Abstract [sv]

Dagens konsumenter nöjer sig inte längre med en enstaka produkt, de vill ha ett mervärde, en

image att förhålla sig till, kunna passa in men även anpassa sina produkter efter just deras

specifika behov. Vi befinner oss i en slags upplevelse-ekonomi. Efterfrågan på var ifrån min

produkt som jag köper exempelvis kommer ifrån och vem som har gjort den, spelar en större

och större roll för konsumenter. En vara ska kännas autentisk, alltså äkta. Det som gör en sak

äkta för en människa, kanske dock inte känns äkta för en annan, därför individualiseras

företagens produkter mer och mer. Detta har lett till en uppsjö av olika erbjudanden vilket vi

som konsumenter också förväntar oss. Denna uppsats beskriver det mervärde som nutidens

konsumenter vill ha och varför det blivit så. Att skapa ett mervärde i produkten samt skapa

känslomässiga relationer med konsumenter är en viktig del i teoriavsnittet vad det gäller att

förstå vad autenticitet är och vilka som vill ha det. Uppsatsens undersökning genomförs

tillsammans med respondenter, aktiva inom hudvårdsbranschen för att uppsatsen ska finna

svar på problemformuleringen. Analysen och slutsatsen innehåller dem nyanser av svaren från

respondenterna som ställs mot teorin för att se hur autenticitet tar sig i uttryck i företags

marknadskommunikation.

Abstract [en]

Today's consumers are no longer satisfied with a single product, they want added value, an

image to relate to, to fit in, but also adapt their products for their specific needs. We are in a

kind of experience-economy. Demand on where the product that I buy comes from, who made

it, what country the person lives in, if the package fits into my bathroom-shelf and how the

product feels, are going to play a more and more important role for consumers. A product

should feel authentic, thus genuine. What makes a thing true for a person, might not make it

true for another, therefore companies individualize products more and more. This has led to a

plethora of different offers, which is something that we as consumers also expect. This essay

describes the added value that today's consumer’s want and why that is the case. The creation

of added value in the product and forging emotional relationships with consumers is an

important part of the theory section in terms of understanding what authenticity is and who

wants it. The study is conducted with respondents, active in the skincare-industry to find

answers to the problem statement in the essay. The analysis and conclusion contains the

nuances of responses from respondents, which answers the questions that are based on the

theory section of the essay. The analysis and conclusion contains the shades of responses

from respondents to see how authenticity takes form in companies marketing

communications.
