“…Similar to china's social class, one form of manifestation of the social class distinction in Vietnam is the rural versus urban divide (Wang & Anderson, 2014). The status of residency categorizes Vietnamese people into different packages of social status and social benefits not withholding infrastructure, and is conveniently termed rural versus urban (Chen, Bian, Xin, Wang & Silbereisen, 2010;Chen & Li, 2012).…”

Sales promotion is an essential tool which leads to real increase in sales and profit. According to previous studies, sales promotions are effective at a cross cultural level when they provide benefits that go hand in hand with those of the promoted product. However, there is no literature state about the different sales promotion consumer benefits influences on its effectiveness at the demographic level (urban verses rural). To address this concern, this paper seeks to explore the congruence framework by analyzing how culture at a demographic group level impacts sales promotion. The objective is to investigate whether cultural differences at this level will have an impact at the effectiveness of sales promotion. This conceptual paper sheds light on the influence of culture in demographic group level in determining the response of consumers to sales promotions. The findings will contribute to the understanding of products and promotion types in the Vietnam retailers. It will also allow manufacturing companies to focus better on their strategies for marketing their products towards the Vietnamese consumer.

BackgroundPlenty of evidence has shown that self-perceived uselessness among older adults is negatively associated with successful aging in terms of good health in Western societies. It is unclear whether these findings are valid in China where living into older age is more selective due to high mortality at younger ages.MethodsUsing five waves (2000, 2002, 2005, 2008/2009 and 2011/2012) of a large nationally representative survey in China with 29,954 observations from 19,070 older adults aged 65 and older, this study aimed to investigate the association between self-perceived uselessness and successful aging. Self-perceived uselessness was measured by a single item “with age, do you feel more useless?” with six answers: always, often, sometimes, seldom, never, and unable to answer. Successful aging was measured by independence in activities of daily living (ADL), independence in instrumental activities of daily living (IADL), unimpaired cognition, good life satisfaction, and good self-rated health. Logistic regression models were applied to each successful aging indicator after controlling for a rich set of covariates that included demographics, socioeconomic status, family/social support, and health practices. The models also adjusted for intraperson correlations across waves.ResultsWe found that self-perceived uselessness was negatively associated with successful aging among older adults aged 65 or older. Specifically, compared to never having self-perceived uselessness, always having such a perception was associated with 16–42 % lower odds of being ADL independent, IADL independent, cognitively unimpaired, and having good life satisfaction and good self-rated health. Often or sometimes having such a perception also reduced odds of aging successfully, although such reductions were less pronounced. The associations were similar among the oldest-old aged 80 or older with one exception for the case of IADL independence.ConclusionsSelf-perceived uselessness is negatively associated with successful aging among Chinese older adults as well as among the oldest-old. Our findings could be informative for China in the development of public health programs that aim to improve self-perceptions about aging and promote successful aging.
