Example: Car purchasing (consideration and purchasing)
Source: Google
Stacy is a 32-year-old mother of two. At
the time of her search, she drove a mid-
size SUV that fit her family of four.
But with a third child on the way, she
needed a new car that would fit three
car seats, and so she had to decide
between buying a larger SUV or going
with a minivan.
But at what price? What specs? What
brand?

the customer
You start by understanding the
customer.
Asking, how can I best influence them
across the different parts of the path to
purchase journey.
Where do they hang out? What do they
enjoy? What are their latent needs?
Identifying insights into their behaviours
that can be influenced.
A key role of a marketer is to put
themselves in the shoes of the customer.

Buyers remorse is the sense of regret after having made a
purchase, that often arises when a person must make a
difficult buying decision.
⢠The more resources such as money, time, and cognitive
resources that are invested into making a purchase, the more
likely the buyer will experience buyerâs remorse or
psychological discomfort.
⢠Purchases that require high amounts of effort but do not bear
high rewards are likely to lead to buyerâs remorse.
Like any relationship, it needs time to evolve, for the parties to
understand each other and for expectations to be set, so to
become a long-term lasting relationship.

Why?
Many customers are lost in the first 100 daysâŚ
53. | netwealth
âWhen you act generously, people take
notice. Theyâll begin to feel appreciated,
and in turn, theyâll want to pay it forward.
Itâs a natural inclination for us to want
givers to succeed because we can
appreciate the generosity that was
shown to us.â
- John Ruhlin, Giftology
⢠Find out what matters to your client through your initial
meeting/s
⢠Surprise and delight the client with a unique and
personal gift
⢠The gift does not have to be expensive, in fact the more
expensive the gift is, arguably the less personal it is
⢠You donât have to give a gift to everyone, so target the
clients that you think will give you the largest lifetime
value
⢠The way you deliver the gift is just as important as the
gift itself
Marketing success53
Gifts are symbols of the value you place on the relationship
