Consumption

Consumption process – process in which consumers use the product, service, or experience

Consumption is quick for nondurable goods (goods that last less the 12 months.)

Consumption is slow for durable goods (goods that last longer than 12 months.)

Thus, consumption frequency is higher for nondurable goods than for durable goods.

Consumption and Value

Consumption is how the consumer derives value from a purchase.

A Wendy’s hamburger is not worth $.99 if you can’t eat it.

We don’t know if we are satisfied with a product until after consumption.

If a person collects Bobble-heads do they consume them?

The Transference of Meaning in Consumption

Meaning Transference – When culturally defined meanings associated with a product, service, or experience are transferred to the consumer during consumption.

If we buy a motorcycle do we just buy a motorcycle?

If we buy beverages for a party, what do we want?

What is Value?

Value is created when the benefits of a purchase are greater than the costs.

Benefits – when product features perform expected functions and/or when meanings are transferred.

Costs – monetary, time, and psychological expenditures made to purchase and consume product.
