The document discusses consumer behavior in services across three stages: pre-purchase, service encounter, and post-encounter. In the pre-purchase stage, consumers go through need recognition, information search, and evaluation of alternatives. During the service encounter stage, consumers interact directly with the service provider. In the post-encounter stage, consumers evaluate the service experience and determine their satisfaction level based on whether expectations were met or exceeded. Understanding these three stages of consumer behavior is important for service organizations to create satisfying customer experiences.

Waiting Line Strategies
Most waiting lines work on the principle of first come, first served. Customers tend to expect this—it's only fair, after all. In many cultures (but not all), people get very resentful if they see later arrivals being served ahead of them for no obvious reason.

CONSUMER BUYING BEHAVIOUR - INTRODUCTION TO MARKETINGAgaineSandra1
Consumer markets are constantly changing, and marketers must understand new and emerging contexts to succeed
Widespread adoption of digital technologies has created a global consumer culture that affects local lifestyles and behaviors
Global consumer culture shapes cultural values and can significantly influence how individuals respond to marketing activities
Marketers need to understand both local and global nuances of a market and identify aspects that may impact consumer behavior
Retail Shopper Behaviour, process of consumer buying in retail, Need recognition, stimulating need recognition, information search, types of buying decision
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.

2. Understanding customer behavior lies at the
heart of marketing. We need to understand how
people make decisions about buying and using
service and what determines their satisfaction
with it after consumption. Without
understanding, no organization can hope to
create and deliver services that will result in
satisfied customers.

3. Three-Stage Model of Service
Consumption
SERVICE CONSUMPTION
1. pre purchase
2. service encounter
3. post encounter

Service consumption Key Concepts
1. PRE-PURCHASE Stage
-awareness of need
-information search
*Clarify Needs
*Explore solutions
* Identify alternative
service products and
suppliers
Evaluation of Alternatives
(solutions and suppliers)
•Review Supplier
Information ( Advertising,
brochures, websites)
Need Arousal
Evoked Set
Search, Experience, and
credence attributes
Perceived Risk
5. Pre Purchase
1. Awareness of need
2. Information search
3. Evaluation of alternatives
4. Making a purchase decision
6. Need Awareness
• The decision to buy or use a service is
triggered by a person’s or organization’s
underlying need or need arousal.
• It will drive an information search and
evaluation of alternatives before a decision is
reach.
7. Needs may triggered by:
• Unconscious minds (personal identity and
aspirations)
• Physical Conditions (hunger needs that lead
you to ate Pam’s)
• External sources (a service firm’s marketing
activites)
01/02/18
8. • When need is recognized, people are likely to
take action to resolve it.
• The need for a hairstylist was triggered by
remembering that you have a date later this
week.
• Needs have become very exciting and in
greater value
VACATIONS, ENTERTAINMENT, OTHER
SERVICE EXPERIENCES.
9. The shift in Consumer Behavior and
attitudes provide opportunities
for service providers.
• Increased interests in extreme sports.
• Adventures in nature
• New experiences beyond imagination.
01/02/18
10. Information Search
• Once a need or a problem is recognized,
customers are motivated to search for
solutions to satisfy the need.
• Hiring someone to cut down dying tree in
their lawn instead of doing it yourself using a
chainsaw.
• Choosing between going out in theater with
your bf or just downloading the film via
internet and watch it at home..(ayeeee)
11. Several Alternatives
• EVOKED SET (considerations)
– The set of products or brands a customer may
consider in the decision-making process.
– When you see a long line in the counter of mcdo,
you will settle for a second choice as evoked set,
you just went to siomai house.
– Evoked set can be derived from past experience or
external sources (advertising, retail displays, news
stories, online searches, and recommendations)
01/02/18
12. Evaluating Alternatives
• SERVICE ATTRIBUTES- Customers need to
compare and evaluate the different service
offerings.
• Service Attributes are tangible characteristics
customers can evaluate before purchase.
• Style, color, texture, taste, and sound are
examples of such features that allow
prospective consumers to try out, taste, or
“test drive” the product prior to purchase
13. • Clothing, furnitures, cars, electronic
equipment, and foods are among the
manufactured products high in search
attributes.
• Service attributes are found in many services
too. (for restaurants- Fine Dining, Casual,
Family-friendly)
14. • Experience Attributes- are those that cannot
be evaluated before purchase. Customers
must “experience” the service before they can
assess attributes such as reliability, ease of
use, and customer support.
• In restaurant- you won’t know how much you
actually like the food, the service provided by
your waiter, and the atmosphere in the
restaurant until you are actually consuming
the service.
15. • Credence Attributes
– Product characteristics that customers find hard
to evaluate after consumption are known as
credence attributes.
– The customer is forced to believe or trust that
certain tasks have been performed at the
promised level of quality.
– Hygiene conditions of the kitchen and the
healthiness of the cooking ingredients.
16. Credence Attributes
• Examples
• It is not easy for the customers to determine
the quality of repair and maintenance work
performed on a car, or cellphone or any
gadgets.
• Patients cant usually evaluate how well their
dentists have performed complex dental
procedures.
01/02/18
17. Credence Attributes
• People seek such services precisely because
they lack the necessary training and expertise
in themselves
– Counseling, surgery, legal advice, and consulting
services
• It is only a matter of having confidence in
provider’s skills and professionalism.

difficult to evaluate before purchase and
consumption, and first-time users are likely to
face greater uncertainty.
20. • Think about how you felt the first time you
had to make decision about an unfamiliar
service, buying a health insurance or choosing
a college. It is likely that you are worried
about the probability of a negative outcome.

likely it is to occur, the higher the perception
of risk.

completed before our friends come to stay with

possessions)

– will the contents of this package get damaged in
the mail?
– Will I fall sick if travel abroad on vacation?

– Will the consultant make me feel stupid?
