RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

This chapter presents the findings of the study. It likewise presents

corresponding analysis and interpretation of results based on appropriate statistical

tools used to treat the collected data.

Demographic Profile

The data contained in the succeeding tables manifest the demographic profile of

the residents of Nasugbu, Batangas in terms of- age; sex; marital status; monthly

income/allowance; and highest educational attainment.

Age Profile

Table 1: Frequency Distribution of Respondents in Terms of Age

Age Group Frequency Percentage%


Young Adult (20-39) 238 62.1
Middle Aged Adult ( 40-59) 105 27.8
Aged (60 and Above) 39 10.1

According to the data presented in Table 1, the largest proportion of

respondents, with 238 individuals or 62.1%, falls under the Young Adult category. The

Middle Aged Adult category, on the other hand, accounts for 105 respondents or 27.8%.

Lastly, the Aged group represents the smallest age group, with a total of 39

respondents or 10.1%. The data indicates that the study involved a sample size of 380

participants, with a majority falling into the Young Adult demographic.


It is asserted that consumers' behaviors are the result of their use of free will and

heuristic reasoning. Every person will possess a unique and individualized collection of

experiences. However, the collection of primary data from multiple individuals may

reveal that this behavior varies based on demographic characteristics, such as age and

level of education, and environmental factors, such as geographical region and

population size. (Brzoska and Hjelm, 2020)

Sex

Table 2: Frequency Distribution of Respondents in Terms of Sex

Sex Frequency Percentage%


Male 192 50.1
Female 190 49.9
Grand Total 382 100

Based on the data provided in Table 2, it can be observed that the predominant

demographic group among the respondents is males, including a total of 192 individuals

or 50.1%. Conversely, the female respondents account for 190 individuals or 49.9% of

the sample. The data reveals that the majority of the participants are of the sexes of

men.

The identification of feminine gender had a positive impact on impulsive

purchasing, while the identification of masculine gender had no discernible effect on

impulse purchasing. There was no significant relationship between the gender identity

of the individuals and their inclination towards impulsive buying. Additionally, men
reported that their impulsive purchases were influenced by their feminine gender

identity, but not by their masculine gender identity. (Ozdemir, 2019)

Civil Status

Table 3: Civil Status


Marital Status Frequency Percentage%

Single 214 55.8


Married 142 37
Widowed/Separated 26 6.7
Grand Total 382 100

According to the findings presented in Table 3, it can be observed that a

significant proportion of the participants, including 214 individuals or 55.8% of the entire

sample, reported being single. This was followed by married individuals, who

constituted a total of 142 respondents or 37% of the sample. Furthermore, it is worth

noting that a total of 26 individuals, which accounts for 6.7% of the sample population,

are widowed/separated. Based on the provided data, a majority of the participants are

single, while a minority are widowed or separated.

Monthly Income/Allowance

Between ₱84,575 to ₱144,984 1 0.2
Grand Total 382 100

Table 4 shows that most of the respondents 199 people, or 51.9% of the whole

group) have a monthly income of less than ₱12,082. The next most common income

range is ₱12,083 to ₱24,164 per month, which makes up 125 of the respondents, or

32.6% of the group. Additionally, it is worth mentioning that 51 people, or 13.3% of

those who answered, have a monthly income of ₱24,165 to ₱48,328. Six of the people

who answered, or 1.5%, make or have a monthly income of ₱48,329 to ₱84,574. On the

other hand, the small group of people whose monthly income is between ₱84,575 and

₱144,984 makes up only 0.2 percent of the whole, or 1 respondent.

According to Lohana (2021), it is of the utmost significance to examine the

demographic influence of customers on the utilization of digital payment services. The

age, education, occupation, and income of people have a significant impact on their

utilization, whereas their gender and marital status had no significant impact. It is

essential to provide valuable insights regarding the usage and satisfaction levels of

consumers in relation to four widely-used digital payment methods, taking into account

various demographic factors.

Educational Attainment

Grand Total 382 100

According to the data presented in Table 5, a majority of the participants (198

individuals, accounting for 51.6% of the total sample) have a Bachelor's Degree.

Furthermore, it is noteworthy that 73 individuals, accounting for 19% of the total

respondents, have a Senior High School diploma. Similarly, 48 respondents,

constituting 12.5% of the sample, have completed their education at the High School

level. Furthermore, it is worth noting that 44 individuals, accounting for 11.4% of the

total respondents, have successfully completed a vocational degree. Additionally, 16

respondents, equivalent to 4.1% of the total, have attained an Elementary Graduate

qualification. Finally, a small proportion of the participants, specifically 3 or 0.7% of

them, have a Postgraduate Degree. In conclusion, the findings indicate that a significant

proportion of the participants own a Bachelor's Degree, although a smaller percentage

hold a Postgraduate degree.

Based on the data provided in Table 6, a significant proportion of the participants

expressed strong agreement with the statement, "I have observed or been exposed to

advertisements of fast-food establishments (specifically McDonald's, Jollibee, Mang

Inasal, Chowking, Shakey’s, KFC) through various outdoor advertising mediums such

as posters, billboards, and sign boards." This statement obtained a weighted mean of

4.68. The findings indicate that respondents strongly agreed with all claims under the
Direct Channel, as seen by the grand mean of 4.60. This suggests that the multi-

channel marketing approach significantly influences customer brand recognition of fast-

food restaurants in the municipality of Nasugbu, Batangas.

According to Lulea (2021), many businesses find that social media sites are

useful for getting customers more involved with their brands before, during, and after a

buy. Using social media marketing tactics has been shown to improve both the image of

a brand and the loyalty of customers to that brand. Social media marketing campaigns

that had the biggest impact on the whole were those that focused on fun and spreading

the word. The improved company image also has a positive effect on how loyal people

are to the brand.

According to Table 7, a lot of the people who answered strongly agreed with the

statement, "I have seen or heard a social media personality promoting a fast-food

restaurant (McDonald's, Jollibee, Mang Inasal, Chowking, Shakey's, KFC) through their

online post/content." A weighted mean of 4.79 was given to this sentence. The results

show that people strongly agreed with all claims made in the indirect channel, as shown

by the mean score of 4.62. This also shows that the multi-channel marketing strategy

has a big effect on how well people in the municipality of Nasugbu, Batangas recognize
fast food businesses' brands by making them easier to find and showing them to more

people.

Someone's opinion about a business can either help or hurt its marketing efforts,

because that opinion can affect how customers see the services and goods the

business offers. As a result, consumer relationship management (CRM) is seen as a

smart way to improve brand perception among this group of consumers, especially

when a well-designed CRM initiative is introduced to them, making sure that everything

is clear and giving customers a chance to understand these programs, removing any

doubt or confusion. It is generally thought that this answer is the best one for both

businesses and charitable organizations. (Mobarak, 2022)

Based on the data presented in Table 8, a significant proportion of the

respondents expressed strong agreement with the following statement: "Fast-food

brands that I observe advertised on television, such as McDonald's, Jollibee, Mang

Inasal, Chowking, Shakey's, and KFC, are easier for me to recall." The weighted mean

score for this sentence was 4.77. The mean score of 4.61 indicates that respondents

strongly concurred with every claim made in the Brand Recall. Additionally, this

demonstrates that the implementation of a multi-channel marketing strategy significantly


impacts the level of brand recognition among residents of Nasugbu, Batangas for fast

food establishments.

To ensure ongoing consumer satisfaction and align with the organization's

mission and vision, it is critical for every business to consistently modify its operational

and marketing strategies. It is imperative to systematically incorporate the requisite

adjustments, while also considering contextual elements and both internal and external

patterns that influence consumer conduct. Without a clearly defined marketing strategy,

an organization faces the potential consequences of yielding to internal and external

influences, which could ultimately lead to the demise of the business. At this time, when

the global economy is displaying signs of crisis, it has become crucial for fast food

industry participants to modify their marketing strategies in order to successfully

navigate the increased competition brought about by the changed conditions.

Table 9 shows that a significant number of respondents with a weighted mean of

4.80 strongly agreed with the statement, "I can recognize the brand of a fast-food

restaurant (McDonald's, Jollibee, Mang Inasal, Chowking, Shakey's, KFC) through its

logo." With a mean score of 4.69, respondents highly agreed with all Brand Recognition

claims. Furthermore, data shows that the amount of brand awareness among the

people of Nasugbu, Batangas is highly influenced by the deployment of a multi-channel

marketing strategy for fast food restaurants.


The impact of social media marketing activities (SMMAs) on user intentions is

significant. Furthermore, social identity mediates the relationship between social media

activities and user intentions; satisfaction mediates the relationship between social

media activities and satisfaction. The objective of this research is to offer marketers

valuable insights regarding efficacious approaches to consumer acquisition and intent

development. Organizations must acknowledge the critical importance of efficiently

overseeing online strategies and brand communities to foster a robust community

identity. This practice serves to enhance the brand's competitiveness while also

inspiring brand community members to abstain from utilizing products and services

provided by rival companies. (Jamil, 2022)

Table 10 shows that a significant number of respondents with a weighted mean

of 4.80 strongly agreed with the statement, "I prefer to go to a fast-food restaurant

(McDonald's, Jollibee, Mang Inasal, Chowking, Shakey’s, KFC) that is famous on the

internet." With a mean score of 4.67, respondents highly agreed with all Brand

Dominance claims. Furthermore, data shows that the amount of brand awareness

among the people of Nasugbu, Batangas is highly influenced by the deployment of a

multi-channel marketing strategy like in social media or via word-of-mouth for fast food

restaurants.
According to Hanaysha (2022), social media sites are important ways for fast

food companies to reach their marketing goals, like building trust in their brand and

influencing customers' decisions about what to buy. All of these factors, except for

entertainment, are known to be important in predicting a person's choice to buy. The

fact that entertainment didn't have much of an effect could mean that people think fast-

food brands' social media material isn't very entertaining or isn't doing well in this area.

According to the data presented in Table 11, the p-value is 0.64, which above the

significance level of 0.05. In this instance, the statement "Accept Ho, there is no

significant difference" indicates that there is no justification for rejecting the null

hypothesis (Ho), implying that the mean values for this particular age group do not

exhibit any substantial disparity. Furthermore, the p-value is 0.13 is identical to that of

the Direct Channel. Consequently, the average figures for this particular age bracket do

not exhibit any notable disparities within the Indirect Channel. In summary, the p-values

indicate that there is no significant difference between the age groups regarding the
mean values of the statistic in both the Direct and Indirect Channels. The null

hypothesis is acceptable for both channels for all age groups.

Mecredy (2023) discovered that as age increases, the quantity of items

purchased decreases consistently. Therefore, the impact of age-related changes in

brand awareness and consideration, along with the fundamental factors that contribute

to these fluctuations, on the increase in loyalty, is negligible. Conversely, loyalty towards

a particular brand tends to increase with age as a result of a confluence of factors: the

accumulation of experience, the development of purchasing patterns, and a reduction in

the frequency of purchases within a given category.

The results of table 12 indicate that each of the three components has a p-value

that is greater than 0.05. The p-value for Brand Recall is 0.39, the p-value for Brand

Recognition is 0.37, and the p-value for Brand Dominance is 0.59. When it comes to

statistics, a p-value that is greater than 0.05 implies that there is not a significant

difference between the groups. The results of this study indicate that the null hypothesis

(Ho) is supported, which indicates that there is no statistically significant difference in

the scores for Brand Recall, Brand Recognition, and Brand Dominance among the

different age groups (20-39, 40-59, and 60-above).

Moreover, some of the things that happen as people get older are cognitive

decline in memory and thinking speed, biological aging that changes physical abilities,

more resistance to change, less creativity, stronger brand attachment and long-standing

habits, and nostalgia. The effect of expertise may be different based on how useful the

knowledge gained over a lifetime is for the current product or service on the market.

Without a doubt, it is hard to tell the exact effects of age, group, and era apart.

The table displays data on two channels (Direct and Indirect) and their influence

on two demographic categories (Male and Female) using an average measure. The P-

value quantifies the level of significance of the observed differences. The average

results for both males and females are similar in both channels, with relatively high P-

values (0.60 for the Direct Channel and 0.26 for the Indirect Channel). The statement

"Accept Ho" implies that there is no substantial distinction between the groups in each

channel.

Businesses are changing how they respond to customer needs and wants

because more people are using social media. It also gives businesses more chances to

sell their goods and services in a more personalized way. When social media marketing

companies do their work, they mostly use six things as tools: online groups, interaction,

content sharing, credibility, and ease of access. Also, the part of demographics

moderation is important when looking at the link between Facebook marketing on social

media and brand recognition among consumers. (ElAydi, 2018)

Men get an average score of 50.1 for Brand Recall, while women get an average

score of 49.9. The P-value that goes with it is 0.75. There is no significant difference in

Brand Recall between men and women, so the null hypothesis (Ho) is accepted. When

it comes to Brand Recognition is just similar with a P-value of 0.85. The null hypothesis

is true, which means that there isn't a major difference between men and women in how

well they recognize brands. Both men and women who took the Brand Dominance test

got got the same average like Brand Recall and Brand Recognition with a P-value of

0.82. There is no significant difference in Brand Dominance between men and women,

so the null hypothesis is accepted. Finally, the study finds that there is no statistically

significant difference between the male and female subjects in Brand Recall, Brand

Recognition, and Brand Dominance.

A logo's ability to quickly become known to people is very important, and can be

achieved with a well-thought-out design. Leelayudthyothin (2021) found that people of

both sexes saw the letter mark and the picture mark the same way. But when it came to

text designs, there were clear differences between men and women. Males were less

good at recognizing words than females, but they were better at remembering

combination marks.

The table indicates that the mean values for individuals with distinct marital

statuses (Single, Married, Widowed) are 55.8, 37, and 6.7, respectively. The calculated

P-value is 0.63. The null hypothesis (Ho) is upheld, suggesting that there is no

statistically significant disparity in the mean values for persons with varying marital

situations in the Direct Channel. Similarly, the Indirect Channel has a P-value of 0.67.

The null hypothesis is once again accepted, indicating that there is no statistically

significant disparity in average values based on marital status inside the Indirect

Channel. Within an academic framework, this analysis indicates that the married status

does not exert a noteworthy influence on the average values in both the Direct and

Indirect Channels. This is supported by the acceptance of the null hypothesis.

According to the research of Büyükdağ (2021), brand awareness exerted a

significant direct influence on brand image, while also having a remarkable indirect
effect on brand loyalty and purchase intention via brand image. Moreover, it is worth

noting the significant direct influence that brand image has on satisfaction, brand loyalty,

and purchase intention. Additionally, brand loyalty plays a substantial indirect role in

shaping word-of-mouth (WOM) and purchase intent via brand image. Presently, the

intentions of consumers to make purchases on social media platforms are substantially

impacted by brand awareness and brand image, as well as brand loyalty and word-of-

mouth (WOM).

Across the three categories (Brand Recall, Brand Recognition, and Brand

Dominance), the analysis indicates that there is no significant variation in the average

scores for the various marital statuses. This conclusion is reinforced by the p-values, all
of which are higher than the standard significance levels (0.05). Therefore, the null

hypothesis (Ho) is accepted for each parameter, which indicates that there is no

statistically significant association between marital status and the brand-related metrics

that were analyzed in the population that was examined.

Consumer purchasing behavior, brand awareness, and brand loyalty were all

significantly predicted by advertisements. Furthermore, the influence of brand

awareness served as a partial mediator in the relationship between advertising and

consumer purchasing behavior and brand loyalty. Moreover, consumer purchasing

behavior is profoundly impacted by the correlation between brand recognition, brand

loyalty, and the perception of quality. (Zhao, 2021)

According to table 17, both the Direct and Indirect Channels accept the null

hypothesis (Ho) since the P-values (0.42 and 0.37) above the standard significance

level of 0.05. This indicates that there is no statistically significant disparity in Monthly

Income among the different income categories within each channel. To put it simply, the

differences in income distribution that we see are probably just a result of chance, and

there is not enough solid evidence to disprove the idea that Monthly Income is evenly

spread across the defined income categories in both Direct and Indirect Channels.

Irawan (2021) states that a company's brand is an intangible object that

represents the bond between the company and its customers, which has emotional,

social, and economic benefits. A person's income level is a big factor that can affect the

brand they choose. Sadly, most of the study that has been done on the effects of

income on businesses has focused on prices and not looked at the relationship between

brand and customers.

Respondents were divided into groups based on their monthly income, which

ranged from less than ₱12,082 to ₱144,984. This was done so that the study could look

at how brand image might be different across different income groups. The first
parameter, Brand memory, has a p-value of 0.38, which means that there isn't a big

difference between income levels when it comes to brand memory. So, the null

hypothesis (Ho) is true, which means that income level doesn't have a big effect on

brand memory. Similar patterns can be seen in the next income groups, where

percentages drop as income levels rise. On the other hand, the p-values always stay

above the standard level of significance of 0.05, which supports the null hypothesis.

This means that there isn't a big difference between individuals with different income

levels in terms of brand recall, brand recognition, and brand dominance. The fact that

the null hypothesis has been consistently rejected suggests that respondents' opinions

of brands may be shaped by things other than their income levels. More study and

research into these factors could help marketers make better plans for reaching a wide

range of customer groups.

Brand loyalty and respect are important parts of making sure customers are

happy. Several things, such as brand equity and brand image, are used to measure

brand recognition. The brand image is judged on a number of factors, such as the price,

the level of knowledge of the product, its quality, its design, its services, and so on.

Branding is important for every business to stay alive and be successful. A brand is an

easily recognized thing that makes a product stand out, like a name, color, or symbol.

To put it simply, a brand is an association that makes people think of a certain thing.

` The data shows clear patterns of how monthly income is shared among people

with different levels of education through both direct and indirect channels. The p-values

of 0.41 for the direct channel show that there are no significant changes in the mean

income between people with different levels of education in the direct channel. In the

same way, the p-values of 0.37 show that there are no statistically significant

differences in the mean income between people with different levels of schooling in the

indirect channel. Based on the p-values, the analysis of monthly income differences
across school levels and channels shows that there isn't enough evidence to reject the

null hypothesis (Accept Ho). In the channels that were looked at, this means that people

with different levels of schooling have similar average incomes. That being said, more

research and looking at more factors might be needed to fully understand the processes

that cause changes in income in these channels.

Moreover, Bohara (2022) states that bcause there is so much competition,

building brand recognition has become an important part of marketing for colleges and

universities that want to get more students to join. It's possible to see how brand

knowledge factors affect every step of the decision-making process, even when the

student's gender is taken into account. Also, these institutions need to put brand

awareness campaigns at the top of their list of priorities because they have the ability to

increase enrollment at higher education institutions.

The table shows the average monthly income and how people feel about a brand

at different levels of schooling. Across the educational spectrum, there are pretty

consistent trends in how people remember, recognize, and dominate a brand. There

isn't a statistically significant difference between the means in any of the categories,

which means that monthly income doesn't have a big effect on how people of different
schooling levels feel about a brand. Based on the data presented, the study comes to

the conclusion that monthly income does not have a major effect on how people with

different levels of education feel about a brand. More study may be needed to look into

other factors that might affect how people in different educational groups feel about a

brand.

For State University, the recruitment of new pupils presents both a challenge and

a potential threat. In order to develop efficacious strategies for enhancing brand

awareness at State University, a more exhaustive comprehension of the factors and

processes that influence students' choices of university is imperative. Six essential

factors must be taken into account when choosing a higher education institution:

academics, facilities, campus life, reputation, industry connections, and accessibility. In

contemporary scholarship, graduates' talents and abilities take precedence over their

university experiences. It provides guidance to State University in the development of

their marketing strategies. (Rachmadhani, 2018)
