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.

1.5: SUMMARY: 
Page 12

Brand 
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

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
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
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. 
CHAPTER 3: METHODOLOGY: 
3.1: Introduction 
Page 16

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

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”. 
The research question are stated below- 
“Factors influencing buying pattern towards the bread item in Bangladesh” 
Research questions regarding specific components:

To smooth work I can state some unproven statement or factor and mathematically try to 
prove whether my statement is correct or not. In my exploratory research I have identified 
six factors that consumers think most important in terms of purchasing decision of bread 
items. These are

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
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
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

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
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

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.

From the regression analysis, I have found that the value of R square is 0.559. That means 
independent variables have 55.9% impact over the dependent variable. In other words, the 
dependent variable can be influenced 55.9% by the independent variables. Here, dependent 
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

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

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 
 Madhubon 
CHAPTER 06: RESULT 
Page 45
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
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
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

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.

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.

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

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

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. Page 26

  • 32. Factors Influencing consumer buying pattern towards bread item in Bangladesh – A study on “All time” Brand 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.

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.

  • 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.

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

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.
