This chapter explores the four fundamental components of self-concept: actual, ideal, private, and social. It highlights how self-concept influences brand image and consumer behavior, with an emphasis on seeking products that enhance one’s self-perception. The chapter also delves into the VALS 2 system, which categorizes consumers based on their lifestyle orientations, and the PRIZM system, which segments neighborhoods into lifestyle clusters. By understanding these concepts, marketers can better align their strategies with consumer self-concept and preferences.
