COstreekkrachten

Costreekkrachten refers to the forces that act upon a costumer in the process of a costumer-entrepreneur interaction, primarily in a business context. It is a concept developed by Dutch academic L.J.M. Adriaanse in the late 20th century, specifically in the field of entrepreneurship and marketing.

According to Adriaanse, costureenkrachten are the variables that influence the decision-making process of a costumer, including factors such as product value, price, quality, and perceived benefit. These forces can be external to the costumer, such as market trends and competition, or internal, such as the costumer's own economic and demographic circumstances.

Costureenkrachten can be regarded as both a driver and an inhibitor of sales. For instance, a perceived high value of a product at a competitive price may motivate a costumer to make a purchase, whereas the same price increase may deter a costumer if it contradicts their purchasing threshold.

Businesses can utilize the concept of costureenkrachten to inform their marketing strategies and tailor their offerings to cater to the specific needs of their target audience. By understanding and leveraging the relevant forces at play, companies may improve the appeal of their products and gain a more significant share of the market.

The understanding of costureenkrachten involves the analysis of both push and pull forces that drive or restrain customer behavior. The application of this concept by entrepreneurs can help identify segments of the market for individuals whose values are steered by wants as opposed to just needs: further, delineating which behaviors, motivators and actions influence them to purchase from you rather to others out there.
