A cross-cultural comparison of response to service promotion
Article Abstract:
A survey of 11,532 users of a consumer health service in six different countries reveals that the cultural characteristics of consumers influence the success of international marketing efforts. In general, urban dwellers, people affiliated to majority religious groups and non-minority ethnic groups show greater response to promotional activities especially to print and electronic media, and to the service organization doing the promotion, while people residing in rural areas and members of religious and minority ethnic groups show greater response to personal promotional methods.
