2、sumer Buying Behavior4.14.2Organization Buying Behavior4.3Customer Relationship4.1 Consumer Buying Behavior CaseSheba: The Pets St. Valentines DayPet food sales in Portugal rose from Esp. 480 million in 1988 to more than Esp.7 000 million in 1996. The average growth of 22 percent a year attracted mo
3、re than 60 new brands from both local and multinational companies. The market leader, EFFEM-Portugal, with brands like Sheba, Wbiskas and Pedigree Pal, had half of the pet food market and played an important role in the expansion of the market, but the going was not easy for all the brands.4.1 Consu
4、mer Buying BehaviorEFFEMs success came from understanding the behavior of both pets and their owners. Cats are resolved animals. Cats eat what they like and leave what they dislike. A cat is selective and sensitive regarding his or her nutritional needs and taste. If given food it dislikes, a cat se
5、eks an alternative. Dogs are different. A hungry dog will eat almost anything, and eats it quickly. For cat food the main concern is to give pleasure and to provide variety.4.1 Consumer Buying Behavior For dogs it is volume and ease of consumption. Launched in 1988, Sheba is EFFEMs superpremium bran
6、d for cats. By 1995 Shebas market position and even its commercial existence was threatened by the absence of marketing support and the entrance of new competitors into its market niche. Only 9 percent of the total market had ever bought a can of Sheba at least once. Shebas low market share of just
7、2 percent justified little promotional expenditure, but for Sheba it was fight back or die.4.1 Consumer Buying Behavior4.1 Consumer Buying BehaviorIn this way both owners and pets received a gift. This sampling raised customers brand awareness and knowledge of Sheba. Besides giving information, the
8、card encouraged the pets owners to show their love for their cat by giving it Sheba because “it deserves it”. The card and its message were designed to generate favorable feelings. After all, it was Christmas time and this “Santa Claus” gave away 12 000 cans of very special Sheba.4.1 Consumer Buying
9、 BehaviorThe second stage of the campaign repeated the Christmas promotion, but with St. Valentines Day as the theme. The Valentines cart showed two cats, probably lovers, with the messages: “Because today is a special day, Sheba has a gift for your cat” and “let it know how you love your cat”. Duri
10、ng the campaign, 11 900 cans were given to customers at the point of sale.4.1 Consumer Buying BehaviorThe Valentines card also doubled as a cash-back coupon with a face value of Esp. l00. The refund and the emotional appeal of the message helped customers to confirm their preference for Sheba while
11、showing their love for their cats. The promotions reversed Shebas sales decline. The impact on brand awareness/knowledge and repeat purchase was evident and the percentage of consumers who had ever tried Sheba increased to 22 percent.4.1 Consumer Buying Behavior TextModels of Consumer Buyer Behavior
12、In earlier times, marketers could understand consumers well through the daily experience of selling to them. But as firms and markets have grown in size, many marketing decision makers have lost direct contact with their customers and must now turn to consumer research. They spend more money than ev
13、er to study consumers, trying to learn more about consumer behavior. Who buys? How do they buy? When do they buy? Where do they buy? Why do they buy?4.1 Consumer Buying BehaviorThe central question for marketers is: how do consumers respond to various marketing stimuli that the company might use? Th
14、e company that really understands how consumers will respond to different product features, prices and advertising appeals has a great advantage over its competitors. Therefore, companies and academies have researched heavily the relationship between marketing stimuli and consumer response. Their st
15、arting point is the stimulusresponse model of buyer behavior shown in Figure 4-1. 4.1 Consumer Buying BehaviorThis shows that marketing and other stimuli enter the consumers black box and produce certain responses. Marketers must figure out what is in the buyers black box. Marketing stimuli consist
16、of the four Ps: product, price, place and promotion. Other stimuli include significant forces and events in the buyers environmenteconomic, technological, political and cultural. All these stimuli enter the buyers black box, where they are turned into a set of observable buyer responsesproduct choic
17、e, brand choice, dealer choice, purchase timing and purchase amount.4.1 Consumer Buying BehaviorThe marketer wants to understand how the stimuli are changed into responses inside the consumers black box, which has two parts. First, the buyers characteristics influence how he or she perceives and rea
18、cts to the stimuli. Second, the buyers decision process itself affects the buyers behavior. This chapter first looks at the buyers characteristics as they affect buying behavior, and then examines the buyers decision process. We will never know what exactly is in the black box or be able perfectly t
19、o predict consumer behavior, but the models can help us understand consumers, help us to ask the right questions, and teach us how to influence them.4.1 Consumer Buying BehaviorFigure 4-1 Models of Consumer Buyer Behavior4.1 Consumer Buying BehaviorTypes of Buying Decision BehaviorConsumer decision
20、making varies with the type of buying decisions. Consumer buying behavior differs greatly for a tube of toothpaste, a tennis racket, an expensive camera and a new car. More complex decisions usually involve more buying participants and more buyer deliberations. The types of consumer buying behavior
21、based on the degree of buyer involvement and the degree of differences among brands.4.1 Consumer Buying BehaviorComplex Buying BehaviorConsumers undertake complex buying behavior when they are highly involved in a purchase and perceive significant differences among brands, or when the product is exp
22、ensive, risky, purchased infrequently and highly self-expressive. Typically, the consumer has much to learn about the product category.4.1 Consumer Buying BehaviorThis buyer will pass through a learning process, first developing beliefs about the product, then developing attitudes, and then making a
23、 thoughtful purchase choice. Marketers of high-involvement products must understand the information fathering and evaluation behavior of highinvolvement consumers. They need to help buyers learn about product-class attributes and their relative importance and about what the companys brand offers on
24、the important attributes.4.1 Consumer Buying BehaviorMarketers need to differentiate their brands features, perhaps by describing the brands benefits using print media with long copy. They must motivate store salespeople and the buyers acquaintances to influence the final brand choice. Recognizing t
25、his problem, Dixons, the electrical retailer, is setting up the link chain of stores dedicated to helping baffled buyers on to the information superhighway and multimedia.4.1 Consumer Buying BehaviorDissonance-reducing Buying BehaviorDissonance-reducing buying behavior occurs when consumers are high
26、ly involved with an expensive, infrequent or risky purchase, but see little difference among brands. For example, consumers buying carpeting may face a high-involvement decision because carpeting is expensive and self-expressive. Yet buyers may consider most carpet brands in a given price range to b
27、e the same. 4.1 Consumer Buying BehaviorIn this case, because perceived brand differences are not large, buyers may shop around to learn what is available, but buy relatively quickly. They may respond primarily to a good price or to purchase convenience. After the purchase, consumers might experienc
28、e postpurchase dissonance (after-sales discomfort) when they notice certain disadvantages of the purchased carpet brand or hear favorable things about brands not purchased. To counter such dissonance, the marketers after-sale communications should provide evidence and support to help consumers feel
29、good both before and after their brand choices.4.1 Consumer Buying BehaviorHabitual Buying BehaviorHabitual buying behavior occurs under conditions of low consumer involvement and little significant brand difference. For example, take salt. Consumers have little involvement in this product categoryt
30、hey simply go to the store and reach for a brand. If they keep reaching for the same brand, it is out of habit rather than strong brand loyalty. Consumers appear to have low involvement with most low-cost, frequently purchased products.4.1 Consumer Buying BehaviorConsumers do not search extensively
31、for information about the brands, evaluate brand characteristics and make weighty decisions about which brands to buy. Instead, they passively receive information as they watch television or read magazines. Ad repetition creates brand familiarity rather than brand conviction. Consumers do not form s
32、trong attitudes towards a brand, they select the brand because it is familiar and may not evaluate the choice even after purchase.4.1 Consumer Buying BehaviorBecause buyers are not highly committed to any brands, marketers of low involvement products with few brand differences often use price and sa
33、les promotions to stimulate product trial. Gaining distribution and attention at the point of sale is critical. In advertising for a low-involvement product, ad copy should stress only a few key points. Visual symbols and imagery are important because they can be remembered easily and associated wit
34、h the brand. Ad campaigns should include high repetition of short-duration messages. Television is usually more effective than print media because it is a low-involvement medium suitable for passive learning.4.1 Consumer Buying BehaviorVariety-seeking Buying BehaviorConsumers undertake variety-seeki
35、ng buying behavior in situations characterized by low consumer involvement, but significant perceived brand differences. In such cases, consumers often do a lot of brand switching. For example, when purchasing biscuits, a consumer may hold some beliefs, choose a biscuit without much evaluation, then
36、 evaluate that brand during consumption. But the next time, the consumer might pick another brand out of boredom or simply to try something different. Brand switching occurs for the sake of variety rather than because of dissatisfaction. 4.1 Consumer Buying BehaviorIn such product categories, the ma
37、rketing strategy may differ for the market leader and minor brands. The market leader will try to encourage habitual buying behavior by dominating shelf space, avoiding out-of-stock conditions and running frequent reminder advertising. Challenger firms will encourage variety seeking by offering lowe
38、r prices, deals, coupons, free samples and advertising that presents reasons for trying something new.4.1 Consumer Buying BehaviorThe Buyers Decision ProcessMost large companies research consumer buying decisions in great detail to answer questions about what consumers buy, where they buy, how and h
39、ow much they buy, when they buy and why they buy. Marketers can study consumer purchases to find answers to questions about what they buy, where and how much. But learning about the ways of consumer buying behavior and the buying decision process is not so easythe answers are often locked within the
40、 consumers head.4.1 Consumer Buying BehaviorWe will examine the stages that buyers pass through to reach a buying decision. We will use the model in Figure 4-2, which shows the consumer as passing through five stages: need recognition, information search, evaluation of alternatives, purchase decisio
41、n and postpurchase behavior. Clearly the buying process starts long before actual purchase and continues long after.Figure 4-2 Consumers Buying Decision4.1 Consumer Buying BehaviorNeed RecognitionThe buying process starts with need recognitionthe buyer recognizing a problem or need. The buyer senses
42、 a difference between his or her actual state and some desired state. The need can be triggered by internal stimuli when one of the persons normal needshunger, thirst, sexrise to a level high enough to become a drive. From previous experience, the person has learned how to cope with this drive and i
43、s motivated towards objects that he or she knows will satisfy it.4.1 Consumer Buying BehaviorA need can also be triggered by external stimuli. At this stage, the marketer needs to determine the factors and situations that usually trigger consumer need recognition. The marketer should research consum
44、ers to find out what kinds of needs or problems arise, what brought them about and how they led the consumer to this particular product. By gathering such information, the marketer can identify the stimuli that most often trigger interest in the product and can develop marketing programs that involv
45、e these stimuli.4.1 Consumer Buying BehaviorInformation SearchAn aroused consumer may or may not search for more information. If the consumers drive is strong and a satisfying product is near at hand, the consumer is likely to buy it then. If not, the consumer may simply store the need in memory or
46、undertake an information search related to the need. At one level, the consumer may simply enter heightened attention. Normally the amount of consumer search activity increases as the consumer moves from decisions that involve limited problem solving to those that involve extensive problem solving.4
47、.1 Consumer Buying BehaviorThe consumer can obtain information from any of several sources: Personal sources: family, friends, neighbors, acquaintancesCommercial sources: advertising, salespeople, dealers, packaging, displaysPublic sources: mass media, consumer-rating organizationsExperiential sourc
48、es: handling, examining, using the product4.1 Consumer Buying BehaviorThe relative influence of these information sources varies with the product and the buyer. Generally, the consumer receives the most information about a product from commercial sourcesthose controlled by the marketer. The most eff
49、ective sources, however, tend to be personal. Personal sources appear to be even more important in influencing the purchase of services. Commercial sources normally inform the buyer, but personal sources legitimize or evaluate products for the buyer. For example, doctors normally learn of new drugs
50、from commercial sources, but turn to other doctors for evaluative information.4.1 Consumer Buying BehaviorEvaluation of AlternativesHow does the consumer choose among the alternative brands? The marketer needs to know about alternative evaluationthat is, how the consumer processes information to arr
51、ive at brand choices. Unfortunately, consumers do not use a simple and single evaluation process in all buying situations. Instead, several evaluation processes are at work.4.1 Consumer Buying BehaviorCertain basic concepts help explain consumer evaluation processes. First, each consumer is trying t
52、o satisfy some need and is looking for certain benefits that can be acquired by buying a product or service. Second, the consumer will attach different degrees of importance to each attribute. A distinction can be drawn between the importance of an attribute and its salience.4.1 Consumer Buying Beha
53、viorThird, the consumer is likely to develop a set of brand beliefs about where each brand stands on each attribute. Fourth, the consumer is assumed to have a utility function for each attribute. The utility function shows how the consumer expects total product satisfaction to vary with different le
54、vels of different attributes. Fifth, the consumer arrives at attitudes towards the different brands through some evaluation procedure. Consumers have been found to use one or more of several evaluation procedures, depending on the consumer and the buying decision.4.1 Consumer Buying BehaviorPurchase
55、 DecisionIn the evaluation stage, consumer ranks brands and forms purchase intentions. Generally, the consumers purchase decision will be to buy the most preferred brand, but two factors come between the purchase intension and the purchase decision. The first factor is the attitudes of others. Purch
56、ase intention is also influenced by unexpected situational factors. 4.1 Consumer Buying BehaviorThe consumer may form a purchase intention based on factors such as expected family income, expected price and expected benefits from the product. When the consumer is about to act, unexpected situation f
57、actors may arise to change the purchase intention. 4.1 Consumer Buying BehaviorA consumers decision to change, postpone or avoid a purchase decision is influenced heavily by perceived risk. Many purchases involve some risk taking. Anxiety results when consumers cannot be certain about the purchase o
58、utcome. The amount of perceived risk varies with the amount of money at stake, the amount of purchase uncertainty and amount of consumer self-confidence. 4.1 Consumer Buying BehaviorA consumer takes certain actions to reduce risk, such as avoiding purchase decisions, gathering more information and l
59、ooking for national brand names and products with warranties. The marketer must understand the factors that provoke feelings of risk in consumers and must provide information arid support that will reduce the perceived risk.4.1 Consumer Buying BehaviorPostpurchase BehaviorThe marketers job does not
60、end when the product is bought. After purchasing the product, the consumer will be satisfied or dissatisfied and will engage in postpurchase behavior of interest to the marketer. What determines whether the buyer is satisfied or dissatisfied with a purchase? The answer lies in the relationship betwe
