Study Notes
Buyer Behavior Introduction
- Buyer behavior studies consumers' actions and decisions when purchasing, using, and disposing of products or services.
- It includes individual preferences and social/cultural influences.
- Marketing uses an understanding of buyer behavior to:
- Understand what drives consumer purchasing decisions.
- Position products to meet consumer needs effectively.
- Predict how external factors (like advertising or trends) impact consumer choices.
- The core objective is to accurately predict consumer behavior and craft targeted marketing strategies.
Models of Buyer Behavior
Stimulus-Response Model
- Consumers react to external stimuli (e.g., marketing campaigns, environmental factors) that influence their decision-making.
- Input (Stimulus): Marketing stimuli like product features, price, promotion, and place.
Consumer Decision-Making Process
- Problem Recognition: Identifying a gap between a current state and a desired state (e.g., needing a new phone).
- Information Search: Using past experiences or researching through reviews, ads, recommendations, etc.
- Evaluation of Alternatives: Comparing features, prices, and benefits of different options. Marketers influence this phase through clear product differentiation.
- Purchase Decision: Deciding to buy based on preferences, availability, or promotions (e.g., limited-time discounts).
- Post-Purchase Behavior: Assessing satisfaction and forming opinions, loyalty is linked to positive experiences.
Psychological Variables Influencing Buyer Behavior
- Perception: The process of interpreting and organizing sensory information to understand a product.
- Selective Perception: Consumers filter information based on relevance, ignoring irrelevant or contradictory messages.
- Motivation: Driven by Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs (physiological, safety, social, esteem, self-actualization) .
- Learning: Past experiences and reinforcement affect purchasing decisions.
- Attitudes and Beliefs: Consumers' feelings towards a product and perceptions of its attributes.
- Lifestyle and Personality: Consumer choices based on activities, interests, opinions, and personality traits.
Social and Cultural Influences
- Reference Groups: These groups (family, friends, celebrities) influence attitudes and behaviors.
- Culture and Subculture: Cultural values and beliefs and subcultures (ethnic, social, etc.) have unique market opportunities.
Applications of Buyer Behavior Insights
- Hofacker's Online Information Processing: Focuses on how consumers process information digitally (attention, comprehension, yielding, and retention).
- Behavior Change Strategies (Unilever's Five Levers): Strategies to influence buying behavior. (Make it understood, easy, desirable, rewarding, and a habit).
Buyer Behavior in the Digital Age
- Consumers increasingly rely on AI assistants (e.g., Alexa, Siri) for decision-making.
- Trust is a key factor in digital purchases.
- Convenience (e.g., fast delivery) builds customer loyalty
Metrics and Measuring Buyer Behavior
- Conversion Rate: Measures the percentage of consumers taking a desired action.
- Customer Satisfaction (CSAT): Gauges customers' happiness with their purchase.
- Customer Lifetime Value (CLV): Predicts the total revenue a customer will generate.
