I am a graduate student in the States. I am working on a project and need some assistance. I need a break down of the "consumer behavior" in the Czech Republic. Are on-line games available? If so, are they popular? Is buying done on a more of a want or need basis? Is advertisement/marketing big there? What demographic of people purchase more freely? Any help is appreciated. thanks
They purchase more based on need than want. Unless it's beer, then it's a little bit need & want combined! :wink:
I'm not expert, but: Online games are available. Both on computers (like WoW, or Guild wars) and mobil games. This market is growing, but income and computer/internet ratio are lower than in west Europe, so numbers are smaller. I believe that statistics in last years show that "want basis" grows rapidly. It is. Czech commercials are winning some international advertisement competitions here and there. I'm not sure if I understandt this one... I would suggest to contact one of advertisement magazines in Czech republic. It's possible they could send you specific data: Strategie - http://www.istrategie.cz/ - sochor@mf.cz Marketing&Media - http://mam.ihned.cz/ - mm@economia.cz I worked with some people from these magazines before and i believe that it's worth to contact them.
Lineage is also popular (on free unofficial servers though), I've seen lot of people play it during lectures at my uni
