Information Search
An internal search involves the
scanning of one's memory to recall previous
experiences or knowledge concerning
solutions to the problem-- often sufficient for
frequently purchased products.
An external search may be necessary
when past experience or knowledge is
insufficient, the risk of making a wrong
purchase decision is high, and/or the cost of
gathering information is low.
Personal sources
(friends and family)
Public sources (rating
services like Consumer
Reports)
Marketer-dominated
sources (advertising
or sales people)
The evoked set: a group of
brands from which the buyer can
choose

A successful information search leaves a buyer with possible
alternatives, the evoked set (A group of brands that a consumer is both aware
of and willing to consider as a solution to a purchase)

Evaluation of alternatives
1. Consumer sees each product as a bundle of attributes
with varying abilities for delivering the benefits.
2. Rank/weight attributes for each alternative. Assign
percentage of importance.
3. Calculate Customer Values (CV) for each alternative.
4. If not satisfied with your choice then return to the search phase.

Consumer decision making
varies with the level of involvement in the
purchasing decision
• Extensive: problem solving occurs when
buyers purchase more expensive, less
frequently purchased products in an
unfamiliar product category requiring
information search & evaluation; may
experience cognitive dissonance.
• Limited: problem solving occurs when buyers are
confronted with an unfamiliar brand in a familiar product
category
• Routine: response behavior occurs
when buyers purchase low cost, low risk, brand loyal,
frequently purchased, low personal identification or
relevance, items with which they are familiar.

• Interest: high involvement
• Perceived risk of negative consequences: high involvement
• Situation: low to high due to risk
• Social visibility: involvement increases with product visibility
• Offer extensive information on high involvement products
• In-store promotion & placement is important for low involvement products
• Linking low-involvement product to high-involvement issue can increase sales

Sour Grapes–
a story of
cognitive
dissonance
…after being unable to reach the grapes the fox said, “these
grapes are probably sour, and if I had them I would not eat
them.”
--Aesop
Consumer Behavior Consumer Decision Making Process

Cognitive Dissonance
• psychological discomfort caused by inconsistencies
among a person’s beliefs, attitudes, and actions
• varies in intensity based on importance of issue and
degree of inconsistency
• induces a “drive state” to avoid or reduce dissonance
by changing beliefs, attitudes, or behaviors and
thereby restore consistency
Tendency to avoid information can be countered by eliciting interest,
norm of fairness, or perceive usefulness of information
Post-decision “buyer’s remorse” may be increased by importance or difficulty
or irreversibility of decision
Counter-attitudinal action, freely chosen with little incentive or
justification, leads to attitude change (e.g., new product at special low
price)
