Storytelling has long been mysterious because its true purpose has been misunderstood. While writers want to share their stories, the objective should be turning on readers and making them turn the page. A good story focuses on the audience, not the storyteller, and leaves readers feeling something when finished. History provides hints that all strong stories have three pillars - fear, catharsis, and suffering - and follow a similar pattern of emotionally attaching audiences. Visuals enhance stories by making audiences more interactive.

This document summarizes different ways that consumer decision making can stray from rational deliberation. It discusses low involvement peripheral decision making, variety-seeking behavior, and concepts from behavioral decision theory and behavioral economics like heuristics, framing, and mental accounting. Specifically, it explains how consumers use heuristics like availability and representativeness, how framing can influence choices, and how mental accounting involves categorizing financial options in non-logical ways like integrating small gains with large losses.
5-(III) how to consumers make purchasing decisions
The document outlines the 5 stages that consumers go through in the buying process: 1) problem recognition, 2) information search, 3) evaluation of alternatives, 4) purchase decision, and 5) post-purchase behavior. It describes each stage in detail, including how internal and external stimuli can trigger problem recognition, the different sources of information consumers use in their search, and how they evaluate alternatives based on attributes and form attitudes. The document also discusses factors that can influence the purchase decision and the importance of satisfying consumers in the post-purchase stage through reinforcement of their choice.
5-(I) how do consumer characteristics influene buying behaviour
Consumer characteristics such as cultural, social, and personal factors influence buying behavior. Cultural factors include culture, subculture, and social class. Culture determines values and views, while subcultures provide identity. Social class indicates divisions in society that influence product preferences. Social factors comprise reference groups like family and roles/status. Personal factors consist of age, occupation, personality, lifestyle, and values. These characteristics shape consumer tastes, choices, and consumption patterns.
5-(II) major psychological processes influencing consumer responses
The key psychological processes that influence consumer responses to marketing are motivation, perception, learning, emotion, and memory. Motivation is influenced by theories like Freud's, Maslow's, and Herzberg's which explain how needs drive behavior. Perception involves selective attention and distortion based on preconceptions. Learning associates products with drives and reinforcement. Emotions are evoked by ads and products. Memory involves forming associations between brands and attributes which marketers aim to strengthen through repetition and cues.
