Information for marketing professionals on the importance of consumer behavior and the influences it has on their decision-making when purchasing a product or service.
This document provides an overview of problem recognition and information search in consumer decision making. It discusses that problem recognition occurs when a consumer perceives a discrepancy between their actual and ideal state. This can activate an internal search of memory or an external search of the environment for more information. The document then examines the types of internal and external searches consumers engage in, what information is retrieved from each, and limitations like confirmation bias, information overload, and the costs and benefits of acquiring more information.
This document outlines the consumer decision making process, which includes problem recognition, information search, alternative evaluation, decision, and post-decision evaluation. It discusses three types of problem solving variations - extended, routine, and limited problem solving. It also covers internal and external information search, evaluative criteria, decision rules, and factors that influence the decision making process like situational influences and low effort heuristics.
How do consumers make purchasing decisionsSameer Mathur
This document outlines the consumer decision making process, which includes problem recognition, information search, evaluation of alternatives, purchase decisions, and post-purchase behavior. It discusses key aspects of each step, such as internal and external triggers for problem recognition, active information search from various sources, attributes and benefits considered during evaluation, and heuristics like conjunctive or elimination used in purchase decisions. Risks and opinions of others can also influence decisions. Post-purchase satisfaction, use, and actions determine repeat purchases and recommendations.
Ruchika Kulshrestha defines consumer decision making as a process of gathering and evaluating information to select the best option to solve a problem or make a purchase choice. The consumer decision making process involves several steps: recognizing a problem or need, searching for information to address the need, evaluating alternatives, making a purchase decision, and evaluating the post-purchase experience. Key factors that influence the process include involvement level, attitudes, external stimuli, and feedback from other customers.
The document discusses consumer buying behavior and the factors that influence it. It describes the consumer decision making process, which involves need recognition, information search, evaluation of alternatives, purchase decision, and post-purchase behavior. It identifies cultural, social, personal, and psychological characteristics that affect consumer behavior and discusses models of consumer types. The stages of adoption for new products and influences on their adoption rate are also summarized.
The document outlines a 5-stage model of the consumer buying decision process:
1. Problem recognition - needs are triggered by internal or external stimuli
2. Information search - consumers gather information from personal, commercial, public, and experimental sources
3. Evaluation of alternatives - consumers evaluate products and form preferences among brands based on attributes and perceived value
4. Purchase decision - final decision can be influenced by attitudes of others and unanticipated situational factors
5. Post-purchase behavior - consumers may experience satisfaction, dissatisfaction or disposal after their purchase
Consumer behavior is the study of how, why, when, and where people buy products. It draws from psychology, sociology, anthropology, and economics to understand individual and group decision making. Factors like culture, social class, motivation, learning, and attitudes influence the consumer decision process of need recognition, information search, alternative evaluation, purchase, and post-purchase evaluation. Understanding consumer behavior helps firms improve marketing efforts to better satisfy consumer needs.
1) After making a purchase, consumers may experience post-purchase dissonance or doubts about their decision. They will seek information to justify their choice and reduce these doubts.
2) Most purchases are followed by product use. How the product is used and disposed of is evaluated by the consumer. Satisfaction depends on whether expectations are met or exceeded by the product's performance.
3) Post-purchase actions include repeat purchases, brand switching, or discontinuing use, depending on the consumer's level of satisfaction. Marketers should monitor post-purchase behavior and satisfaction to improve products, marketing, and customer retention.

This document outlines the five stages of the consumer buying decision process: problem recognition, information search, evaluation of alternatives, purchase decision, and post-purchase decision. It describes each stage in detail, including how needs are triggered, the major information sources used in the search stage, and how satisfaction or dissatisfaction with a purchase can impact future purchase decisions and recommendations to others. The evaluation stage considers how judgments are made consciously and attributes are assessed based on beliefs. The post-purchase stages examine satisfaction levels, potential actions like repeat purchases or warnings to others, and product usage over time.
This document reports on a study of consumer decision processes in buying behavior. The objectives were to define consumer roles, understand the consumer buying decision process, and examine how consumer behavior changes with the environment. The study found that consumers go through problem recognition, information search, evaluation of alternatives, purchase, and post-purchase evaluation. It identified common factors influencing brand and store choice like price, location, and promotions. The research helped define consumer roles and provided insight into how their decisions and behaviors change.
The document outlines the 5 stages of the consumer buying process:
1) Need recognition - the consumer becomes aware of a problem or need.
2) Information search - the consumer searches for information internally and externally to learn about possible alternatives.
3) Evaluation of alternatives - the consumer evaluates the different alternatives based on attributes and decides on a preferred choice.
4) Purchase decision - the consumer decides on a specific product, brand, store, and purchase method.
5) Post-purchase evaluation - after the purchase, the consumer evaluates satisfaction with their decision and the product.
The document discusses the consumer decision-making process of evaluating alternatives. It is the third step where consumers compare different solutions to a problem by looking at attributes such as performance, design, price and value for computers. Consumers will evaluate each brand based on these attributes and form beliefs about how each brand rates. They may consult others or salespeople for information. Consumers will compare brands in their consideration set based on relevant criteria to make their choice. Common criteria include country of origin, price, and brand reputation. Consumers may use decision heuristics or rules of thumb to make choices quickly.
This document outlines a five stage model of consumer decision making: 1) need recognition triggered by internal or external stimuli, 2) information search through heightened attention or active searching from various sources, 3) evaluation of alternatives using expectancy value models and considering brand beliefs and importance of attributes, 4) purchase decision using heuristics like conjunctive or lexicographic rules, 5) post-purchase behavior and evaluation. The model seeks to explain how consumers identify needs, gather information, and make purchase decisions.
The document discusses the five-stage buying process model, which includes the stages of problem recognition, information search, evaluation of alternatives, purchase decision, and postpurchase behavior. It then applies this model specifically to the process of purchasing sustainable seafood. The five stages are outlined for both the general buying process and how each stage would apply when buying sustainable seafood.

Buying behavior can vary based on location, individual, and type of product. Complex buying behavior occurs when multiple people are involved in the purchasing decision and more deliberation is required. Consumers exhibit complex buying when highly involved in an expensive, infrequent, or risky purchase where brands differ significantly. Variety-seeking behavior involves low involvement but differences between brands, so consumers try different options. The five stages of the buying decision process are need recognition, information search, evaluation of alternatives, purchase decision, and post-purchase evaluation, but some stages may be skipped for routine purchases.
The document discusses different levels of consumer decision making including extensive problem solving, limited problem solving, and routinized response behavior. It also summarizes different models of consumer decision making including the economic, passive, cognitive, and emotional views. Additionally, it outlines the three main stages of consumer decision making - need recognition, prepurchase search, and evaluation of alternatives.
The document discusses the consumer decision making process for online purchases. It outlines the typical stages consumers go through - problem recognition, information search, evaluation of alternatives, product choice, and post-purchase evaluation. Marketers attempt to influence each stage, especially for high involvement products. Information search online provides centralized information but lacks human interaction. Evaluating alternatives depends on involvement level and decision rules used. Journal articles examine purchasing cars and music online, the role of trust in online intentions, and risks of innovative services like internet banking.
Task: Define extensive problem solving, limited problem solving, and routinized response behaviour. What are the differences among the three decision-making approaches? What type of decision process would you expect most consumers to follow in their first purchase of a new product or brand in each of the following areas: (a) chewing gum, (b) sugar, (c) men’s aftershave lotion, (d) carpeting, (e) paper towels, (f) a cellular telephone, and (g) a luxury car?

BB Chapter Seven : Post Purchase Processes, Customer Satisfaction and LoyaltyBBAdvisor
The document discusses post-purchase processes, customer satisfaction, and consumer loyalty. It covers topics like post-purchase dissonance, product use and non-use, product disposal, purchase evaluation, customer satisfaction, and repeat purchase behavior. The key aspects of each topic are explained through examples and frameworks. Customer satisfaction is influenced by expectations, perceived performance across instrumental, symbolic, and affective dimensions. Dissatisfaction can lead to actions like taking no action, switching brands, or warning others.
This document defines consumer buying behaviour and identifies different types. It discusses routine response behaviour, limited decision making, extensive decision making, and impulse buying. Routine response behaviour involves automatically purchasing frequently bought, low cost, and low risk items like bread and milk. Limited decision making requires some information gathering for occasional purchases of unfamiliar brands in familiar categories. Extensive decision making is the most complex type and involves expensive, high risk, infrequently purchased items where multiple brands are researched like cars and homes. Impulse buying involves no planning and an immediate urge to purchase that may provoke emotional conflict, for example confectionery near checkouts.
1. The document discusses key aspects of understanding consumer behavior such as identifying important customer segments, their purchase criteria, and how they buy products.
2. It outlines factors that influence consumer behavior like cultural, social, personal characteristics and introduces concepts like brand personality, reference groups, and consumer buying roles.
3. The consumer buying process is summarized involving need recognition, information search, evaluation of alternatives, purchase decision and post-purchase behavior. Market segmentation strategies are also covered.
There are four main types of buying decision behavior:
1. Complex buying behavior involves high consumer involvement and significant brand differences for expensive, infrequent, or risky purchases like computers, TVs, or appliances.
2. Variety seeking behavior has low involvement but brand switching for variety with products like chips, soap, or ice cream.
3. Dissonance reducing behavior has high involvement for expensive items with little brand differences, causing post-purchase anxiety over alternative products.
4. Habitual behavior has low involvement and brand indifference for frequent, small purchases like milk, bread, or matches.
This chapter discusses problem recognition, which is an important stage of consumer decision making. It begins by describing the nature of problem recognition as arising from a gap between a desired and actual state. It then covers different types of consumer decisions like habitual, limited, and extended decision making that are influenced by purchase involvement. The chapter also discusses factors that influence problem recognition, both marketing and non-marketing factors. Finally, it outlines different marketing strategies related to problem recognition, such as discovering consumer problems, responding to problems, and helping or suppressing problem recognition.

There are several types of buying-decision behavior:
1. Complex buying behavior occurs when purchases are expensive, risky, infrequent, and important, requiring consumers to learn about attributes. Examples include laptops and mobile phones.
2. Dissonance reducing behavior happens when involvement is high due to price and infrequency, but differences between brands are small, so consumers choose easily available options and may experience post-purchase dissonance.
3. Variety seeking behavior has low involvement but significant brand differences, so consumers perceive brand switching for variety, like choosing different chip brands each time.
4. Habitual behavior has low involvement and insignificant brand differences, so consumers purchase habitually without consideration, like matches or

Some of the main factors that influence consumer and business purchasing behaviors include culture, social class, personal characteristics, beliefs, attitudes, product perceptions, and group influences. The document also compares the buying processes for complex versus routine purchases.
Without an understanding of consumers, how they think, and the reasons for how they behave, it is very difficult for a business to give them exactly what they want.
The study of consumer behaviour improves decision-making as some of the guesswork is removed.
Through a better understanding of consumer behaviour, businesses can make better choices with their marketing to attract more of their target customers.
What is Consumer Behaviour?
Consumer behaviour is the study of consumption. It aims to have a better understanding of consumer actions and processes used in their purchase decisions, as well as the usage of products and services and how they are disposed of.
Exploring how the consumer’s emotions, attitudes and preferences affect buying behaviour, consumer behaviour draws upon ideas from several fields including psychology, sociology, anthropology, biology, marketing and economics.
An underlying motivation drives a consumer to act and purchase. These motivations fit under the problem recognition phase discussed above.
This motivation can be either positive or negative. A positive motivation could be a pleasure – having dinner a nice restaurant or a night on the town. A negative motivation could be the avoidance of unpleasantness such as purchasing toothpaste to minimise tooth decay, getting toothaches and having to visit a dentist.

The document outlines the consumer decision-making process, which includes:
1) Need recognition, where consumers recognize a problem and seek to fulfill needs;
2) Information search, both internally from memory and externally from sources like friends;
3) Evaluation of alternatives, where consumers evaluate options based on attributes;
4) Purchase, which can be influenced by in-store factors; and
5) Consumption and post-consumption evaluation, where satisfaction is determined by expectations.
Consumer behaviour can be described as a person's decision-making process behind buying a product and the influences that lead to the purchase. Marketers must understand the buyer decision process which includes problem recognition, information search, alternative evaluation, purchase decision, and post-purchase evaluation. They also need to understand the target market, area of operation, consumer culture, and social factors. Consumer behaviour is influenced by celebrities/social media, culture, personal circle, and falls into three categories: routine, limited, or extensive involvement. Understanding all aspects of consumer behaviour benefits both firms and consumers.

2. "The study of individuals, groups, or organizations and
all the activities associated with the purchase, use and
disposal of goods and services."
-Wikipedia
The preferences of the consumer directly influence their
buying behavior and decision process.
CONSUMER BEHAVIOR
3. BEHAVIOR INFLUENCES
Some of the factors that can influence what a consumer buys
and how the consumer decides to make a purchase are
Social- family, culture, social media
Marketing Mix- product, place, promotion, and price
Psychological- attitudes, motives, perceptions, lifestyle,
intelligence
Situational- specific purchase situation, sensory situation
or time of day
4. CONSUMER INVOLVEMENT
Effort used and level of consumer engagement in the
decision process is impacted by the 3 levels of
consumer involvement.
ROUTINE (low): relying on habit and/or impulse, not
commonly using alternative evaluation
LIMITED (medium): mediocre effort and less reliant on
habitual purchasing
EXTENSIVE (high): major effort and problem-solving skills
used, common in high-risk purchase decisions
5. Step 1
• Need Recognition
Step 2
• Search for information
Step 3
• Evaluation of Alternatives
Step 4
• Purchase
and Consumption
Step 5
• Post-purchase
CONSUMER BUYING BEHAVIOR
The Decision Process
6. Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a popular
model depicting the different needs for an
individual.
He believed that you should satisfy needs
on the lower level before satisfying the
higher levels.
STEP 1: NEED RECOGNITION
Identifying a need and desire to satisfy this need
7. STEP 2:
INFORMATION SEARCH
Search of options available to buy in hopes to satisfy need
Internal search: using personal memory and
knowledge about the product or service gathered
through past experiences.
External search: gathering information outside of
personal knowledge by talking to friends, family, or
salesperson, reading commercial media, like Consumer
Reports or utilizing an online search engine like
Google or Bing.
Perception of risk involved with the purchase directly impacts the level of effort a
consumer will use to search and evaluate options.
Lack of control, for example an immediate need or lack of search options
available also impacts effort given.
8. STEP 3:
ALTERNATIVE EVALUTATION
Evaluating the available options and alternatives to satisfy need
Attribute sets are the evaluative criteria the consumer uses
to decide what purchase option is best.
Universal- all possible choices
Retrieval- memory of previous choices
Evoked- influenced or considered choices
Effective marketing will position a product into the evoked set
9. STEP 4:
PURCHASE AND CONSUMPTION
Note: The consumer may purchase online or in-store
Customers make the best purchase and use/consume the product
10. STEP 5:
POSTPURCHASE
Consumer changes from potential to actual customer
Did the product satisfy the need?
Will the consumer repurchase this item?
Consumers decide if they are satisfied with their
purchase, or suffer from post-purchase dissonance,
commonly known as buyer's remorse.
If the consumer is satisfied, they are more likely
to keep their product, and repeat business with the
merchant.
