Abstract

The theme of our research is the influence of popular logo on the behaviour of high school and college students. More and more high school and college students are attracted by popular brands, and it seems that popular logo becomes a fashion trend within those student communities. For this phenomenon, we consider that media plays an important role in this kind of consumer behaviour. In contemporary society, because of the rapid development of media, its influence needs to be taken seriously, especially on young people, which contributes to understand and change the consumer psychology of those people. In order to obtain relevant data for our research, we use a questionnaire with 15 individual questions. The answers to the questionnaire are used to analyse the correlation between the research question we proposed and the respondents’ perspectives. Overall, we investigate respondents’ opinions from three aspects, consumption idea, influence factor, and views on actions. In conclusion, the answers to the questionnaire and our analysis suggest that popular logos have an irreplaceable and unique domain in the clothing market nowadays. Meanwhile, social media greatly promote the popularity of those brands. It can be seen from the influence of external packing, spokesperson and indirect advertisement on these students’ choices of popular brands. Besides, most young people pursuit those clothes mainly because popular logos fit their preferences and they are generally rational for the consume on popular logos. In the era of media, it is significant to realize the media effect and shape the correct consumption values of high school and college students on these popular brands.
