1. Explain the consumer behavior standpoint why CHUCK E. CHEESE
appears to be a good gift for Latin America.
- CHUCK E. CHEESE appears to be a good gift for Latin America because
of the similar cultural background. Latin consumers are more willing to accept American-branded food. Even though some Latins understand English fluently, it is simpler for them to examine product details such as quality which can assist CHUCK E. CHEESE acquire more consumer trust and stimulate purchase behaviors.
2. How do you think consumer behavior in Latin America may differ from consumer in the United States?
- I think Latin culture places a greater emphasis on the concept of family,
but American culture places a greater emphasis on individual behaviors. In particular, the bond between parents and children is not as strong as it is in Latin families. As a result, when parents go outside, they prefer to bring their children with them, and if their children are well-cared-for, they are willing to pay a higher price for the service.
