Study Notes
Post-Purchase Behavior
- Post-purchase behavior involves consumers evaluating their purchases against expectations, influencing future decisions.
- High satisfaction leads to brand loyalty, minimizing future information search and alternative evaluation.
- Mediocre or poor experiences lead to repeating the entire decision-making process for the next purchase.
- Satisfied customers are loyal repeat customers; unhappy customers damage brand image significantly.
- Customers increasingly share opinions via word-of-mouth, notably on social media and product review sites.
- Customer satisfaction degree, not just satisfaction itself, is crucial, especially in industries with low switching costs. Highly satisfied customers are significantly more loyal than merely satisfied customers.
Evaluation of Satisfaction
- Post-purchase satisfaction is a critical marketing metric.
- Net Promoter Score (NPS) indirectly measures customer satisfaction by gauging the likelihood of recommending a company.
- Customer retention is vital due to the high cost of customer acquisition.
- Loyal customers lead to repeat purchases, reduced churn rates, positive word-of-mouth, and enhanced competitiveness.
Expectancy-Disconfirmation Model
- Satisfaction or dissatisfaction arises from the difference between expected and perceived product performance.
- Perceived performance > expectation = satisfaction.
- Perceived performance = expectation = no satisfaction.
- Perceived performance < expectation = dissatisfaction.
Minimizing Dissatisfaction
- Brands aim to exceed customer expectations.
- Marketers create expectations during the pre-purchase stage.
- Phrases like "satisfaction guaranteed" and money-back guarantees address post-purchase concerns.
Responses to Dissatisfaction
- Voice Response: Direct appeal to the retailer.
- Private Response: Expressing dissatisfaction to friends/family; boycotting.
- Third-Party Response: Public complaints, online reviews, potentially damaging word-of-mouth.
Factors Influencing Dissatisfaction Expressions
- Consumer demographics (income, education).
- Consumer personality traits (introversion, agreeableness).
- Company policies (complaint process).
- These factors reduce the likelihood of consumer complaints.
Post-Purchase Dissonance
- Post-purchase dissonance is doubt and anxiety after making a significant, irreversible purchase decision.
- Factors triggering dissonance include commitment level, difficulty choosing from multiple alternatives, and individual tendencies to experience anxiety.
- Low involvement purchases usually do not trigger dissonance; high-involvement purchases often do.
Consumption Guilt
- Consumption guilt involves negative emotions or guilt from using a product.
- Examples include remorse from eating unhealthy food.
