The purpose of the study is to provide an analysis of consumer behavior and preferences in Russia in the market of leather goods.

The study aims to obtain relevant information about the state of demand and preferences for types and brands of products, as well as the existing model of consumer behavior in the Russian market of leather goods.

The results will be relevant to manufacturers of leather goods, companies involved in distribution, as well as wholesalers and retail trade.

The results of the study will allow you to:

       • optimize the assortment and pricing policies;

       • improve the efficiency of interaction of consumers;

       • increasing awareness and loyalty to the brand product;

       • create and market a new product;

       • increase sales.

The study involved 400 respondents aged 16 to 50 years, who had bought "leather goods" of leather and substitutes. The study covers the two major Russian cities - Moscow and St. Petersburg - as the most capacious, and, hence, attractive and strategically important areas of the Russian market.

Among the producers of leather goods, European countries inspire the most confidence among Russian consumers. Italy, far and away, led in this area, followed by Russia, which garnered the trust of 14% of respondents.

The results of our research reveled that the main sources of information about leather goods brands are the recommendations of friends and acquaintances, followed by via the Internet, television and advertising in newspapers and magazines.

According to the survey, the key motivation for buying leather goods is in the replacement of previously purchased products that have lost their relevance (58%). In addition, consumers' often buy a new product to complement their wardrobe with no specific cause (29%), or, conversely, for a particular item (20%).

The study identified four segments of consumers: premium, middle upper, middle, lower, lower. The main criterions for the differentiations were consumed brands of leather goods, and, according to them, the cost of the product.

The study was realized by utilizing an online-poll survey which targeted consumers' using the Internet to answer the survey questions. The selection of respondents was conducted on the basis of contacts from online-related panels.

A potential respondent received an e-mail invitation and upon the successful completion of the preliminary question-and-filter started filling in questionnaires. The survey was run via software provided by the survey company OMI (Online Market Intelligence), which is a leading Russian company providing integrated marketing solutions for online research.

The advantages of an online-survey:

• The use of online-survey techniques optimizes time and financial resources.
• An online study can qualitatively reduces the influence of the researcher to the respondent.
• An online-survey respondent feels more like an active participant in the survey, and not subject to manipulation.
• Terms of filling online-questionnaire, to establish and maintain contact closer to the natural and familiar to the respondent's living conditions. This helps to reduce psychological distress, fosters a positive image of the research and stimulates interest in them, and actively helps to recruit new respondents.
• Simplicity and ease; the ability for the respondent to choose a convenient time (the attainability of the respondent, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week)
• A guarantee of anonymity, which allows for the attracting of a large number of respondents, while increasing the rate of return of completed questionnaires, as well as better guaranteeing the accuracy and sincerity of the answers received.

The reliability of the information received, is verified by the following methods:

• Re-interview the study participants (control);
• Culling profiles stereotypical responses (for example, a column or zigzags in the table issues);
• Filtering "flat" profiles stereotypical answers to questions (a respondent always answers "strongly agree" to a large number of statements).
