2.
Pre-Purchase Phase
Customers recognize a need/desire
Some are heavily marketer influenced; some are not
e.g., Having trendy clothes vs. needing to eat
Customers search and evaluate products that address their need
e.g., Conduct online search, ask friends, etc.
Customers create a consideration set
All brands considered as candidates for purchase

2.
Who Utilizes the Purchase Process?
Business-to-Consumer (B2C) and Business-to-Business (B2B) both utilize the buying process
The amount of time spent on a stage depends upon what is being bought
A business customer is an agent buying something on behalf of an organization
e.g., Administrative assistants, operations department, etc.

Low involvement; standard, frequently consumed goods or impulse purchase
Consumers don’t spend much time thinking or planning the purchase
Shopping purchases
Medium involvement; not as frequently purchased
Consumers spend time and effort prior to purchase
13

2.
Sensation and Perception (slide 1 of 5)

Visual: colors can convey
Product characteristics (white for freshness for toothpaste)
Brand identity (Tiffany’s aqua blue)
Meaning (affected by culture)
20

Smell can
Get attention
e.g., Smelling the Cinnabon store

2.
Sensation and Perception (slide 5 of 5)
Mere exposure
Repeated exposure to an ad brings familiarity and a positive feeling
Perceptual fluency
Customers may pay the most attention to the content of a message
However, the colors, font, etc. make a brand impression as well
24

2.
Learning, Memory, and Emotions
Sensory and perceptual impressions can become brand associations
Learning is the process by which associations get past the sensory and perception stages into short-term memory and then, with repetition and elaboration, into long-term memory
Classical and operant conditioning
25

2.
Classical Conditioning (slide 1 of 2)
Pavlov’s dogs
Stage 1: a dog drools at sight of food
Stage 2: a dog doesn’t respond to a bell
Stage 3: ringing a bell while placing food in front of the dog elicits drool
Stage 4 (occurs over time): a bell rung in front of the dog elicits drool
A similar process can be used in advertising and jingles
26

2.
Classical Conditioning (slide 2 of 2)
Companies may have negative brand associations in customers’ memories
Some companies change names to help create new associations
e.g., Philip Morris is now Altria
e.g., ValuJet is now AirTran

2.
Operant Conditioning
Skinner used pigeons to show that learning occurs by positively reinforcing behavior
Fixed ratio reward: reward is given every time or every 4th time, etc.
Variable ratio reward: reward timing varies unpredictably
Subject will engage in the behavior more often if rewarded on the variable schedule
29

fixed ratio reward, and
variable ratio reward
Which reward ratio do you think would be more effective and why?

2.
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs (slide 1 of 2)
Maslow suggests that people must have their basic needs met before moving on to more abstract needs
Marketers may identify their product with one of Maslow’s needs
e.g., Volvo and safety needs
Many brands are associated with a sense of belonging, social acceptance, and respect
32

2.
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs (slide 2 of 2)
Marketers may identify products with aspiration groups
Marketers may offer an extended brand line for customers at different levels in Maslow’s hierarchy
e.g., Mercedes has a lower-end C model, then upward to E, S, and finally CL models
Marketers use hierarchy for positioning

Stage 1: Determine consideration set
Stage 2: Compare brands to make a purchase decision
37

2.
Decision Making (slide 2 of 3)
Stage 1
Non-compensatory method: if a brand doesn’t have important attributes, it is cut
Lexicographic method: compare all brands on most important attribute; cut brands that don’t have it; move on to next important attribute and compare and cut, etc.
38

2.
Decision Making (slide 3 of 3)
