2. Absolute Thresholds

• The minimum level of stimulus needed for it to


be perceived i.e., the point of detecting a
difference between something & nothing.

• For example: the point at which one can first see


the billboard on a high way. Before that point the
billboard is below the absolute threshold.
3. Differential Thresholds

The minimum difference that can be


detected between two similar stimuli is
known as the differential stimuli or the
j.n.d. (just noticeable difference).

The minimum detectable difference.


Example of Differential Threshold

1. A black & white television commercial. (Levi’s


black & white ad)

2. Cadbury’s relaunched version of “Dairy Milk”.

3. Jenson and Nicholson’s full page ad.

5. Advertorial (Reader’s Digest)

6. LG is expensive

4. Subliminal Perception

Occurs when the stimulus is below the level of

the consumer’s awareness.


Stimulus Organisation

• Consumers show a tendency to organise various stimuli into groups and


perceive them as unified whole objects.
• Closure Principle: Consumers tend to perceive an incomplete picture as
complete. E.g., Herohonda ad.
• Principle of Grouping: Consumers tend to group stimuli. E.g., Pepsi has
associated itself with Indian Cricket; Axe effect are best for youth
• Figure-ground Principle: Combo of dominant i.e., figure (message) and
secondary background stimulus i.e., ground (jingle, humour, graphics etc).
E.g., Airtel ad having A R Rahman's music
Principle of Closure

This Land Rover ad illustrates the use of the principle of closure, in which
people participate in the ad by mentally filling in the gaps in the
sentence.
Principle of Grouping

• Proximity
– Seeing 3 pair of lines in A.
• Similarity
– Seeing columns of orange and
red dots in B.
• Continuity
– Seeing lines that connect 1 to
2 and 3 to 4 in C.
• Closure
– Seeing a horse in D.
Figure-ground Principle

This billboard for Wrangler jeans makes creative use of the


figure-ground principle.
MOTIVATION
Motivation

“. . . an inner state of arousal [drive] that


[creates] . . . energy to achieve a goal.”
Consumer Motivation

Meaning: to understand why consumers do what


they do. i.e., why do people buy our product.

Goal of marketing is to satisfy consumer’s needs.


Simple Model of Motivation

NEEDS DRIVES GOALS


(Desires or Wants) (Motives) (Incentives)

Need for Hunger Pizza, Coca-Cola


food & water &
Thirst drives
NEED TYPES

• Primary (Psychological i.e., thirst, hunger and sex)


• Secondary (Acquired i.e., sense of belongingness, status and self-
esteem)
• Consumers may be unaware about secondary needs so symbolism is
attached with brands. E.g., Louis Philip, Park Avenue in apparel,
Mercedes in automobile and Fast Track in watch reflect symbolism.
• Research supports this. For e.g., Liril soap was launched in 70’s after a
research that housewives had a distinctive need for fantasizing. Ad of
Liril captured that- waterfall, freshness (green) & carefree attitude of
model.
Changing Consumer Needs
THEORIES OF MOTIVATION
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs

To earn a PhD / to win gold medal


/ To serve nation as politician
/ to play for country / become a great
musician, actor

Cars / furniture / credit cards


/ luxury products

Superior clothing / clubs


/ entertainment

Insurance / investments /
helmet / seat belt / anti-virus

Basic food / clothing


/ drinks / sex
Need Hierarchy Theory & Marketing

• Marketers should not promise what they cannot deliver or


create unrealistic expectations
• An useful framework for developing advertising appeals.
• Is often used as a basis for market segmentation, with
specific Ad appeals directed to one or more need-segment
levels.
• Works well in developing positioning strategies (to find a
niche – an unsatisfied need).
Appeal to Egoistic Needs
Appeal to Self-
Actualization

Ad for an athletic shoes “converse”


A Trio of Needs (McClelland)

* Affiliation

- to be in the company of other people
- products are consumed in groups (team sports, shopping
malls)

* Achievement

- closely related to egoistic and self-actualization needs
