Study Notes
Introduction to Consumer Behaviour
- Consumer behaviour is the study of how individuals make decisions regarding the purchase, use, and disposal of goods and services.
- Marketing strategies are designed to understand and influence consumer behaviour.
- Market analysis involves understanding the needs, wants, and preferences of consumers.
- The consumer decision process is a series of steps that consumers go through when making a purchase.
Culture and Consumer Behaviour
- Culture is a learned set of beliefs, values, and customs shared by a group of people.
- Cultural factors influence consumer behaviour by shaping their perceptions, attitudes, and preferences.
- Cross-cultural marketing involves adapting marketing strategies to different cultures.
- Cross-cultural marketing objectives include understanding cultural differences, identifying market opportunities, and developing effective marketing campaigns.
Motivation and Consumer Behaviour
- Motivation is the force that drives people to satisfy their needs and achieve their goals.
- Motives can be positive or negative.
- Personal motives are driven by individual needs and desires.
- Social motives are influenced by group membership and social expectations.
- Involvement refers to the level of interest and importance consumers attach to a product or service.
Perception and Consumer Behaviour
- Perception is the process by which individuals select, organize, and interpret information from the environment.
- The perception process is shaped by individual experiences, cultural factors, and personal needs.
- Perception influences consumer behaviour by shaping their attitudes, beliefs, and purchase decisions.
- Perception is a subjective process, meaning that different people can perceive the same information differently.
- Selective attention, selective distortion, and selective retention are three key perceptual processes that affect consumer behaviour.
Determining Consumer Buying Behaviour
- Consumer purchase decisions involve a series of steps, including need recognition, information search, evaluation of alternatives, purchase decision, and post-purchase evaluation.
- There are different types of consumer decision behaviour, including habitual, limited, and extended problem-solving.
- Situational influences, such as time pressure, physical surroundings, and social factors, can affect consumer buying decisions.
- Several models have been developed to understand consumer behaviour, including the Economic Model, Learning Model, Sociological Model, and the Howard Sheth Model.
- The Economic Model of buying behaviour is based on the assumption that consumers are rational and make decisions based on maximizing utility.
- The Learning Model emphasizes the role of learning and experience in shaping consumer behaviour.
- The Sociological Model emphasizes the influence of social factors, such as group membership and social class, on consumer behaviour.
- The Howard Sheth Model provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the interplay of various factors that influence consumer behaviour.
National, Group, and Cultural Needs
- Cultural beliefs, values, and customs are important for satisfying human needs.
- Cultures provide order, direction, and guidance in all phases of life.
- Cultures evolve over time to meet the changing needs of society.
- Culture is learned through formal, informal, and technical means.
- Advertising and marketing can influence all three types of learning.
Goals and Motivation
- Generic goals are general categories of goals that fulfill consumer needs.
- Product-specific goals are specifically branded products or services selected by consumers.
- Positive motivation involves enjoyment and optimism about tasks.
- Negative motivation involves avoiding undesirable outcomes.
- Rational motives are based on objective criteria, while emotional motives are based on personal feelings.
The Dynamic Nature of Motivation
- Needs are never fully satisfied.
- New needs emerge as old needs are satisfied.
- People set higher goals once previous goals are achieved.
The Motivation Process
- The motivation process is a series of steps that lead to motivation.
- Environmental cues can activate specific needs.
- The Behaviourist school emphasizes the role of stimuli in shaping behaviour, while the Cognitive school emphasizes the role of reasoning and goals.
The Selection of Goals
- The goals selected by an individual depend on personal experiences, physical capacity, cultural norms, and accessibility.
Motivation Theories and Marketing Strategy
- Abraham Maslow’s “Need Hierarchy Theory” is a widely mentioned theory of motivation.
- Maslow’s hierarchy of needs includes physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, esteem needs, and self-actualization needs.
- Maslow argued that lower-level needs must be satisfied before higher-level needs can become motivators.
