outline consists of consumer choice
behaviors, motivations for choosing “All time” – a bread and bakery item brand.
2.2: CONSUMER CHOICE BEHAVIORS:
Authors of the literatures point out that the studies of consumer choice behaviors can
normally followed by five classical steps, which consist of require, information search,
alternatives evaluation, purchase and post-purchase evaluation. From the ordinal position, I
can identify that the alternatives evaluation is a crucial stage during the consumer choice
process. In addition, the five-step model is normally suitable for consumer decision making
in selective process, even in complex
According to the theories related to consumer buying behavior, the consumer has engaged
with the information search before they make the actual choice (Heikki et al., 2005). In other
words, consumers were able to make a choice based on alternatives information which
derives from their search activity. After the process of information search, consumer may
review and gather some attributes of choice alternatives which was in their consideration,
then the next stage will turn into identification and comparison of the information related to
alternatives attributes.
In the current research study, evaluation of alternatives is thought to be an essential factor
in relation to information search, and it is classical to measure the consumers’ decision by
using the alternative evaluation models.
2.3: MOTIVATIONS FOR CHOOSING “ALLTIME”
Page 14
15. Factors Influencing consumer buying pattern towards bread item in Bangladesh – A study on “All time”
Brand
In our country population are over rated. Now day’s 65 percent of Dhaka city people
passing their time in outside the home. They are busy in their educational life, working
places, or searching something in outside. Very large scale of people is taking tea as a
refreshment drink; with tea they take some biscuits or bread items as complimentary goods.
For innovative idea, strong distribution, and offers the large scale of variation “All time” is a
popular brand to the consumer.
From this research findings I can concluded that good outfits and brand image is the most
significant key factors that affect buying decision for “All time”. They also consider design,
quality, price, variety of product line have most significant key factors, but according this
research price, qualities, variation have not positive significant influencing power then other
factor.
As the research was carried on the basis of responses gather from the convenient sample i.e.
students from East West University. So it is better not to imply these findings generally but
carry out further research on an even more credible sample to get even better idea on the
factors that can influence the consumer’s perceptions towards the “All time” bakery and bread
items.
2.3.1: Price strategy:
In a set of matters, price is thought to be the main matter to be concerned by some
researchers. Price comparison consumption was thought to be a primary avenue in
selecting process. The price incentives as a source of buying decision are found to be
important in consumer choice behaviors. Few researchers found that the price was the
most important motives affecting the consumers’ decision to purchase any goods.
In addition, some Bangladeshi researchers found the increase in goods price was likely to
be one of the most important factors for consumers to switch between different services as
well as the goods.
2.3.2: quality of goods:
Page 15
16. Factors Influencing consumer buying pattern towards bread item in Bangladesh – A study on “All time”
Brand
For the bakery and bread item quality of goods are not important than others, but now
people are searching for quality products because they are health conscious and the rate of
consciousness is gradually increasing.
2.3.3: Other factors influence consumers’ choice:
2.3.3.1: Taste and flavor:
Good taste influences a customer to repurchase. Taste and different flavor may create
number of customers because individual’s preference may comes.
2.4: SUMMARY:
This chapter reviews numerous previous studies and theories related to the factors
affecting consumers’ attitudes and their choice of bakery and bread items. In next
chapter, the research approach and method will be discussed as well as the
questionnaire design, moreover, an extension research model for research topic also will
be proposed.

17. Factors Influencing consumer buying pattern towards bread item in Bangladesh – A study on “All time”
Brand
This research aim to examine the consumers’ the influencing factors towards the bread
item in Bangladesh, in order to achieve that, the concepts and theories related to domain of
bread and bakery items were reviewed and a theoretical framework was proposed and
extended in this chapter. This chapter aim to explain the reason of adopting quantitative
approach as well as questionnaire method, in addition, the concept and implementation of
questionnaire within bread items analyzed as well as the collected data were discussed.
3.2: Research Approach
First of all I will improve my theoretical foundation through studying research methodology
appropriate way of developing research model, rapid and frequent literature review, and
research question designing.
Then I will develop the hypotheses that will guild me throughout the research and help me
to focus on specific components that I will require to work on throughout this research. I will
also work on my research problems that I identified earlier and specify exactly what
information I will need from these questions and find my answers accordingly. For
enrichment the approaches are described in brief.
• Analytical model: Consumer follows usual model when selection consumer
product, which is also common for bread items.
Page 17
18. Factors Influencing consumer buying pattern towards bread item in Bangladesh – A study on “All time”
Brand
First a consumer comes to know about the product from different sources. In the next step
they understand and evaluate the product with that of offered by other available in the
market. Then they form a preference to use a particular brand. And finally they make
purchase decision.
3.2.1: Research questions:
This research intends to find out the best possible influencing factors for bread items. For
that I developed research questions. Answer of these questions will help me to understand
consumer preferences or insights about the bread and bakery items of “All time”.

Specification of information needed:
I have determined exactly what information I will require for the answer of this research
question. I have classified each component and then formulated the specification of
information that I need to solve the research problem. My research questionnaire’s ultimate
goal is to find out the answer of this research questions. I formulated the research
questions several times to find out the redundant questions and finally the questionnaire
was prepared accord to finding answers of my research questions.
3.3: Research design:
This research consists of different portion. Primarily I identified the important factors for
internet user through exploratory research. With the acquired information I did further
analysis. My research is a causal research as I intend to find out which factors influence
consumer most in purchasing a bread and bakery item. I also tried to define the significance
of different factors that I will discover in explanatory research and also correlate and
analyze them.
3.3.1 Types of Research design
According to the types of research can be of three types they are exploratory research,
descriptive research and causal research. In this study I used exploratory and causal
research.
Page 21
22. Factors Influencing consumer buying pattern towards bread item in Bangladesh – A study on “All time”
Brand
3.3.1.1: Exploratory Research:
To approach with the problem first I identified the important influencing factors that
influencing factors towards consumers consider when purchasing “All time”. For that I
conducted a preliminary exploratory research with group discussion with 54 respondents
who are used to buy “All time”. They were asked to pick their influencing factors among
others available factors that they considered in purchasing convenient goods like bread or
bakery items. In my exploratory research I have given total 10 options for respondent better
understanding.
o 1. Brand | 6. Price
o 2. Gender issue | 7.Variety of goods to choose options
o 3. Quality | 8. Attracting Packaging
o 4. Ingredients | 9. Social influence
o 5. Availability | 10. Product design
From this exploratory research I analyzed the figures that respondents picked most
With the accumulated score I selected only 6 top scored features.
1. Price
2. Quality
3. Brand Image
4. Gender issue
5. Good outfits
Page 22
23. Factors Influencing consumer buying pattern towards bread item in Bangladesh – A study on “All time”
Brand
6. Wide range of goods or variety of items
3.3.1.2: Causal Research:
The objective of causal research is to test hypotheses about cause-and-effect relationships.
It help me to determine which variable might be causing a certain behavior, In order to
determine causality, it is important to hold the variable that is assumed to cause the change
in the other variable(s) constant and then measure the changes in the other variable(s).
With six identified Factors I prepared six hypotheses which were stated earlier in the
Approach to the problem Section. My research intends to find whether these hypotheses
are proven right or these hypotheses are rejected.
3.3.2 Information needs: In this research since I am measuring the causality of six factors
influencing I will require the consumers’ view of these factors. The independent variables
will be considered and it will be required when creating the mathematical model. The
dependent variables each will be measured individually. I will need consumer preference
regarding these independent and dependent variables and other than that I will need some
demographic information and usage preference.
3.3.3 Data collection from primary sources
I collected information directly from individuals using internet, journals, personal
information. All the information was collected with structured questionnaire. I conducted a
survey with my prepared questionnaire. The sampling technique was convenient sampling.
The respondents’ response was collected and then inputted for further analysis in SPSS
software.
Page 23
24. Factors Influencing consumer buying pattern towards bread item in Bangladesh – A study on “All time”
Brand
3.3.4 Scaling Technique
For this research I used 5 likert scales. Since in our country perspective five point scales is
most appropriate I also used five point likert scales to measure consumer’s perceptions.
When responding to a Likert questionnaire item, respondents specify their level of
agreement or disagreement on a symmetric agrees-disagrees scale for a series of
statements. Thus, the range captures the intensity of their feelings for a given item. In my
research I prepared for questionnaire accordingly so that respondents’ response can be
judged efficiently and respondents find it convenient and efficient to answer the
questionnaire.
3.3.5 Questionnaire pretesting and development
A survey questionnaire has been used to find the specific information about consumers’
Buying pattern regarding bread and bakery items. The sample size used for the project is
54 respondents. I have developed a total of 29 questions based on exploratory research
divided into six groups. This research questionnaire also included questions considering six
factors- Price, Brand Image, Quality, gender issue, Good outfits, and variation of goods.
There is a one filter question which placed at the beginning of the questioner. There are five
questions for measuring dependent variable and twenty four questions for measuring
independent variable. A Likert scale was used to question the respondents on the five point
scale used for measuring both dependent and independent variables
The final Questionnaire is included in Appendix – A.
Page 24
25. Factors Influencing consumer buying pattern towards bread item in Bangladesh – A study on “All time”
Brand
The respondents were asked to rate on the scale between Strongly Agree and Strongly
Disagree. In addition to these, there are four questions regarding demographic information-gender,
age, profession, education and monthly household income.
Once the questionnaire was developed it was used in a pretest survey where 10
respondents were asked to mention whether they faced any difficulties when answering the
questionnaire. Based on their response I have corrected and made necessary change in
my questionnaire and final questionnaire was used to collect response from all 54
respondents.
3.3.6 Sampling Technique
Convenient sampling technique has been used in this research. I have taken the sample
from student users. Since students are always available in our campus it is easier and
convenient for me to collect information from students of East West University. The
students are the one of major buyer of “All time” and they are well educated and have the
capability to understand the research question. So using the student sample is both
convenient and appropriate for this research.
3.4: PILOT STUDY:
After completed the questionnaire design, it is necessary to test the feasibility of
questionnaire prior to the survey. For the reason that the feasibility study is useful for author
to find out not only with the unsuitable questions wording, but also with procedural matters
prior to study Thus, the original questionnaire has been sent to 10 participants in order to
the test whether the questions domain fit for the research content. These participants came
Page 25
26. Factors Influencing consumer buying pattern towards bread item in Bangladesh – A study on “All time”
Brand
from several departments, such as Marketing, Finance and Economics. When the result
came out, several limitations and weakness has been found. Firstly, several participants
missed some key questions with their unintentional omission, Secondly, few questions were
considered to be added in questionnaire in order to test the extension research model. Last
but not least, some questions wording were modified to fit research purpose.
3.5: FIELDWORK/ DATA COLLECTION
To collect information I conducted my survey in East West University, in different tea stalls,
visited relatives home among 54 respondents. Students of EWU carefully answered my
questionnaire. After collecting all the data from the respondents I have inputted those data
into excel sheet as per putting respective chronological numbers.
3.6: DATA ANALYSIS
For reason of the questionnaire produced the quantitative data results, the initial collected
data was operated by the analytical software SPSS. After collecting data from the sample
profile, the method of statistical interpretation would be used to discuss the data. The
demographic profile would be divided into two groups of people in order to compare the
relevant variables. Moreover, there are 24 questions relevant to the 6 factors and 5
questions are relevant to the demographic factors.

Interpretation:
The reliability test of dependent variable for the six items has been done from the reliability
analysis. Here the overall alpha is .659, which means that all the dependent variables have an
internal consistency of .659 among each other which is above .50, that means it is very much
dependable for the internal consistency. So that I can say that the reliability of these factors
are consistent as well as dependable.

variable is “Factors influencing consumer buying pattern towards the “All time” products and
independent variables are price, quality, good outfits or attractive packaging, brand image,
gender issue, variation of items.
HYPOTHESIS TESTING
In the approach to the problem I have developed six (6) hypothesis based in six factors that
influence the purchase decision of “All time” bread and bakery items. Here, those hypotheses
will be tested whether those are accepted or rejected.
Hypothesis 01: price
Page 38
39. Factors Influencing consumer buying pattern towards bread item in Bangladesh – A study on “All time”

H0: Price has significant influence to choose “All time” bakery and bread item.
H1: Price does not have significant influence to choose “All time” bakery and bread item.
Independent variables Standardized Coefficients (β) t value Sig. / P value
price -.207 -1.747 .087
Table 1: Coefficient value, t- value and P value of price
The table above show that price has influence (β= -.207) regarding buying pattern of “All time”
bread and bakery items. But we can see that the P value is 0.087 and is higher than alpha
0.05. So Ho is rejected and H1 is accepted. And that is why price does not have significant
influence to purchase decision of “All time”.
Hypothesis 02: Quality
H0: Quality of products has significant influence to choose “All time” product item.
H1: Quality of products does not have significant influence to choose “All time” product.

time” bread and bakery items. But we can see that the P value is 0.583 and is higher than
alpha 0.05. So Ho is rejected and H1 is accepted. And that is why quality has no significant
influence to purchase decision of “All time”.
Hypothesis: 3

COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS:
In the bakery and bread industries there are lots of branded and non branded companies
are exists. But they never introduced large scale of bakery items within a single unit.
Difference product design, innovative idea, reasonable price and strongly distribution
process get the “All time” in market leader position within one and half year. “all time” is
being market leader within short period of time because of proactive marketing decisions.
There are some other rivals exists to create threaten to “All time”.
They are:
Fuwang foods
Givency
Banaful

CHAPTER 06: RESULT
Page 45
46. Factors Influencing consumer buying pattern towards bread item in Bangladesh – A study on “All time”
Brand
RESULT
From this research I found out that in case of Price, quality, variation of product, Ho is rejected
and H1 is accepted. And that is Price, quality, variation of product; have no significant positive
influence regarding purchase decision of “All time” bread and bakery goods. In case of Good
outfits, Gender issues, Brand image, Ho is accepted and H1 is rejected, which indicates that
good outfits, gender issue, and brand image have significant positive influence over purchase
decision of “All time” bakery and bread goods.
LIMITATION
In this survey there used convenient sample. As most respondents are students, where rest of
the other groups are not focused properly, the number of respondents are to low so that the
original feedback is not possible to find out by conducted a survey within limited people. The
respondents are not that much aware as well there is some correction needed in the
questionnaire. In different steps of limitations are given below:
The numbers of respondents are very low in case of findings behavior or influencing
factors of any particular goods.
The respondents are not aware to give exact comments or put exact value.
There may be error involve into the questionnaire.
In this case we should go for every classes of consumer on the basis of income,
education, and professions to find out exact purchasing behavior towards consumer
goods.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Page 46
47. Factors Influencing consumer buying pattern towards bread item in Bangladesh – A study on “All time”
Brand
My study can help marketer to know the significant factors that influence the success of “All
time” bread and bakery items. Therefore from my study, I can recommend the following:
Continually new product should be designed by changing shape, packaging,
ingredients and taste.
There are lots of rivals are existing in this market, like Fu-wang is one of them. They
just act as a follower of “All time”.
If “Fu-wang” can introduce new product by proactive marketing in this market there
may be chance to diversify “All time” lover to Fu-wang.
Always consider about variety seeker who seeks goods when launching
immediately. Variety seeker becomes to the loyal customer in case convenient
product if a product matches with their demand.
In my research I find that the involvement of female consumers are too much low
than the male.
We know large scale of consumers is women, “All time” should introduce product
based of female’s preferences. They should come under the loyal customer of “All
time”.
Suggest for the further research:
Choosing samples is another important factor for doing this type of survey. Because
in my survey I have experienced that many respondents gave their feedback with
unconscious mind without having proper knowledge about the proper subject matter.
While conducting research, the factors which were not included in this research should
be taken into consideration.
To get better understanding, it’s advised not to follow convenient sampling as it won’t
be able to give a clear and reliable idea about the real market scenario.
A diverse respondent group who are potential customers can be surveyed for better
accuracy of the data.
Page 47
48. Factors Influencing consumer buying pattern towards bread item in Bangladesh – A study on “All time”
Brand
For the time limitation and other reasons extraneous factors were not measured.
However, there can be cases where these factors might influence the respondent’s
choice of answers. So this can be tested as well.
CHAPTER 07: CONCLUSION
Page 48
49. Factors Influencing consumer buying pattern towards bread item in Bangladesh – A study on “All time”
Brand
CONCLUSION:
Now day’s 65 percent of Dhaka city people passing their time in outside the home. They are
busy in their educational life, working places, or searching something in outside. Very large
scales of people are taking tea as a refreshment drink; with tea they take some biscuits or
bread items as complimentary goods. For innovative idea, strong distribution, and offers
the large scale of variation “All time” is a popular brand to the consumer.
From this research findings I can say that good outfits and brand image is the most
significant key factors that affect buying decision for “All time”. They also consider design,
quality, price, variety of product line have most significant key factors, but according this
research price, qualities, variation have not positive significant influencing power then other
factor.
As the research was carried on the basis of responses gather from the convenient sample i.e.
students from East West University. So it is better not to imply these findings generally but
carry out further research on an even more credible sample to get even better idea on the
factors that can influence the consumer’s perceptions towards the “All time” bakery and bread
items.
