    Introduction to Consumer Behavior

    • Consumer behavior encompasses all activities related to searching, purchasing, using, evaluating, and disposing of offerings intended to satisfy needs.
    • Decisions related to buying involve aspects such as what, why, how, when, and where consumers buy products.

    Marketing Concepts Evolution

    • Multiple marketing orientations guide how businesses approach strategies:
      • Production Concept: Focus on efficiency in production and distribution; consumers favor affordable products.
      • Product Concept: Emphasizes high quality and innovation; continuous product improvement is key.
      • Selling Concept: Prioritizes aggressive sales tactics for transaction-oriented relationships.

    • Target marketing selects specific customer groups to focus resources and strategies effectively.

    Marketing Mix and Technology

    • The marketing mix consists of tactical tools utilized to implement strategies, including product, price, place, and promotion.
    • Technology significantly enhances marketing: it allows for value exchange, better consumer information access, and precise targeting through data analytics.

    Customer Value, Satisfaction, and Retention

    • Customer value is the perceived benefits ratio versus the costs to acquire those benefits; it's subjective and varies among individuals.
    • Customer satisfaction reflects how well a product meets individual expectations; it is crucial for loyalty and retention.
    • High levels of customer satisfaction typically lead to greater retention rates.

    Psychographic Segmentation

      • Innovators: High resources, seek upscale, sophisticated products.
      • Thinkers: Educated, practical, favor value and functionality.
      • Achievers: Goal-oriented, prefer products that symbolize success.
      • Experiencers: Seek self-expression and new experiences.

      • Strivers: Trend-conscious but limited resources.
      • Makers: Prefer value, self-sufficient.
      • Survivors: Focus on basic needs, price-sensitive.

    User Behavior and Loyalty Status

    • Segment consumers based on their usage rates: heavy, medium, light, or non-users.
    • Loyalty status segments include hard-core, split loyals, shifting loyals, and switchers.

    Real-Time Behavioral Targeting

    • Real-time bidding enables advertisers to reach users effectively by targeting them based on behavioral data—ensuring the right message reaches the right consumer at the right time.
    • Impression profiling is conducted through data brokers using web crawlers, allowing for precise targeting.

    Predictive Analytics

    Tracking Online Behavior
