Executive Summary

Metrosexuality is the trend of urban male consumers, with a strong aesthetic sense, who spend a great deal of time and money on their appearance and lifestyle (Hackbarth, 2003). For the study of consumer behavior, a laddering technique is used to ascertain the psychological needs behind these product purchases. This paper proposes that the grooming products targeted to metrosexual men are fulfilling the self-esteem needs of these customers. By maintaining their self-esteem, these men are also fulfilling higher-order and broader social and esteem needs.
As a product category, metrosexual grooming products have many unique marketing issues. In the marketing of these products, phrasing is of utmost importance to avoid feminine connotation. Opinion Leaders have a great deal of effect on the norms from which these customers draw their self-images. The American definition of what is masculine has and continues to change with this trend, as well as changing the grooming expectations for men in America.
