Resumo


RESUMO

O hábito de presentear, principalmente no Brasil, ainda apresenta uma lacuna de conhecimento científico e acaba desfavorecendo as ações de marketing. O presente estudo buscou desenvolver um cruzamento de conceitos antropológicos do gift giving com conceitos do marketing atual, considerando a relevância do ato de presentear dentro do varejo nacional e propondo alternativas de aplicação prática dos preceitos identificados na literatura e em especial no estudo de Sherry (1983). As principais ações na adequação do mix de produtos ofertados se associam a aproximação das necessidades do consumidor, ou seja, esse deve identificar nos produtos atributos que gerem identificação e adequação ao contexto social e cultural e buscar reduzir a ansiedade no ato de procura do presente ideal. Assim, considerar as características psicográficas e de estilo de vida pode ser considerada a solução para os direcionamentos de investimentos de marketing. Extrapolando as premissas do marketing atual, sugere-se que além de conhecer seu consumidor é necessário conhecer o receptor do presente para satisfazê-lo ou ainda influenciá-lo.

Abstract: The habit of gifting, especially in Brazil, has a scientific knowledge gap and ends up disadvantaging marketing actions. This study aimed to cross anthropological concepts of gift giving with the current marketing concepts, considering the importance of gift giving within the national retail and proposing alternatives for practical application of the principles identified in the literature, in particular in the study of Sherry (1983). The main actions in adjusting the product mix that is offered are associated to an approximation of consumer needs, what means that the consumers must identify the product attributes that generate identification and adaptation to the social and cultural context and seek to reduce anxiety in the act of searching for the ideal gift. Thus, consider the psychographic characteristics and lifestyle can be considered the solution to the directions of marketing investments. Extrapolating the assumptions of current marketing, it is suggested that in addition to knowing your customer is necessary to know the gift recipient to satisfy or influence him.

Keywords: Gift giving. Marketing. Product. Consumer.
