Über dieses Buch

Ergün Kalayci öffnet in diesem Buch ein Fenster in die Hochzeitsvermarktung türkischer Veranstaltungshallen in Deutschland. Er bewegt sich durch die komplexen Gewässer des Dienstleistungs-, Ethnik- und Eventmarketings, um eine Marketingstrategie zu skizzieren, die auf die Steigerung der Kundenzufriedenheit und der wirtschaftlichen Rentabilität abzielt. Mithilfe eines sorgfältig konzipierten Mischmethodenansatzes untersucht der Autor die verschiedenen Marktsegmente für türkische Veranstaltungshallen und kategorisiert die Kundenpräferenzen in klare Segmente. Diese Erkenntnisse dienen als Schlüssel zum Verständnis der Beziehungen zwischen Kundenanforderungen, Eventdesign und Kundenzufriedenheit und bieten konkrete Ansatzpunkte, um das Event-Erlebnis zu verbessern. Die Analyse betont die Bedeutung der Diversifizierung von Unternehmenskonzepten, insbesondere im Kontext der COVID-19-Krise. Sie bietet nicht nur innovative Einblicke in die Bereiche ethnisches Marketing und Hochzeitsmarketing, sondern liefert auch praktische Anleitungen zur Verbesserung der Marketingstrategien türkischer Veranstaltungshäuser in Deutschland und stellt damit eine wertvolle Ressource für die akademische Forschung sowie die praktische Umsetzung im Bereich des Veranstaltungssaalmanagements dar.

Chapter 1. Initial Situation
Abstract
Since the 1960s, an increasing number of people of Turkish origin have relocated their lives to Germany. In 2017, around 2,774,000 people with Turkish migration backgrounds lived in Germany, of which 47.8% had their own migration experiences and 52.2% belonged to subsequent generations. They form the largest group of people with migration backgrounds at 16.7%, and with a share of about 3.5% of the total population, they are considered a significant part of German society.

Chapter 2. Problem Statement
Abstract
Initially, the scientific discourse raises the question of how ethnic groups will continue to evolve in terms of their distinctive traditions, in this case, wedding celebrations. Comprehensive studies on the marketing of wedding celebrations are scarcely available. An empirical toolkit to investigate the marketing strategies for the specific ethnic groups has not yet been developed in a systematic diction.

Chapter 6. State of Research
Abstract
The examination of German Turks as a target group, in order to identify determinants regarding their ethnic values and consumption behavior, can be traced back to the 1980s. However, corresponding studies have only increased significantly after 2000. The growing economic and social significance of German Turks can be considered the reason for this development.

Chapter 7. Theoretical Explanations
Abstract
A systematic review is to be conducted to provide an overview of the current state of empirical research on wedding marketing and to develop categories for a proprietary empirical study in the segment of Turkish event halls with a focus on weddings.

Chapter 9. Research Design
Abstract
This study aims to answer these research questions by conducting a supply and demand market analysis regarding banquet halls and the design of weddings for customers with Turkish roots in Germany. The central market forces and business areas are discussed in a systematic manner.

Chapter 11. Discussion, Interpretation and Conclusion
Abstract
Chapter 11 draws conclusions from the empirical results that concern the overall problem of the work. The quality and method of the study are critically questioned, and the results of the hypothesis tests are summarized to gain further design-oriented objectives.

Chapter 12. Recommendations/Solutions for Research
Abstract
Based on the theoretical results of the study, it becomes clear that both the research work on ethnomarketing targeting German citizens of Turkish origin and the research work on event marketing for wedding events, especially with an intercultural context, have so far been rudimentary.
Ergün Kalayci
Chapter 13. Recommendations/Solutions for Practice
Abstract
The results of this study also provide valuable insights for the working practices of event hall operators. These are suitable, among other things, to increase customer satisfaction of guests and especially wedding guests in Turkish event halls. Furthermore, event hall operators benefit economically from a targeted adjustment of their event marketing and the focus on high-revenue target groups.

Chapter 14. Summary and Conclusion
Abstract
The study makes a novel contribution to ethnomarketing for diaspora communities by examining the preferences and consumption needs of consumers of Turkish origin in Germany with regard to wedding events in a differentiated manner. It becomes clear that while there is a high diversity of preferences, these preferences can be classified factor-analytically and assigned to consumption patterns. The systematics obtained can substantiate empirical research on target groups of Turkish origin in Germany.

Abstract
The work deals with marketing for event halls for wedding events of Turkish-origin target groups in the German diaspora.
