Consumer Psychology

Based on Maslows hierarchy of needs, let us consider the several psychological stages a consumer goes through while purchasing Frooti.



Motivation - Frooti is consumed to quench thirst (physiological needs)

Perception - The brand perception is created by the awareness that is built by the communication strategies. Being associated with a parent company as that of Parle Agro, Frooti is perceived to be a drink of very good quality. the brand is perceived as a youth brand.

Memory – Frooti is a brand that has dominated the market for over 26 years. The tagline Fresh and Juicy is in built in the consumer mind in such a way that it accompanies the product Mango Frooti unknowingly. The tagline and the jingle remains in our heads as soon as we listen to them. Besides this, Parle as a parent company is well known for its contribution to the food and beverage industry. Due to the link with this company, it becomes easily acceptable in society.

Consumer Characteristics

Cultural – Mango for generations is considered to be the king fruit of the country. With such a strong linkage to this cultural aspect, a drink such as Frooti becomes highly acceptable. In India it is mandatory to quench our thirst with something sweet rather than only water. Serving a drink made from the king of fruits will help elevate the quality of care towards others. 

Social – Frooti has repositioned itself in order to be a drink for the youth. Having a Frooti is considered cool and youthful due to the various innovative campaigns they come up with. Frooti due to its availability in several packs can be taken along at different occasions. The idea of drinking healthy and staying fit by not having any of the colas is also a social factor in the eyes of the consumer.

Personal – The craving to indulge in something sweet and healthy is what encourages us to buy a Frooti. The sweet tasted of Frooti requires a developed taste and hence may vary from person to person.


The above then culminate and help us understand the buying decision process of the product.
