Learning Objective 1.1
Consumer behavior is a process.
Copyright © 2017, 2015, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All
Rights Reserved.
In the early stages of development, researchers referred to the
field as buyer behavior. Marketers now recognize that consumer
behavior is an ongoing process, not merely what happens at one
point in the transaction cycle. We call the transaction of value
between two or more an exchange. It’s an integral part of
marketing but consumer behavior recognizes that the entire
consumption process is relevant for marketers. Figure 1.1
illustrates these issues.
Consumer behavior is the study of the processes involved when
individuals or groups select, purchase, use, or dispose of
products, services, ideas, or experiences to satisfy needs and
desires. A consumer may purchase, use, and dispose of a
product, but different people may perform these functions. In
addition, we can think of consumers as role players who need
different products to help them play their various parts.

Good marketing is inspired by good insights. Good insights
about customers come from more than just product or service
category or brand behavior—and from more than just
demographics.

Popular Culture
Music
Movies
Sports
Books
Celebrities
Entertainment
Marketers influence preferences for movie and music heroes,
fashions, food, and decorating choices.
Popular culture—the music, movies, sports, books, celebrities,
and other forms of entertainment that the mass market produces
and consumes—is both a product of and an inspiration for
marketers.

We find that consumers may develop relationships with brands
over time. The slide lists some of the types of relationships we
may see between consumers and their brands.
Self-concept attachment means that the product helps to
establish the user’s identity. This was one of our early points in
this chapter.
Nostalgic attachment means the product serves as a link to the
consumer’s past.
Interdependence means that the product is a part of the user’s
daily routine.
Love means that the product elicits emotional bonds of warmth,
passion, or other strong emotion.
18
1-19
Learning Objective 1.4
Our motivations to consume are complex and varied.
Many products help to define our identities. Are you what you
drive?

People often buy products not for what they do but for what
they mean. Products play an extended role in our lives.
Motivation refers to the processes that lead people to behave as
they do. It occurs when a need is aroused that the consumer
wishes to satisfy.
This fascination with a creepy little candy chick illustrates one
of the fundamental premises of the modern field of consumer
behavior: People often buy products not for what they do but for
what they mean. This principle does not imply that a product’s
basic function is unimportant, but rather that the roles products
play in our lives extend well beyond the tasks they perform.
Peeps are marshmallow candies, sold in the United States and
Canada, that are shaped into chicks, bunnies, and other animals.
There are also different shapes used for various holidays. They
have no nutritional value.

Motivation refers to the processes that lead people to behave as
they do. It occurs when a need is aroused that the consumer
wishes to satisfy.
Needs:
utilitarian (i.e., a desire to achieve some functional or practical
benefit)
hedonic (i.e., an experiential need, involving emotional
responses or fantasies).
Goal The desired end state is the consumer’s . Marketers try to
create products and services to provide the desired benefits and
help the consumer to reduce this tension.

100 million users.
About 70 percent of Facebook users are outside the United
States.
Social networks have overtaken porn as the number-one online
activity.
One out of eight couples that married last year met on a social
media site.
80 percent of companies use LinkedIn as their primary
recruiting tool.

user-generated content.
People share more than 1.5 billion pieces of content on
Facebook—every day.
80 percent of Twitter usage is from mobile devices, and 17
percent of users have tweeted while on the toilet.

Subcultures
Social identity is that part of the self that our group
memberships define.
The categories that matter in establishing our consumer identity
are subcultures.
We all belong to many subcultures, depending on our age, race,
ethnic background, and place of residence.

What is Acculturation?
Acculturation occurs, at least in part, with the influence of
acculturation agents.
Family
Friends
Church organizations
Media

Acculturation is the process of movement and adaptation to one
country’s cultural environment by a person from another
country. Acculturation agents are the influences in our
environment which affect the process of transitioning from one
culture to another that contains components of both the old and
new culture. These agents are family and friends, as well as
organizations like churches, and even the media. The agents
may be from the culture of origin or from the culture of
immigration.
6
The Progressive Learning Model
Assumes that people gradually learn a new culture as they
increasingly come into contact with it
When people acculturate they will blend their original culture
and the new one
Consumers who retain much of their original ethnic identity
differ from those who assimilate

Is Ethnicity a Moving Target?
Defining/targeting an ethnic group is not always so easy
(“melting pot” society)
Deethnicization occurs when a product we associate with a
specific ethnic group detaches itself from its roots and appeals
to other groups

Ethnic and Racial Subcultures
An ethnic subculture is a self-perpetuating group of consumers
who share common cultural or genetic ties where both its
members and others recognize it as a distinct category.
In countries like Japan, ethnicity is synonymous with the
dominant culture because most citizens claim the same cultural
ties.

Learning Objectives (1 of 3)
9.1 The three categories of consumer decision-making are
cognitive, habitual, and affective.
9.2 A cognitive purchase decision is the outcome of a series of
stages that results in the selection of one product over
competing options.
9.3 The way information about a product choice is framed can
prime a decision even when the consumer is unaware of this
influence.
9.4 We often fall back on well-learned “rules-of-thumb” to
make decisions.
2
Learning Objectives (2 of 3)
9.5 Marketers often need to understand consumers’ behavior
rather than a consumer’s behavior.
9.6 The decision-making process differs when people choose
what to buy on behalf of an organization rather than for
personal use.
9.7 Members of a family unit play different roles and have
different amounts of influence when the family makes purchase
decisions.

33
Organizational Decision Making
Organizational buyers: purchase goods and services on behalf of
companies for use in the process of manufacturing, distribution,
or resale.
Business-to-business (B2B) marketers: specialize in meeting
needs of organizations such as corporations, government
agencies, hospitals, and retailers.
34
Compared to Consumer Decision Making, Organizational
Decision Making…
Involves many people
Requires precise, technical specifications
Is based on past experience and careful weighing of alternatives
May require risky decisions
Involves substantial dollar volume
Places more emphasis on personal selling
35
What Influences Organizational Buyers?
The buyclass theory of purchasing divides organizational
buying decisions into 3 types:

Sensation and Perception
Sensation refers to the immediate response of our sensory
receptors (eyes, ears, nose, mouth, fingers, skin) to basic
stimuli such as light, color, sound, odor, and texture.
Perception is the process by which people select, organize, and
interpret these sensations. The study of perception, then,
focuses on what we add to these raw sensations in order to give
them meaning.

Subliminal advertising
Subliminal perception refers to a stimulus below the level of the
consumer’s awareness.
Some research by clinical psychologists suggests that
subliminal messages can influence people under very specific
conditions, though it is doubtful that these techniques would be
of much use in most marketing contexts.

The field of semiotics helps us to understand how marketers use
symbols to create meaning
5-32
Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as
Prentice Hall
To help them understand how consumers interpret the meanings
of symbols, some marketers turn to semiotics. Semiotics is the
study of correspondence between signs and symbols and their
roles in how we assign meanings. This figure illustrates the
meaning of the three semiotic parts of a marketing message: 1)
the object, 2) the sign, and 3) the interpretant. For Marlboro
cigarettes, the cigarettes are the product. The symbol is the
cowboy which can be interpreted to mean rugged American.
What is the relationship between signs and marketing
communications? Why do certain symbols and icons work more
effectively in reaching consumers than others?
Semiotics: The study of signs and symbols as elements of
communicative behavior. This also includes the analysis of the
systems of communication, as language, gestures, or clothing.

Chapter Summary
The design of a product affects our perception of it.
Products and messages may appeal to our senses.
Perception is a three-stage process that translates raw stimuli
into meaning.
Subliminal advertising is controversial.
We interpret stimuli using learned patterns.
Marketers use symbols to create meaning.
We’ve covered several key concepts in this chapter including
perception, our perception is affected by our senses, subliminal
advertising, and the factors which affect how we process
symbols.

9.1 The three categories of consumer decision-making are
cognitive, habitual, and affective.
9.2 A cognitive purchase decision is the outcome of a series of
stages that results in the selection of one product over
competing options.
9.3 The way information about a product choice is framed can
prime a decision even when the consumer is unaware of this
influence.
9.4 We often fall back on well-learned “rules-of-thumb” to
make decisions.

response on its own.
Instrumental conditioning (also, operant conditioning): the
individual learns to perform behaviors that produce positive
outcomes and to avoid those that yield negative outcomes.

stored in nodes
Connectors are called associative links (vary in strength)
When a concept is activated the resulting energy spreads
through associative links to related concepts (nodes) further
away from the original concept

nature and power of attitudes.
8.2 Attitudes are more complex than they first appear.
8.3 We form attitudes in several ways.
8.4 A need to maintain consistency among all of our attitudinal
components motivates us to alter one or more of them.

15
Attitude Commitment
Internalization
Highest level: deep-seeded attitudes become part of consumer’s
value system
Identification
Mid-level: attitudes formed in order to conform to another
person or group
Compliance
Lowest level: consumer forms attitude because it gains rewards
or avoids punishments

A need to maintain consistency among all of our attitudinal
components often motivates us to alter one or more of them.
Copyright © 2017, 2015, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All

17
Consistency Principle
We value/seek harmony among thoughts, feelings, and
behaviors
We will change components to make them consistent
Relates to the theory of cognitive dissonance – we take action to
resolve dissonance when our attitudes and behaviors are
inconsistent

18
Cognitive Dissonance in Marketing
Buyer’s Remorse
If product not as good as hoped, discrepancy between behavior
(bought product) and attitude (no good).
To resolve discrepancy, consumer can:
(a) Stop purchasing product, or
(b) Change attitude and decide product is fine (focus on
positives, minimize negatives, etc.)
How can managers make (b) happen instead of (a)?
Send “congratulatory” mailings
Include promotional materials in the package

Dave Thomas), familiar (a well known infomercial host), or
high in social status (celebrities and professional athletes)
Sources can also be attractive because they are similar to us and
we feel that we can relate to them

The elaboration likelihood model, known as the ELM, assumes
that under conditions of high involvement, we will take the
central route to persuasion, but under conditions of low
involvement, we will take a peripheral route. The central route
is focused on the consumer’s cognitive response to the message.
The peripheral route focuses on other cues to decide how to
react to the message.

ways.
People try to maintain consistency among their attitudinal
components and their attitudes and behaviors.
The communications model includes several important
components which can be influenced by marketers to enhance
the persuasiveness of the message.

9.1 The three categories of consumer decision-making are
cognitive, habitual, and affective.
9.2 A cognitive purchase decision is the outcome of a series of
stages that results in the selection of one product over
competing options.
9.3 The way information about a product choice is framed can
prime a decision even when the consumer is unaware of this
influence.
9.4 We often fall back on well-learned “rules-of-thumb” to
make decisions.

Learning Objective 9.6
The decision-making process differs when people choose what
to buy on behalf of an organization rather than for personal use.
33
Organizational Decision Making
Organizational buyers: purchase goods and services on behalf of
companies for use in the process of manufacturing, distribution,
or resale.
Business-to-business (B2B) marketers: specialize in meeting
needs of organizations such as corporations, government
agencies, hospitals, and retailers.
34
Compared to Consumer Decision Making, Organizational
Decision Making…
Involves many people
Requires precise, technical specifications
Is based on past experience and careful weighing of alternatives
May require risky decisions
Involves substantial dollar volume
Places more emphasis on personal selling
35
What Influences Organizational Buyers?
The buyclass theory of purchasing divides organizational
buying decisions into 3 types:
Level of information required
Seriousness of decision
Familiarity with purchase
36
Buying Decisions
Buyclass theory: organizational buying decisions divided into
three types, ranging from most to least complex.

All Rights Reserved. In the early stages of development, researchers referred to the field as buyer behavior. Marketers now recognize that consumer behavior is an ongoing process, not merely what happens at one point in the transaction cycle. We call the transaction of value between two or more an exchange. It’s an integral part of marketing but consumer behavior recognizes that the entire consumption process is relevant for marketers. Figure 1.1 illustrates these issues. Consumer behavior is the study of the processes involved when individuals or groups select, purchase, use, or dispose of products, services, ideas, or experiences to satisfy needs and desires. A consumer may purchase, use, and dispose of a product, but different people may perform these functions. In addition, we can think of consumers as role players who need different products to help them play their various parts. 3 What Is Consumer Behavior?

We find that consumers may develop relationships with brands over time. The slide lists some of the types of relationships we may see between consumers and their brands. Self-concept attachment means that the product helps to establish the user’s identity. This was one of our early points in this chapter. Nostalgic attachment means the product serves as a link to the consumer’s past. Interdependence means that the product is a part of the user’s daily routine. Love means that the product elicits emotional bonds of warmth, passion, or other strong emotion. 18 1-19
  • 9. Learning Objective 1.4 Our motivations to consume are complex and varied. Many products help to define our identities. Are you what you drive? Copyright © 2017, 2015, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 19 People often buy products not for what they do but for what they mean. Products play an extended role in our lives. Motivation refers to the processes that lead people to behave as they do. It occurs when a need is aroused that the consumer wishes to satisfy. This fascination with a creepy little candy chick illustrates one of the fundamental premises of the modern field of consumer behavior: People often buy products not for what they do but for what they mean. This principle does not imply that a product’s basic function is unimportant, but rather that the roles products play in our lives extend well beyond the tasks they perform. Peeps are marshmallow candies, sold in the United States and Canada, that are shaped into chicks, bunnies, and other animals. There are also different shapes used for various holidays. They have no nutritional value. Motivation and Goals 1-20 Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall Motivation refers to the processes that lead people to behave as they do. It occurs when a need is aroused that the consumer
  • 10. wishes to satisfy. Needs: utilitarian (i.e., a desire to achieve some functional or practical benefit) hedonic (i.e., an experiential need, involving emotional responses or fantasies). Goal The desired end state is the consumer’s . Marketers try to create products and services to provide the desired benefits and help the consumer to reduce this tension.

One out of eight couples that married last year met on a social media site. 80 percent of companies use LinkedIn as their primary recruiting tool. 25 percent of search results for the world’s top 10 brands are to user-generated content. People share more than 1.5 billion pieces of content on Facebook—every day. 80 percent of Twitter usage is from mobile devices, and 17 percent of users have tweeted while on the toilet. 1-22 Copyright © 2017, 2015, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 22 Chapter Summary Consumer behavior is a process. Marketers have to understand the wants and needs of different consumer segments. Our choices as consumers relate in powerful ways to the rest of our lives. Our motivations to consume are complex and varied. Technology and culture create a new “always on” consumer. Many different types of specialists study consumer behavior. There are differing perspectives regarding how and what we should understand about consumer behavior.

Acculturation is the process of movement and adaptation to one country’s cultural environment by a person from another country. Acculturation agents are the influences in our environment which affect the process of transitioning from one culture to another that contains components of both the old and new culture. These agents are family and friends, as well as organizations like churches, and even the media. The agents may be from the culture of origin or from the culture of immigration. 6 The Progressive Learning Model

  • 68. To help them understand how consumers interpret the meanings of symbols, some marketers turn to semiotics. Semiotics is the study of correspondence between signs and symbols and their roles in how we assign meanings. This figure illustrates the meaning of the three semiotic parts of a marketing message: 1) the object, 2) the sign, and 3) the interpretant. For Marlboro cigarettes, the cigarettes are the product. The symbol is the cowboy which can be interpreted to mean rugged American. What is the relationship between signs and marketing communications? Why do certain symbols and icons work more effectively in reaching consumers than others? Semiotics: The study of signs and symbols as elements of communicative behavior. This also includes the analysis of the systems of communication, as language, gestures, or clothing. 32 Hyperreality 5-33 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall

The elaboration likelihood model, known as the ELM, assumes that under conditions of high involvement, we will take the central route to persuasion, but under conditions of low involvement, we will take a peripheral route. The central route is focused on the consumer’s cognitive response to the message. The peripheral route focuses on other cues to decide how to react to the message. 45 Chapter Summary (1 of 3) Attitudes are very powerful, and they are formed in several ways. People try to maintain consistency among their attitudinal components and their attitudes and behaviors. The communications model includes several important components which can be influenced by marketers to enhance the persuasiveness of the message. Copyright © 2017, 2015, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
