The Nicosia Model of Consumer Behaviour describes a circular flow of influences between a firm's marketing activities, a consumer's psychological attributes and decision-making process, and their experience using a product. It contains four major components: 1) a firm's attributes, communications and a consumer's psychological attributes 2) a consumer's search and evaluation of alternatives 3) their motivated purchase act and 4) storage or use of the product. Fair & Lovely is a skin lightening cream that aims to influence consumers' psychological attributes and motivate their purchase through marketing communications about its skin lightening benefits.
