An Exploration of the Impact of Brand Personality on Consumer Buying Intentions toward Specialist Stationery Products across Age Groups by Chalinun Aurmanarom This thesis is submitted in partial fulfillment of requirements forthe award of Bachelor of Business (Marketing) Honours School of Marketing, Tourism and Leisure Faculty of Business and Law Edith Cowan University, WesternAustralia July 2010 1 USE OF THESIS The Use of Thesis statement is not included in this version of the thesis. Abstract The market for stationery products is constantly evolving particularly in light of technological influences and changes in the range of items available beyond single categ01y products. Customers now seek more than pens and paper products; rather they are looking towards convenient specialist stationery one-stop-shop options. This research aimed to provide insight into consumers' specialist stationery products (SSPs) purchasing intentions across different age groups. A qualitative design via focus groups was used to gather consumer information. This process allowed for expressions of personal feelings and emotions relating to SSPs purchasing experiences to be captured. The findings revealed that brand personality is a valuable asset in bonding consumers' relationships with SSPs. In conjunction with this emotional value, brand personality relates to the product's functional benefits and provides both intrinsic and extrinsic value in satisfying the consumers' specific needs - all of which are key factorsin motivating consumers' SSPs purchasing intentions. In this study preferred SSPs brand personality factors, such as Simplistic, Exciting, and Likable, were determined in response to the values sought by consumer in each age group. While strong brand personality values formed part of consumers' self­ identity, they also demonstrate commitments to SSPs. Collectible behaviours were evident in this research and these behaviours formed strong brand loyalty. This emotional relationship ensured consumers' current and future positive SSPs purchasing intentions. The outcomes highlighted that brand personality values in SSPs are important and should be considered in differentiating marketing strategies. These strategies have the potential to influence consumers' decision-making, and therefore can assist marketers in responding to today's highly competitive stationery business within an advanced technological environment. 3 Declaration I certify that this thesis does not, to the best of my knowledge and belief: I. incorporate without acknowledgment any material previously submitted fora degree or diploma in any institution of higher education; II. contain any material previously published or written by another person except where due referenceis made in the text; or III. contain any defamatorymaterial I also grant permission forthe library of Edith Cowan University to make duplicate copies of my thesis if required.

    1. Gina Rinehart $14.02billion from Resources Chairman – Hancock Prospecting Residence: Perth Wealth last year: $20.01b Rank last year: 1 A plunging iron ore price has made a big dent in Gina Rinehart’s wealth. But so vast are her mining assets that Rinehart, chairman of Hancock Prospecting, maintains her position as Australia’s richest person in 2015. Work is continuing on her $10billion Roy Hill project in Western Australia, although it has been hit by doubts over its short-term viability given falling commodity prices and safety issues. Rinehart is pressing ahead and expects the first shipment late in 2015. Most of her wealth comes from huge royalty cheques from Rio Tinto, which mines vast swaths of tenements pegged by Rinehart’s late father, Lang Hancock, in the 1950s and 1960s. Rinehart's wealth has been subject to a long running family dispute with a court ruling in May that eldest daughter Bianca should become head of the $5b family trust. 2. Anthony Pratt & Family $10.76billion from manufacturing and investment Executive Chairman – Visy Residence: Melbourne Wealth last year: $7.6billion Rank last year: 2 Anthony Pratt’s bet on a recovering United States economy is paying off. The value of his US-based Pratt Industries has surged this year thanks to an improving manufacturing sector and a lower Australian dollar. Pratt is also executive chairman of box maker and recycling business Visy, based in Melbourne. Visy is Australia’s largest private company by revenue and the biggest Australian-owned employer in the US. Pratt inherited the Visy leadership from his late father Richard in 2009, though the firm’s ownership is shared with sisters Heloise Waislitz and Fiona Geminder.

    ‘Modern’ calligraphy has been making the rounds lately and if you're here — that's probably what you want to learn! But before we get all into the details, here's one thing you need to remember: calligraphy is not cursive. Cursive is joined up writing; you ideally write without li�ting your pen so you can write faster. While calligraphy can look similar, the key is to go slow and to break down each and every letter into its supporting strokes. THE BASIC STROKES ASCENDER LINE WAIST LINE BASE LINE DESCENDER LINE Or as some people call them, the drills! As dull as it sounds, brush lettering is made up of 9 common strokes illustrated above. With these strokes alone, you can form 21 out of the 26 letters in the lowercase alphabet — and some of the capital letters too! HOW THIS WORKS In Brush Basics, we'll be building your foundation right by covering all 9 strokes over the course of 2 weeks! Here's the schedule: On Day 1, you'll learn how to use your brush pen to form thin upstrokes and thick downstrokes. This is an easy lesson, so you have just one day to tackle it! Lesson 2 (delivered on Day 2) will cover underturn and overturn strokes. Lessons 3 and 4 (delivered on Days 4 and 6, respectively) will see you taking on the two di�ferent compound curves. You'll learn all about ovals in Lesson 5 (delivered on Day 8) — and because this is a hard one, you'll have not two but three days to practice it.

  • Premier Investments Full Year Ordinary
    29 November 2018 CHAIRMAN’S ADDRESS On behalf of the Directors of Premier Investments, I would like to welcome all of you to our Annual General Meeting for the 2018 financial year. As I have said many times before, my fellow Directors and I take our responsibilities very seriously to prudently manage your investment in Premier with the objective of achieving sustainable profit growth and maximising returns for our shareholders. Consistent with that fundamental objective, I am pleased to report another strong financial performance in FY18 that continues our growth trajectory and track record of robust shareholder returns. I will take you through our performance in more detail shortly but most pleasingly it reflects the outstanding performance of our core operating business, Premier Retail, and the continued successful implementation of the Premier Retail Strategy – a journey we commenced in 2011 to drive growth through Smiggle, Peter Alexander and our online offering whilst rejuvenating our core brands and controlling efficiencies. Despite well documented trading headwinds impacting the retail sector, Premier’s year-on- year outperformance is a testament to the way your company’s very professional management team have worked together with your experienced and skilled board to build and lead a successful global retail business. The retail sector has not been helped by the continued turbulence in the Australian political landscape. This has created sustained and unwelcome uncertainty for the economy and the retail sector which has also faced pressure as households feel the effects of higher costs of living, coupled with a period of sustained wage stagnation. Sound and decisive policy action with a long-term perspective, as opposed to short-term political tactics, is critical if we are to effectively tackle the range of challenges facing households and impacting both business and consumer confidence.
