Abstract :
Today, due to the globalization of organizations and product diversity, product sales competition has become more important in the marketing of fast-moving consumer goods. Different strategies can be used to differentiate goods in retail stores. The importance of retailers of fast-moving consumer goods and its effect on consumer behavior prompted the researcher to investigate this issue. It should be noted that due to the prevailing culture in Iran (unlike abroad), Iranian retailers take responsibility for marketing their goods in stores. As a result, designing a marketing pattern for retailers of fast-moving consumer goods can have a significant effect on the prosperity of this market segment. In this research, through qualitative research method and interview, we designed the marketing model of retailers of fast-moving consumer goods and its effect on consumer behavior. First, by reviewing the theoretical literature and using the content analysis method from two ways, manually and using Max QDE software to the four main themes "Consumer factors in marketing, marketer tasks, store management and behavior "Consumer" achieved and the marketing model of retailers of fast-moving consumer goods and its effect on consumer behavior was designed based on theoretical studies and interviews with 10 retailers. Finally, suggestions were made to reduce the gap and achieve the desired situation.
