5. CONSUMER
BEHAVIOR
By gaining insights into the factors that
influence consumer choices, such as
personal preferences, social influences,
cultural norms, and economic factors,
businesses can tailor their marketing
strategies to effectively target and
engage their audience.
7. CONSUMER
BEHAVIOR
It draws on psychological principles to
understand how individual motivations,
perceptions, and attitudes shape
consumer decisions.
8. CONSUMER
BEHAVIOR
Economic theories help explain how
consumers allocate their limited
resources among competing wants and
needs, guiding businesses in pricing
strategies and product positioning.
11. STIMULI
Stimuli: Consumers are exposed to various external
marketing stimuli (ads, promotions) and internal
stimuli (needs, wants). At this stage, factors like
product quality, price, and advertising messages
influence consumer perceptions.
12. BLACK BOX
Black Box: The internal decision-making process of
the consumer is treated as a "black box" – we can't
directly observe their thoughts and feelings. The
black box represents the complex cognitive and
emotional processes that occur within consumers,
affecting their buying decisions.
13. RESPONSE
Response: The outcome of this internal process is a
consumer response, which could be a purchase, a
positive/negative brand perception, or no action at all.
This is the consumers' actual purchase behaviors
based on their internal evaluations.
15. COMPLEX PURCHASING
BEHAVIOR
This type of behavior occurs when consumers are
buying expensive, rarely-purchased items.
In this case, people are deeply involved in the
purchase process, conducting extensive research
before making a significant investment.
Think about purchasing a house or a car; these are
consumer behavior examples of complex buying
behavior.
16. COMPLEX PURCHASING
BEHAVIOR
1. Buying a House
2.Purchasing a High-End Laptop or Computer
3.Choosing a University for Higher Education
4.Selecting a Health Insurance Plan
5.Investing in a New Business Venture
17. DISSONANCE-REDUCING
PURCHASING BEHAVIOR
Dissonance is defined as a lack of harmony. In the
shopping process, this behavior is visible when
consumers struggle to differentiate between brands.
There’s no favorite brand and none of the options is
particularly attractive, so ‘dissonance’ appears as
consumers fear they will regret their decision.
For instance, when buying a lawnmower, you may
select one based on price and convenience. However,
you’ll still seek reassurance about your choice
afterward.
19. HABITUAL PURCHASING
BEHAVIOR
As opposed to the first two behaviors, this one
appears when consumers mindlessly buy something,
with little to no involvement in the product or brand
category.
To illustrate, let’s think of grocery shopping: you visit
the store and buy your preferred type of bread.
You demonstrate zero brand loyalty, as you go for
your preferred taste, no matter the logo on the label.
21. VARIETY-SEEKING
BEHAVIOR
Finally, we have this scenario, where consumers
purchase a different product not because they were
dissatisfied with the previous one, but because they
seek variety.
For example, think of people who order protein or
other supplements. It’s not that they’re not satisfied
with the product in itself; they just got bored of the
same taste and looked for some chocolaty feelings in
their protein shakes.
22. VARIETY-SEEKING
BEHAVIOR
1. Buying Different Flavors of Ice Cream
2.Selecting Various Types of Skin Products
3.Trying New Brands of Energy Drinks
4.Buying Different Scents of Air Fresheners
5.Choosing Various Brands of Cold Drinks
