HUBÁČKOVÁ, Petra
The main aim of this diploma thesis is to assess the impact of Fairtrade programmes on consumption of private label products in chosen retail chain. Important part of this thesis is to make suggestions to raise awareness of private label products with Fairtrade programme certification based on the found information. This diploma work has two parts - theoretical and practical. Theoretical part is focused on Fairtrade and Fairtrade programmes, private labels, marketing research and consumer behaviour. Practical part includes description of chosen retail chain - Kaufland v. o. s and their private labels in connection with Fairtrade programmes. Very important in practical part is marketing research. Marketing research was implemented in the form of and online questionnaire with 22 questions. The obtained data were analysed with MS Excel and software Statistica. Specifically, Pearson's chi-square test and correlation coefficient were used. Based on the analysis, the results were evaluated The main finding from the research is that awareness of Fairtrade programmes is generally low. The same situation is with using Fairtrade programmes at private label products. The main reasons for buying are taste and price. Next reasons are good feeling, environmental protection, good working conditions and others. From the survey were obtained other interesting information. In conclusion, people are not completely indifferent to Fairtrade and helping others, but awareness needs to be raised, which will lead to more help to producers and farmers in developing countries. Another benefit will be higher sales of products of private brands of retail chains with Fairtrade programme certification mark.
