Successful Relationships
• Customer Value - ratio between customer’sperceived benefits and the resources used toobtain those benefits. Firms must develop avalue proposition
• Customer Satisfaction - The individual'sperceived vs. expected performance. Loyalists,apostles, defectors, terrorists, hostages, andmercenaries
• Customer Retention - Provide value to retainhighly satisfied (and profitable) customers
1 - 6Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Customer Profitability-FocusedMarketing
• Tracks costs and revenues of individualconsumers
• Categorizes them into tiers based onconsumption behavior (platinum, gold,silver,…)
• A customer pyramid groups customersinto four tiers

Impact of Digital Technologies• Consumers have more power and access
to information• Marketers can gather more information
about consumers• The exchange between marketer and
customers is interactive and instantaneousand goes beyond the PC.
• Marketers must offer more products andservices

Concept of ConsumerResearch
No direct way to look into the Black Box,so we make logical inferences bystudying other variables:
- Inductive logic- from specifics to generalities
- Deductive logic-from generalities to specifics

simple for consumers to answer• Semantic differential scale: relatively easy
to construct and administer• Behavior intention scale: also easy to
construct and administer• Rank-order scale: subjects rank items in
order of preference or in terms of somecriteria

Chapter 4Consumer Motivation
1 - 41Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Needs and Motivation
• Needs are the essence of the marketingconcept. Marketers do not create needsbut can make consumers aware of needs.
• Motivation is the driving force withinindividuals that impels them to action.
1 - 42Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Model of the Motivation Process
15
1 - 43Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Types of Needs (Classic Scheme).
• Innate/Primary/Biogenic Needs- positive or supply- negative or avoidance- Species maintenance
• Acquired/Secondary/Psychogenic needs- Ego defensive- Ego bolstering- Affectional- (IK)
1 - 44Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Goals• The sought-after results of motivated
behavior• Generic goals: general solutions to fulfill
consumers’ needs• Product-specific goals: specific choices
from within the general product or servicecategories
1 - 45Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
The Selection of Goals
• The goals selected by an individualdepend on their:– Personal experiences– Physical capacity– Prevailing cultural norms and values– Goal’s accessibility in the physical and social
environment
16
1 - 46Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Rational versus Emotional Motives
• Rationality implies that consumers selectgoals via objective criteria such as size,weight, price, or miles per gallon
• Emotional motives imply the selection ofgoals according to personal or subjectivecriteria
1 - 47Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
The Dynamic Nature of Motivation
• Needs are never fully satisfied• New needs emerge as old ones are
satisfied• People who achieve their goals set new
and higher goals for themselves
1 - 48Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Substitute Goals
• Are used when a consumer cannot attaina specific goal he/she anticipates willsatisfy a need
• The substitute goal will dispel tension• Substitute goals may actually replace the
primary goal over time
17
1 - 49Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Frustration• Failure to achieve a goal may result in
frustration.• Some people adapt; others adopt defense
mechanisms to protect their self-esteem(ego):– Aggression, Rationalization, Regression,
Withdrawal, Projection, Identification, Autism,Repression
1 - 50Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Philosophies Concerned withArousal of Motives
• Behaviorist School– Behavior is response to stimulus– Elements of conscious thoughts are to be ignored– Consumer does not act, but reacts
• Cognitive School– Behavior is directed at goal achievement– Needs and past experiences are reasoned,
categorized, and transformed into attitudes andbeliefs
1 - 51Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Murray’s List of Psychogenic Needs• Needs Associated with Inanimate Objects:
Acquisition, Conservancy, Order, Retention,Construction
• Needs Reflecting Ambition, Accomplishment, andPrestige: Superiority, Achievement, Recognition,Exhibition, Infavoidance
• Needs Connected with Human Power:Dominance, Deference, Sibilance, Autonomy,Contrarians
18
1 - 52Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Murray’s List of Psychogenic Needs(con’td.)
• Sado-Masochistic Needs : Aggression,Abasement
• Needs Concerned with Affection betweenPeople: Affiliation, Rejection, Nurturance,Succorance, Play
• Needs Concerned with Social Interaction:Cognizance, Exposition
1 - 53Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Motivational Research
• Qualitative research designed to uncoverconsumers’ subconscious or hiddenmotivations
• Attempts to discover underlying feelings,attitudes, and emotions

1 - 55Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Factors Influencing how we Relate toour Environment
• Personality• Attitudes• Moods
1 - 56Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
The Nature of Personality
• Personality reflects individualdifferences
• Personality is consistent and enduring• Personality can change
1 - 57Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Theories of Personality• Freudian theory
– Unconscious needs or drives are at the heartof human motivation
• Neo-Freudian personality theory– Social relationships are fundamental to the
formation and development of personality• Trait theory
– Quantitative approach to personality as a setof psychological traits
20
1 - 58Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Freudian Theory• Id
– Warehouse of primitive or instinctual needs forwhich individual seeks immediate satisfaction
• Superego– Individual’s internal expression of society’s moral
and ethical codes of conduct• Ego
– Individual’s conscious control that balances thedemands of the id and superego
1 - 59Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Neo-Freudian Personality Theory• We seek goals to overcome feelings of inferiority• We continually attempt to establish relationships
with others to reduce tensions• Karen Horney who was interested in child-parent
relationships and desires to conquer feelings ofanxiety, proposed three personality groups:– Compliant move toward others, they desire to be loved,
wanted, and appreciated– Aggressive move against others– Detached move away from others
1 - 60Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Trait Theory• Personality theory with a focus on
psychological characteristics• Trait - any distinguishing, relatively enduring
way in which one individual differs fromanother
• Personality is linked to how consumersmake their choices or to consumption of abroad product category - not a specificbrand
21
1 - 61Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Major Marketing-Oriented Traits
• Innovativeness• Dogmatism• Social character – inner/other-
directedness• Need for uniqueness - non-conformity• OSL - the level/amount of stimulus sought• Variety-novelty seeking
1 - 62Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Cognitive Personality Factors
• Need for cognition (NC)– A person’s craving for enjoyment of thinking– Individual with high NC more likely to respond
to ads rich in product information• Visualizers versus verbalizers
– A person’s preference for informationpresented visually or verbally
– Verbalizers prefer written information overgraphics and images.
1 - 63Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
From Consumer Materialism toCompulsive Consumption
• Consumer materialism– The extent to which a person is considered
“materialistic”• Fixated consumption behavior
– Consumers fixated on certain products orcategories of products
• Compulsive consumption behavior– “Addicted” or “out-of-control” consumers
22
1 - 64Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Consumer Ethnocentrism
• Ethnocentric consumers feel it is wrong topurchase foreign-made products
• They can be targeted by stressingnationalistic themes
1 - 65Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Brand Personality• Personality-like traits associated with brands• Examples
– Purdue and freshness– Nike and athlete– BMW is performance driven– Levi’s 501 jeans are dependable and rugged
• Brand personality which is strong and favorablewill strengthen a brand but not necessarilydemand a price premium
1 - 66Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Product Personality Issues• Gender
– Often used for brand personalities– Some product perceived as masculine (coffee and
toothpaste) while others as feminine (bath soap andshampoo)
• Geography– Actual locations like Philadelphia cream cheese and Arizona
iced tea– Fictitious names also used such as Hidden Valley and Bear
Creek• Color
– Color combinations in packaging and products denotespersonality
23
1 - 67Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Self and Self-Image
• Consumers have a variety of enduringimages of themselves
• These images are associated withpersonality in that individuals consumptionrelates to self-image
1 - 68Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Self and Self-Image (cont’d.)
• One or multiple selves: A single person acts differentlyin different situations, with different people, and has a variety ofsocial roles
• Makeup of the self-image: traits, skills, habits,possessions, relationships and behavior patterns developed throughbackground, experience, and social interactions
• Extended self: by using self-altering possessions to
express individualism
• Altering the self- image: maintaining the existingself, creating new self, extending the self, etc.

Chapter 6Consumer Perception
1 - 71Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Perception
• The process by which an individualselects, organizes, and interprets stimuliinto a meaningful and coherent picture ofthe world
• How we see the world around us
1 - 72Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Elements of Perception• Sensation: The immediate and direct response of the
sensory organs to stimuli (a stimulus is any unit ofsensory input).
• Absolute threshold: the lowest level at which anindividual can experience a sensation.
• Differential threshold: Minimal difference that canbe detected between two similar stimuli (also known asthe just noticeable difference (the j.n.d.)
• Subliminal perception: Stimuli that are too weak ortoo brief to be consciously seen or heard may be strongenough to be perceived by one or more receptor cells.No research evidence that subliminal advertising cancause behavior changes
25
1 - 73Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Weber’s Law• The j.n.d. between two stimuli is not an
absolute amount but an amount relative tothe intensity of the first stimulus
• Weber’s law states that the stronger theinitial stimulus, the greater the additionalintensity needed for the second stimulus tobe perceived as different. Marketers need todetermine the relevant level of j.n.d. so that negativechanges are not readily discernible to the public whileproduct/service improvements are very apparent toconsumers

Interpretation
1 - 75Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Perceptual Selection• Consumers subconsciously are selective as to
what they perceive.• Stimuli selected depends on two major factors
– Consumers’ previous experience– Consumers’ motives
• Selection depends on the– Nature of the stimulus– Expectations– Motives
26
1 - 76Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Perceptual Selection• Selective Exposure: Consumers seek out
messages which are pleasant, resonate with them, andhelp them make good purchase decisions
• Selective Attention: Heightened awareness whenmotivated; Prefer different messages and media
• Perceptual Defense: Screening out threateningstimuli
• Perceptual Blocking: Consumers avoid beingbombarded by tuning out, using TiVo etc.

Principles of PerceptualOrganization
• Figure and ground: experience events by focusing onsome part and relegating the rest to a sort of hazybackground
• Grouping: group stimuli to form a unified impression orconcept. Grouping helps memory and recall
• Closure: Will often fill in missing piecesIncomplete messages remembered more than complete
• Good figures: Familiar, symmetrical and orderlyexperiences are perceived faster and rememberedlonger.

Interpretation(Perceptual Distortion)
• Physical Appearances: People seek positive attributes ofexperiences to relate to. More attractive models are often morepersuasive.
• Stereotypes: Ascribe meanings based on fragments of pastinformation.
• First Impressions: People look for relevant, important, orpredictive stimuli. First impressions are lasting
• Jumping to Conclusions: based on informationcaptured first. Put persuasive argument first.
• Halo Effect: perceive and evaluate multiple objectsbased on just one dimension

Issues in Consumer Imagery
• Product Positioning and Repositioning• Positioning of Services• Perceived Price• Perceived Quality• Retail Store Image• Manufacturer Image• Perceived Risk
28
1 - 82Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Positioning• Establishing a specific image for a brand
in the consumer’s mind• Product is positioned in relation to
competing brands• Conveys the concept, or meaning, of the
product in terms of how it fulfills aconsumer need
• Result of successful positioning is adistinctive, positive brand image
1 - 83Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Positioning Techniques• Umbrella
Positioning• Positioning against
Competition• Positioning Based
on a Specific Benefit
• Finding an“Unowned” Position
• Filling SeveralPositions
• Repositioning
1 - 84Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Perceptual Mapping
• A research technique that enablesmarketers to plot graphically consumers’perceptions concerning product attributesof specific brands
29
1 - 85Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Issues in Perceived Price
• Reference prices – used as a basis forcomparison in judging another price– Internal– External
• Acquisition and transaction utility• One study offers three types of pricing
strategies based on perception of value.
1 - 86Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Acquisition-TransactionUtility
• Acquisition utility– The consumer’s
perceived economicgain or lossassociated with thepurchase
– Function of productutility and purchaseprice
• Transaction utility– The perceived
pleasure ordispleasureassociated with thefinancial aspect ofthe purchase
– Determined by thedifference betweenthe internal referenceprice and thepurchase price
1 - 87Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Perceived Quality
• Perceived Quality of Products– Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Cues
• Perceived Quality of Services• Price/Quality Relationship
30
1 - 88Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Perceived Quality of Services
• Difficult due to characteristics of services– Intangible– Variable– Perishable– Simultaneously Produced and Consumed
• SERVQUAL scale used to measure gapbetween customers’ expectation of service andperceptions of actual service
1 - 89Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Price/Quality Relationship
• The perception of price as an indicator ofproduct quality (e.g., the higher the price,the higher the perceived quality of theproduct.)
1 - 90Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Types of Perceived Risk.
1) Functional risk2) Physical risk3) Financial risk4) Social risk5) Psychological risk6) Time riskIK

1 - 91Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Perceived Risk Highest when.- little information available about the offering- the offering is new- high price- technically complex product or service- substantial quality differences among brands- less experienced consumers- socially visible decisionIK
1 - 92Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Risk reducing strategies.• Seek more information• Buy same brand as before• Buy brand with best image• Buy from same or best known store• Buy the most expensive alternative• Buy the cheapest alternative• Seek reassuranceIK

1 - 94Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Learning• The process by which individuals acquire
the purchase and consumption knowledgeand experience that they apply to futurerelated behavior
• Marketers must teach consumers:– where to buy– how to use– how to maintain– how to dispose of products
1 - 95Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Learning Theories
Behavioral Theories:Learning result fromobservableresponses toexternal stimuli.Also known asstimulus responsetheories.
Cognitive Theories:Learning is basedon mentalinformationprocessing, often inresponse toproblem solving.
Learning can be intentional or incidental

Classical ConditioningClassical Conditioning
• When a “natural” stimulus that elicits a knownresponse is paired with a “created” stimulusthe respondents learn to respond to the createdstimulus as if it were the natural stimulus.
• Strategic Applications of Classical Conditioning:– Repetition – strengthen association
– Stimulus generalization - Helps “me-too” products tosucceed and in product extensions
– Stimulus discrimination - Basis of positioning for uniqueways to fill needs

Issues in Involvement Theory
• Involvement depends on degree of personalrelevance. High involvement is:– Very important to the consumer
– Provokes extensive problem solving
• Central and Peripheral Routes to Persuasion
• Measure of Involvement
1 - 108Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Central and Peripheral Routesto Persuasion
• Central route to persuasion– For high involvement purchases
– Requires cognitive processing
• Peripheral route to persuasion– Low involvement
– Consumer less motivated to think
– Learning through repetition, visual cues, andholistic perception
37

Measures of Consumer Learning
• Recognition and Recall Measures– Aided and Unaided Recall
• Cognitive Responses to Advertising• Attitudinal and Behavioral Measures of
Brand Loyalty
1 - 110Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Brand Loyalty• Function of three groups of influences
– Consumer drivers– Brand drivers– Social drivers
• Four types of loyalty– No loyalty– Covetous loyalty– Inertia loyalty– Premium loyalty
1 - 111Copyright 2007 by Prentice Hall
Brand Equity
• The value inherent in a well-known brandname
• Value stems from consumer’s perceptionof brand superiority
• Brand equity reflects learned brand loyalty• Brand loyalty and brand equity lead to
increased market share and greater profits
