The document discusses the five stages of consumer buying behavior according to Kotler:
1) Need recognition - Advertisements try to convince consumers something is wrong and using their product will fix it.
2) Information search - Consumers search internally and externally for information about products.
3) Evaluation of alternatives - Consumers process information to choose between brands like iPhone and Nexus One.
4) Purchase decision - Consumers decide to buy and then purchase a product.
5) Post-purchase behavior - Consumers experience the product and provide feedback to marketers.

ENLIGHTENED CARMAKERS KNOW WHAT CUSTOM(H)ERS VALUE
Who makes 60 percent of new-car buying decisions? Who influences 80 percent of new-car buying decisions? Women. Yes, women.
Women are a driving force in the U.S. automobile industry. Enlightened carmakers have hired women designers, engineers, and marketing executives to better understand and satisfy this valuable car buyer and influencer. What have they learned? While car price and quality are important, women and men think and feel differently about car features and key elements of the new-car buying decision process and experience.
•The sense of styling. Women and men care about styling. For men, styling is more about a car’s exterior lines and accents or “curb appeal.” Women are more interested in interior design and finishes. Designs that fit their proportions, provide good visibility, offer ample storage space, and make for effortless parking are particularly important.
•The need for speed. Both sexes want speed, but for different reasons. Men think about how many seconds it takes to get from zero to 60 miles per hour. Women want to feel secure that the car has enough acceleration to outrun an 18-wheeler trying to pass them on a freeway entrance ramp.
•The substance of safety. Safety for men is about features that help avoid an accident, such as antilock brakes and responsive steering. For women, safety is about features that help to survive an accident. These features include passenger airbags and reinforced side panels.
•The shopping experience. The new-car-buying experience differs between men and women in important ways. Generally, men decide up front what car they want and set out alone to find it. By contrast, women approach it as an intelligence-gathering expedition. Referred to as CROPing, women shoppers look for CRedible OPinions. They actively seek information and postpone a purchase decision until all options have been evaluated. Women, more frequently than men, visit auto-buying websites, read car-comparison articles, and scan car advertisements. Still, recommendations of friends and relatives matter most to women. Women typically shop three dealerships before making a purchase decision—one more than men.
Page 111
Carmakers have learned that women, more than men, dislike the car-buying experience—specifically, the experience of dealing with car salespeople. In contrast to many male car buyers, women do not typically revel in the gamesmanship of car buying. “Men get all excited about going out to buy a car and talk about how they’re g.

Consumer Decision Making
Welcome class to week six of the course, we only have three weeks left to go, yeah. We have officially covered over the last five weeks the foundations of what marketing is, along with discussing in depth the elements (four P’s) of the marketing mix. This week, we are going to discover what I like to call the fifth P of the marketing mix, “people.” We are going to learn all about the consumer this week and the vital role “People,” also known as the consumers play within the wonderful world of marketing. Let’s not waste anymore time and jump right into the role of a consumer.
The Importance of Understanding Consumer Behavior
Consumers’ product and service preferences are constantly changing. Marketing managers must understand these desires in order to create a proper marketing mix for a well-defined market. So it is critical that marketing managers have a thorough knowledge of consumer behavior. Consumer behavior describes how consumers make purchase decisions and how they use and dispose of the purchased goods or services. Understanding how consumers make purchase decisions can help marketing managers know how to meet the demands, needs, and criterion of the consumer.
The Consumer Decision Making Process
When buying products, particularly new or expensive items, consumers generally follow the consumer decision-making process, a five-step process used by consumers when buying goods or services. The five steps of the consumer decision-making process are: (1) need recognition, (2) information search, (3) evaluation of alternatives, (4) purchase, and (5) post-purchase behavior.
These five steps represent a general process that can be used as a guide for studying how consumers make decisions. It is important to note, though that consumers’ decisions do not always proceed in order through all of these steps. In fact, the consumer may end the process at any time or may not even make a purchase. Let’s discuss the five steps of the consumer decision-making process in greater detail.
1. Need Recognition
The first stage in the consumer decision-making process is need recognition. Need recognition is the result of an imbalance between actual and desired states. The imbalance arouses and activates the consumer decision-making process. Need recognition is triggered when a consumer is exposed to either an internal or an external stimulus, which is any unit of input affecting one or more of the five senses: sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing.
Internal stimuli are occurrences you experience such as hunger or thirst. External stimuli are influences from an outside source such as someone’s recommendation of a new restaurant, the color of an automobile, the design of a package, a brand name mentioned by a friend, or a ...

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

Class: MMM, Sem IV
Roll No. 26
2. Consumer Buying Behavior
According to Kotler, the consumer buying behavior starts from "need recognition, then moves to
information search, evaluation of alternatives, purchase decision, and post-purchase behavior".
Video link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKk-CbDQrHs&feature=player_embedded
The commercial begins by asking if you are tired of "flat, boring" hair. The black and white screenshot
of the woman looking frazzled helps to convince other women of needing fuller volume. Next, the
commercial gives you information about the product, including how to use it by simply parting your
hair, teasing it, inserting the Bumpit and fluffing it up. It also highlights the attributes of the product
being self-gripping, comfortable, concealed, and secure. Third, comparisons are made to alternative
solutions to getting greater volume. First, you could style your hair yourself, but that takes a long time
and falls flat quickly. Another solution could be to go to a salon and get your hair styled professionally.
However, that would cost over $100 for each visit. Thus, the best choice would be the Bumpit. Last,
the informercial instills a sense of urgency by telling the viewer to purchase the product now because
there is a limited time offer to double the order of Bumpits.
Consumers' Buying Behavior (Need Recognition)
Advertisements are directed to all five steps of the consumers' buying behavior. The first step that
focused on is need recognition. Need recognition is encouraging consumers to see the existing state
is NOT the desired state. Or in simpler terms telling the consumer something is wrong and if he/she
uses the company's product everything will be fixed.
Video Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=dFuuHPkORsA
This example is a great demonstration of Viagra advertising to the need recognition of the buying
decision process. It shows the targeted consumer it is not normal to have a boring relationship and
that having erectile dysfunction can be fixed. Also, it helps the consumer visualize what he could have
(desired relationship). It shows the man dancing with his wife and having a fun time. This
advertisement is great because it not only shows that the existing state is not desired, but also shows
what the desired state could be.
Consumers' Buying Behavior (Information Search)
o Internal search, memory.
o External search if you need more information. Friends and relatives (word of mouth).
Marketer dominated sources; comparison shopping; public sources etc.
A successful information search leaves a buyer with possible alternatives, the evoked set.
Hungry, want to go out and eat, evoked set is
o chinese food
o indian food
o burger king
3. o klondike kates etc
The advertisement for General Motors cars is an example of the later goal. Many consumers believe
that Japanese cars, like Honda and Toyota, always deliver better fuel economy than American made
cars, like GM's products. This ad presents the EPA estimated fuel economy for several GM vehicles in
an attempt to show potential customers that their assumptions about the company's cars may not be
entirely accurate. The ad does not directly state the comparison to Honda and Toyota, instead opting
to talk only about GM's cars, but the suggestion that viewers would be surprised by the fuel economy
of the GM vehicles means that the company believes that consumers view the GM product line as
being deficient in this area, which would imply a comparison to other companies' offerings.
Consumers' Buying Behavior (Evaluation of Alternatives)
Evaluation of Alternatives: How the consumer processes information to arrive at brand choices.
The world has seen the evolution of cell phones; the dramatic change in size, style, features, and
innovations. Apple has definitely changed the way we use our phones, it practically reinvented the
smart phone segment. The ability to access the web, download apps, and fit in our pockets all from the
touch of our fingertips is truly amazing. But when it comes to phone shopping, consumers enjoy
examining the alternatives and evaluating the positives or negatives about a product. Apple has taken
a large part of the smart phone market, but some alternatives and competitors are just hard to ignore
before making a certain purchase.
Video Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COWvwjfC0ig
At the beginning of the month, Google released the Nexus One, their smart phone that would compete
head to head with the Iphone. Both phones are similar in their attributes, features, hardware, but the
Nexus seems to offer more at a better advantage; it makes the Iphone look outdated. Although Google
made the Nexus One a big hype, the phone has not revolutionized the standard; the phone’s
components are just better than its main rivals. Google, though, tried to create a new, simplified
experience in purchasing the phone. Instead of going to a retail store to purchase/activate a phone,
they made it possible to have two straightforward options: Buy it with or without a contract online.
From my perspective, there is nothing revolutionizing or groundbreaking about this buying method, but
Google hoped to capture those consumers who just want to avoid the complications of phone buying.
This example is relevant to “evaluation of alternatives” because there are many different consumers in
the world, they need choices to choose from, having the ability to compare, and the capability to
narrow down decisions based on their satisfaction.
Consumers' Buying Behavior (Purchase Decision)
Once the alternatives have been evaluated, the consumer is ready to make a purchase decision.
Sometimes purchase intention does not result in an actual purchase. The marketing organisation must
facilitate the consumer to act on their purchase intention. The organisation can use a variety of
techniques to achieve this. The provision of credit or payment terms may encourage purchase, or a
sales promotion such as the opportunity to receive a premium or enter a competition may provide an
incentive to buy now. The relevant internal psychological process that is associated with purchase
decision is integration. Once the integration is achieved, the organisation can influence the purchase
decisions much more easily.
4. The choice to purchase the product and then finally the actual purchase of the product.This shows the
complete process that a consumer will most likely, whether recognisably or not, go through when they
go to buy a product.
Consumers' Buying Behavior (Post Purchase Behavior)
Post-purchase behavior involves all the consumers' activities and the experiences that follow the
purchase. Usually, after making a purchase, consumers experience post-purchase dissonance. In
other words, they regret their purchase decision. It is important for the marketer to know whether his
product is liked by the consumer or not.He wants the feedback about his product so that corrective
action, if necessary, can be taken,and the marketing mix be modified accordingly. Post-purchase
behavior is the reaction of the consumer, it gives an idea of his likes and dislikes, preferences and
attitudes and satisfaction towards the product. It indicates whether or not the purchase motives have
been achieved.
Purchase is the means, and post purchase is the end. Post purchase behavior indicates whether or
not repeat purchases will be made. Whether the customer will recommend the product to others or
not. It indicates whether long-term profits can or cannot be expected. All this can be found out by the
post-purchase behavior of the customers. Post purchase is the last phase in the decision-making
process as indicated by Figure below.
