O papel da marca Oi Casa Grande como influenciador da escolha do consumidor de serviços de entretenimento

Abstract

In the spectrum of intangibility that characterizes the services, it is highlighted that the process of evaluation of the latest rest much more in the so called qualities of experience, which includes taste and sensation caused by use. Therefore, all the services are experiments and its use ceased to have characteristics ultimately objective, functional, or rational, and began to contain an experimental dimension. Leisure activities, such as theatre, are experiences that should provide entertainment so that the consumers can make good use of their rather scarce free time. However, attributes of experience such as emotion, fun or value of entertainment can only be perceived and evaluated after a purchase or during consumption. This difficulty of evaluation, on the other hand, creates a circumstance: a higher risk of performance, understood as a capacity to deliver what was promised. Having in sight the inevitability of risk associated to the consumption of the services and the preference of various clients to avoid this risk, However, to simplify making a decision, many consumers frequently use mental shortcuts instead of searching for information; as brand names for example. This thesis, based on the inductive method, qualitative approach, and classified as exploratory, drew on literature, documentary and field research to investigate the extent to which the mark of the establishment where theatrical spectacle occurs influences the choice of the customer of that service. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 regular guests of the theater Oi Casa Grande, located in the city of Rio de Janeiro, whose results were analyzed using a variant of the discourse analysis It was identified that the brand of the theater would only be relevant on the choice of theatrical performances. While it was not relativized to a particular niche of the "great musicals", the brand was not even cited as motivating the consumption of theatrical performances. The great fuel in this sense was content of the play, only by occurring dependency between the brand and the promise brought by it when it comes to niche market - as occurs with the large musicals, given the special physical conditions they require. However, when asked to think of a simple way - i.e., elaborating the image of the service a bit more, including sophisticated requirements necessary for its proper delivery to the customer – the interviewers automatically identified the impossibility of this provision is to give assistance to adequate physical care needs. Thus, it was confirmed, the perfection, the literature of Marketing Services says that when tangibles serve as a primary indicator for assessing customer service prior to purchase and to measure their satisfaction during and after delivery, combined with the perception of perceived risk that is heightened during the consumption of services.
