· Analysis Strategy: Comparative study of app users vs. non-users regarding season pass upgrades.

· Notes (One Minute): This study investigates the relationship between mobile app usage and the likelihood of consumers upgrading to season passes, directly addressing our second research question (RQ2). We hypothesize that there is a positive correlation between app usage and increased season pass purchases. We will conduct a comparative study to analyze behaviors and upgrade patterns between app users and non-users, examining their purchase habits, app interaction metrics, and upgrade rates to validate this. The goal is to ascertain whether engagement with the mobile app significantly encourages customers to invest in season passes, potentially identifying a vital area for targeted marketing efforts. We aim to confirm if higher engagement with the app leads to increased season pass upgrades, offering actionable insights for future marketing strategies that focus on enhancing app development and user engagement.

Slide 7: Research Question 3 (RQ3) – Coupon Usage

· Title: Effect of Coupon Redemption on Price Perceptions

· Bullet Points:

· Hypothesis 3 (H3): Positive impact of coupon redemption on price perceptions.

· Results: Statistical analysis of price fairness perceptions among Groupon users vs. non-users.

· Inferences: Marginal trends suggesting improved perceptions, though statistically insignificant.

· Notes (One Minute): This presentation explores the third research question (RQ3) on how coupon redemption impacts consumers' perceptions of pricing in a park setting, specifically questioning whether patrons using a coupon perceive better pricing value. We hypothesized that coupon users would perceive greater value due to the discount benefits. Our analysis compared the price fairness perceptions of Groupon users to those of non-users. Despite Groupon users having a slightly higher average price perception score, statistical tests showed that the differences were insignificant, as the p-value exceeded the conventional significance level. The findings suggest a marginal trend towards a more favorable pricing perception among Groupon users, but it's statistically insignificant. This suggests that coupons like Groupon may attract customers but do not significantly change price fairness perceptions. The results emphasize the need for a strategic balance in promotional efforts to enhance and sustain favorable customer perceptions effectively, indicating that promotions must be paired with genuine value offers.

Slide 8: Research Questions 5 & 6 – Value Perceptions and Group Size

· Title: Factors Influencing Visitor Value Perceptions and the Effect of Group Size

· Bullet Points:

· Hypothesis 5 (H5): Multiple factors contributing to enhanced value perceptions.

· Hypothesis 6 (H6): Exploration of group size impact on service quality and emotional responses.

· Results and Inferences: Strong correlations between service quality and value perceptions; no significant effect of group size on visitor satisfaction.

· Notes: Hypothesis 5 (H5) explores how multiple factors, such as the adoption of a mobile navigation app, the use of discount coupons, and the ease of navigating within the park, significantly enhance visitors' value perceptions. A detailed analysis using a heatmap of the correlation matrix between service quality and value perception variables reveals a strong positive correlation. Notably, attributes directly related to attractions (SQ1-SQ5) align closely with perceptions of value (VAL1-VAL4). This suggests that higher service and attraction quality markedly elevate perceived value, indicating that maintaining high service standards and ensuring navigational ease is crucial for enhancing value perceptions and potentially increasing visitor satisfaction and the likelihood of repeat visits.

Hypothesis 6 (H6) examines the impact of group size on service quality and emotional responses at the Swamp Place Museum, ranging from solo visitors to larger groups. Using One-Way ANOVA to analyze various group sizes, the results showed no significant differences in service quality measures across different groups. Similarly, emotional responses (FEEL1 to FEEL4) also exhibited no substantial distinctions, even after adjusting for missing data. While FEEL2's p-value was closest to the significance threshold, it did not demonstrate a statistically significant impact.

The combined findings from Hypotheses 5 and 6 highlight the critical role of service quality and ease of navigation in shaping visitor value perceptions. Conversely, the absence of significant differences across various group sizes suggests that group size does not significantly affect visitors' perceptions of service quality or emotional responses. These insights are invaluable for the museum's management, indicating that improvements in services and facilities can be designed to meet visitors’ needs universally rather than tailoring them specifically to different group sizes. This strategic focus ensures that enhancing overall service quality and visitor navigation within the museum remains a priority, independent of group size variations.

Slide 9: Research Question 7 – Demographic and Promotional Impact

· Title: Demographic and Promotional Strategy Effects on Visitor Perceptions

· Bullet Points:

· Hypothesis 7 (H7): Impact of demographic factors and promotional strategies on satisfaction and value.

· Results: Unexpected findings showing negative impacts of app and Groupon use on perceived value and satisfaction.

· Inferences: Need for reevaluation of promotional strategies and technology implementation.

· Notes:

· Our study, Hypothesis 7 (H7), investigated how demographic factors and promotional strategies affect satisfaction and value perceptions at the Swamp Place Museum and yielded unexpected results. Initially, we anticipated that younger demographics, mobile app usage, and Groupon discounts would enhance satisfaction and perceived value. Contrarily, our regression analysis revealed that both the mobile app and Groupon negatively impacted perceived value and satisfaction, with substantial negative coefficients, while a positive perception of price fairness consistently improved both metrics. This contradiction to our predictions suggests that while fair pricing positively affects visitor experience, the implementation of the app and Groupon promotions may be flawed and may not align with visitor expectations. These findings suggest reevaluating these strategies, possibly addressing app usability issues, and revising Groupon terms to meet visitor expectations more effectively. Additionally, focusing on transparent and fair pricing strategies might better justify costs and enhance visitor satisfaction, suggesting a shift from targeted demographic promotions to more universally appealing approaches. The results highlight a need for strategic adjustments in promotional tactics to improve the visitor experience significantly at the museum.
