• How do we make Consumers buy our products with the reality that we live in a hypercompetitive economy
• Is there any understanding of consumers that can bear influence on their behavior
• Are there patterns of Consumer Behavior and can we study them?
• Do Men, women, children and senior citizens display any specific behavior which we can study and utilize?
• Do Consumers have buying patterns in their behavior?• Do Consumers have a set way of imbibing or learning their
habits and can we imbibe these in them?

Needs & Goals
NEEDS:
All individuals have needs
Innate Needs – Physiological Needs (Primary Needs)
Needed for sustenance
Acquired Needs – Secondary Needs
They result from the individuals subjective psychological State and from relationships with others
GOALS: What is a goal?
Desired outcomes for individuals, groups or an entire organization
Sought after results of motivated behavior
Rajeev Chawla 28
Needs & Goals - cont
GOALS
Generic goals
Product specific goalsGOALS are selected by individuals depending on their personal experiences, physical capacity, prevailing cultural norms and values and the goal’s accessibility in the physical and social environmentGOALS must be socially acceptable and physically accessible

Degrees of Break-down
• Mass Marketing• Segmentation• Niche Marketing• Micro-niche marketing• Individual marketing (Customization)• Mass Customization
Rajeev Chawla 37
Degrees of Market Break-down
• Mass MarketingThe seller engages in mass production, mass distribution, and mass promotion of one product for all buyersE.g.: Ford, Coca-Cola
• SegmentationA market segment consists of a group of customers who share a similar need or needs. This could be low-cost, or a luxury experienceMarketers advise to offer segmented customers a flexible offering consisting of a naked solution containing the product and the service elements that all segments members value, and discretionary options that some segment members valueE.g.: car manufacturers offer several variants to the same model
Rajeev Chawla 38
Degrees of Market Break-down
• Niche MarketingA Niche is a more narrowly defined customer group seeking a distinctive mix of benefits. Marketers usually identify niches by dividing a segment into sub-segmentsAn attractive niche is characterized as follows: The customers in the niche have a distinct set of needs: they will pay a premium to the firm that best satisfies their needs; the niche is not likely to attract other competitors; the nicher gains certain economies through specialization and the niche has size, profit, and growth potentialWhereas segments are fairly large and normally attract several competitors, niches are fairly small and attract only one or two competitors
Rajeev Chawla 39
Degrees of Market Break-down
• Micro-niche marketingA Micro-niche is a very small segment of the market which has very few customers. A niche within a niche could also be called a micro-niche. Micro niches obviously have high profitability as customers are willing to pay more to have their needs met
• Individual marketing (Customization)Customization is the concept of a “segment of One”. This is a low-volume high-profit segment and the product is made specifically to cater to the needs of a single customerE.g.: Harley-Davidson bikes, Diet Programs
• Mass CustomizationIncreasing number of customers are demanding Customized offerings for the price of a Mass productE.g.: Dell computers, Automobiles abroad, Paint Companies

Market Segmentation Criteria
One the firm has identified its market-segment opportunities, it has to decide how many and which ones to targetTo be useful, market segments must rate favorably on 5 key criteria:MeasurableThe size, purchasing power and characteristics of the segments can be measuredSubstantialThe segment should be large and profitable enough to serveAccessibleThe segments can be effectively reached and servedDifferentiableThe segments are conceptually distinguishable and respond differently to different marketing-mix elements and programsActionableEffective programs can be formulated for attracting and serving the segments

SOCIAL CLASS
Is a doctor more valued than a truck driver or a farm worker in our society?This is the indication of the reality of the existence of a social classDefinition:SOCIAL CLASS is defined as the division of members of a society into a hierarchy of distinct status classes, so that members of each class have relatively the same status and members of all other classes have either more or less statusStatus is frequently thought of as the relative rankings of members of each social class in terms of specific status factors:Relative wealth: Amount of economic assetsPower: The degree of influence over othersAnd Prestige: The degree of recognition received from
othersAll 3 status factors are frequently used when estimating social class
Rajeev Chawla 46
SOCIAL CLASS
Individuals with more purchasing power or a greater ability to make purchases have more status
More convenient variables for status are demographic variables: family income, occupational status educational attainment
SOCIAL CLASS AND SEGMENTATION:Social class categories are usually ranked in a hierarchy, ranging from low to high status. Social class categories suggest to many people that others are equal to them, superior to them or equal to themWithin this context, social-class membership serves consumers as a frame of reference for the development of their attitudes and behaviorThe hierarchical aspect of social class is important to marketers. Consumers may purchase certain products because these products are favored by members of either their own or a higher social class, and consumers may avoid other products because they perceive the products to be “lower-class” products
Rajeev Chawla 47
SOCIAL CLASS
SOCIAL CLASS CATEGORIES:
• Upper-upper class• Lower-Upper class• Upper-middle class• Lower-middle class• Upper-lower class• Lower-lower class
OR
• Blue collar, grey collar, white collar
Rajeev Chawla 48
SOCIAL CLASS
MEASUREMENT OF SOCIAL CLASS CATEGORIES:
Systematic approaches for measuring social class fall into the following broad categories:
• Subjective measures• Reputational measures and• Objective measures
Subjective measures:Individuals are asked to estimate their own social-class positions. Typical of this approach is the following question: Which of the following categories best describes your social class?
• The Lower class ( )• The Lower-middle class ( )• The Upper-middle class ( )• The Upper class ( )• Do not know/refuse to answer ( )
Rajeev Chawla 49
SOCIAL CLASS
MEASUREMENT OF SOCIAL CLASS CATEGORIES:
Systematic approaches for measuring social class fall into the following broad categories:
• Subjective measures• Reputational measures and• Objective measures
Reputational measures:The reputational approach for measuring social class requires selected community informants to make judgments concerning the social-class membership of others within the communityThe final task of assigning community members to social-class positions, however, belongs to the trained researcher
Rajeev Chawla 50
SOCIAL CLASS
MEASUREMENT OF SOCIAL CLASS CATEGORIES:
Systematic approaches for measuring social class fall into the following broad categories:
• Subjective measures• Reputational measures and• Objective measures
Objective measures:These consist of selected demographic or socioeconomic variables concerning the individual under study. These variables are measured through questionnaires that ask the respondents several factual questions about themselves, their families, or their places of residence. Most researchers favor one or more of the following variables: Occupation, amount of income and educationTo the above socioeconomic factors, they add geo-demographic in the form of zip code, and residence neighborhood information

Psychographic Segmentation:
The major tendencies of the four groups with higher resources are:Innovators:Successful, sophisticates, active, take-charge people with high self-esteem. Purchases, often reflect cultivated tastes for relatively upscale, niche-oriented products and servicesThinkers:Mature, satisfied, and reflective people who are motivated by ideals and value order, knowledge, and responsibility. Favor durability, functionality, and value in productsAchievers:Successful goal-oriented people who focus on career and family. They favor premium products that demonstrate success to their peersExperimenters:Young, enthusiastic, impulsive people who seek variety and excitement. Spend a comparatively high proportion of income on fashion, entertainment, and socializing
Rajeev Chawla 54

Psychographic Segmentation:
The major tendencies of the four groups with lower resources are:Believers: Conservative, conventional, and traditional people with concrete beliefs. They favor familiar products, and are loyal to the established brandsStrivers:Trendy and fun loving who are resource constrained. They favor stylish products that emulate the purchases of those with greater material wealthMakers:Practical, down to earth, self-sufficient people who like to work with their hands. They favor products with a practical or functional purpose Survivors:Elderly, passive people who are concerned about change. They are loyal to their favorite brands

PERCEPTION
PERCEPTION:
Perception is defined as the process by which an individual selects, organizes and interprets stimuli into a meaningful picture of the world
PERCEPTION IS OUR MAP OF REALITY
IF WE WISH TO CHANGE PERCEPTION WE WILL HAVE TO CHANGE ONE’S REALITY
Rajeev Chawla 58
PERCEPTION - cont
IMPLICATIONS:
GENERIC:• Positioning • Addressing Segments• Brand personality• Communication message• Marketing Mix
SPECIFIC:• Packaging• Shelf merchandising• Color• Culture/Communities etc • Product details• Push• Promotions
Rajeev Chawla 59
CONCEPTS
CONDITIONING:
THE PAVLOVIAN DOG – CLASSICAL CONDITIONING
Stimulus + Association through an object = Response
After repeated learning, even in the absence of the Stimulus a subject will elicit a response merely on the basis of the association of the object
EXAMPLES:• Aroma in restaurants / Strong Visuals of Food• Silence in a Board Room or at a funeral• A judge entering his chambers – silence and order follows• Background music in movies• Firecrackers signify celebration
Rajeev Chawla 60
CONCEPTS
CONDITIONING:
REWARD AND PUNISHMENT - OPERANT CONDITIONINGB. F. SKINNER
The Human Desire for Strokes – positive and negative
Reward and punishment
Praise and Admonish
EXAMPLES:• Loyalty based promotions : Flying Returns, FCC• Scratch Cards with Gifts/Prizes• All the Current Car Finance Schemes
Rajeev Chawla 61
CONCEPTS
WHATS THE MODUS OPERANDI:
How do you use Conditioning? What’s the channel?
THE 5 SENSES!!!
SENSATION – The immediate and direct response of the sensory organs to simple stimuli
The Human organs are the sensory receptors that marketers work on
Which is the strongest sense???
Rajeev Chawla 62
CONCEPTS - cont
THRESHOLD:
Absolute threshold:The lowest level at which an individual can experience a sensationThe point at which a person can detect a difference between something and nothing is that persons absolute threshold for that stimulus.Adaptation is the variation that marketers are concerned about; this is technically called SENSORY ADAPTATION
EXAMPLES:• Billboards distance• Fonts on Billboards• Advertisements – positions in the newspapers
Rajeev Chawla 63
CONCEPTS - cont
THRESHOLD:
Differential threshold:
The minimal differential that can be detected between two similar stimuli is called the differential threshold or also called the J.N.D. – Just noticeable difference
Credits : Ernst Weber! and called Weber’s Law
Weber's Law:
The JND between 2 stimuli is not an absolute amount but an amount relative to the intensity of the first stimulus.
Rajeev Chawla 64
CONCEPTS - cont
Corollary to Weber’s Law: The stronger the initial stimulus, the greater the additional intensity needed for the stimulus to be perceived as different.
Marketing Applications/Implications of JND:1) Negative changes are not readily discernable to the
public and2) Product improvements are very apparent to consumers
without being wastefully extravagant
EXAMPLES: • NEW COKE• PACKAGING CHANGES• PEPSI – packaging 1997, COKE – freshness in color
Rajeev Chawla 65
PERCEPTION – Is it a big deal!!!Or Is it much Ado About Nothing?
SUBLIMAL PERCEPTION:Stimulation below the levels of consciousness, but strong enough to be perceived by one or more of our receptor cellsThe stimulus is beneath the threshold, hence sublimal
THE CONCEPT OF SUPERLEARNING
EXAMPLES:• Super soft sublimal music with suggestions being put forth
through audio messages can actually induce positive buying behavior
• Sublimal visual messages with written suggestions induces purchase
Rajeev Chawla 66
PERCEPTION - cont
USAGE OF THE SUBLIMAL CONCEPT IN-STORE
Store audio + Music
Restaurants + Music
PERCEIVED PRICING IN PROMOTIONS
Perceived Price and the Cost Price : Effect on Psyche

Attitude consists of 3 components:
The Affective component:
The consumer’s emotions or feelings about a particular product or brand constitute the affective component of an attitude
Affect-laden experiences also manifest themselves as emotionally charged states; eg., happiness, sadness, shame, disgust, anger, distress, guilt, or surprise
Research indicates that such emotional states may enhance or amplify positive or negative experiences and that later recollections of such experiences may impact what comes to mind and how the individual acts

I)TRICOMPONENT ATTITUDE MODEL:
Attitude consists of 3 components:
The Conative Component:
Conation, is concerned with the likelihood or tendency that an individual will undertake a specific action or behave in a particular way with regard to the attitude object
According to some interpretation, the conative component is frequently treated as an expression of the consumer’s intention to buy

II) MULTIATTRIBUTE ATTITUDE MODEL:
The Attitude towards Object Model
This is suitable for measuring attitudes towards a product category or specific brands. The consumers attitude towards a product or service of a specific brand is a function of the presence or absence and evaluation of certain product-specific beliefs and/or attributes
Hence if the consumer evaluates an adequate level of attributes as positive, then they have a favorable attitude towards those brands
If the attributes are felt inadequate then the attitude towards the brand is unfavorable

II) MULTIATTRIBUTE ATTITUDE MODEL:
The Attitude towards Behavior Model
The attitude-towards-behavior model is the individuals attitude towards behaving or acting with respect to an object rather than the attitude itself
The appeal of the attitude-towards-behavior model is that it seems to correspond somewhat more closely to actual behavior than does the attitude-towards-object model

The Theory of Reasoned action Model
The theory of reasoned action represents a comprehensive integration of attitude components into a structure that is designed to lead to both better explanation and better predictions of behavior
Like the tri-component model it also incorporates a cognitive component, an affective component and a conative component; however these are arranged in a pattern different from that of the tri-component model

IV) ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE AD MODEL:
1) The consumer forms various feelings and judgments as a result of exposure to an ad.
2) This in turn affects the consumers attitude towards the ad and beliefs about the brand acquired from exposure to the ad
3) Finally the consumers attitude towards the ad and beliefs about the brand influence his attitude towards the brand

PersonalityDefinition:The inner psychological characteristics that both determine and reflect how a person responds to his or her environment
The Nature of Personality:3 distinct properties of personality are of central importance:
• Personality reflects individual differencesPeople as individuals are different. They could be adventurous, serious by nature, gregarious, lively, sad, mission oriented, etc
• Personality is consistent and enduringEven though consumer’s personalities may be consistent, their consumption behavior often varies considerably because of the various psychological, socio-cultural, environmental, and situational factors that affect behaviorHowever an individuals personality is consistent given these differences
• Personality can changeUnder certain circumstances, personalities change. Personality may be altered by major life events, such as birth of a child, death of a loved one, a divorce, significant career promotions

Personality: The Theories of Personality
Freudian theory:Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory of personality is a cornerstone of modern psychology
The premise of the theory is that: Unconscious needs or drives, especially sexual or other biological drives are at the heart of human motivation and personality
Freud constructed his theory on the basis of patient’s recollections of early childhood experiences, analysis of their dreams, and their specific nature of their mental and physical adjustment problems
Freud proposed that the human personality consists of three interacting systems: the Id, the Superego, and the Ego

Personality: The Theories of PersonalityFreudian theory:Freud proposed that the human personality consists of three interacting systems: the Id, the Superego, and the EgoId:
The Warehouse of primitive or instinctual needs for which individual seeks immediate satisfaction – basic physiological drives and needs such as thirst, hunger, and sex – for which individuals seek immediate satisfaction without concern for the specific means of satisfaction
Superego:The Individual’s internal expression of society’s moral and
ethical codes of conductThe Superego’s role is to see that the individual satisfies needs
in a socially acceptable fashion. It acts like a ‘brake’ that restrains or inhibits the impulsive forces of the Id
Ego:The Individual’s conscious control that balances the demands
of the id and superego. It functions as an internal monitor that attempts to balance the impulsive demands of the Id and the socio-cultural constraints of the superego

Personality: The Theories of Personality
Freudian theory:Freud emphasized that an individual’s personality is formed as he or she passes through a number of stages of infant, and childhood developmentThese are the oral, anal, phallic, latent, and genital stagesAccording to Freudian theory, an adult’s personality is determined by how well he or she deals with the crises that are experienced while passing through each of these stagesFor instance, if a child’s oral needs are not adequately satisfied at the first stage of development the person may become fixated at this stage and as an adult display a personality that includes such traits as dependence and excessive oral activity like gum chewing and smokingWhen an individual is fixated at the anal stage, the adult personality may display traits such as an excessive need for neatness

Personality: The Theories of Personality
Neo-Freudian theories:We seek goals to overcome feelings of inferiorityWe continually attempt to establish social relationships with others to reduce tensionsAlfred Alder viewed human beings as seeking to attain various rational goals, which he called style of life. He also placed much emphasis on the individual's efforts to overcome feelings of inferiorityHarry Stock Sullivan, another Neo-Freudian, stressed that people continuously attempt to establish significant and rewarding relationships with others Karen Horney was interested in child-parent relationships and desires to conquer feelings of anxiety. She proposed that individuals can be classified into three personality groups: Compliant, Aggressive, and Detached
• Compliant individuals move toward others, they desire to be loved, wanted, and appreciated
• Aggressive those individuals who move against others• Detached move away from others

The Trait Theory:Personality theory with a focus on psychological characteristicsTrait - any distinguishing, relatively enduring way in which one individual differs from anotherTrait theorists are concerned with the construction of personality tests that enable them to pinpoint individual differences in terms of specific traitsPersonality is linked to how consumers make their choices or to consumption of a broad product category - not a specific brand
Personality tests measure such traits as:• Consumer Innovativeness – how receptive a person is to new
experiences• Consumer Materialism – the degree of the consumer’s
attachment to ‘worldly possessions’ and• Consumer Ethnocentricity – the consumer’s likelihood to
accept or reject foreign-made products

• A deep interest in a particular object or product category• A Willingness to go to considerable lengths to secure additional
examples of the object or product category of interest and• The dedication of a considerable amount of discretionary time and
money to searching out the object or product

The Trait Theory:3. Consumer Ethnocentrism- Responses to Foreign-Made ProductsTo distinguish between consumer segments, that are likely to be receptive to foreign-made products and those that are not, researchers have developed ad tested the consumer ethnocentrism scale, called CETSCALEThe CETSCALE has been successful in identifying consumers with a predisposition to accept (or reject) foreign-made productsConsumers who are highly ethnocentric are likely to feel that it is appropriate or wrong to purchase foreign-made products because of the resulting economic impact on the domestic economy, whereas non-ethnocentric consumers tend to evaluate foreign-made products – ostensibly more objectively – for their extrinsic characteristicsEthnocentrism has been found to vary by country and productFor example:
– Mexican consumers, for example, have been found to be more ethnocentric than their French and American counterparts
– Some older American consumers still refuse to purchase German and/or Japanese products

Consumers attribute various descriptive personality traits or characteristics to different brands in a wide variety of product categoriesFor example, consumers see Brands as having the following charactristics:
Volvo is SafeNike represents the athlete in usBMW is a Performance driven machineLevi’s 501 is dependable and rugged
Such personality-like images of brands reflect consumers’ visions of the inner core of many strong brands of consumer products A Brand’s personality can be either functional, or symbolicAs long as it is strong and favorable, it will strengthen the brand

The Howard Sheth Model OR The Black Box Model
The Howard Sheth model shows the interaction of stimuli, consumer characteristics, decision process and consumer responses. It can be distinguished between interpersonal stimuli (between people) or intrapersonal stimuli (within people). The Howard Sheth model is related to the black box theory of behaviorism, where the focus is not set on the processes inside a consumer, but the relation between the stimuli and the response of the consumer. The marketing stimuli are planned and processed by the companies, whereas the environmental stimulus are given by social factors, based on the economical, political and cultural circumstances of a society. The buyers black box contains the buyer characteristics and the decision process, which determines the buyers response
The black box model considers the buyers response as a result of a conscious, rational decision process, in which it is assumed that the buyer has recognized the problem. However, in reality many decisions are not made in awareness of a determined problem by the consumer

The Howard Sheth Model OR The Black Box Model
INFORMATION SEARCH:Once the consumer has recognised a problem, they search for information on products and services that can solve that problem. Belch and Belch (2007) explain that consumers undertake both an internal (memory) and an external search
Sources of information include:• Personal sources • Commercial sources • Public sources • Personal experience
The relevant internal psychological process that is associated with information search is perception. Perception is defined as 'the process by which an individual receives, selects, organises, and interprets information to create a meaningful picture of the world'

Stage Description• Selective exposure consumers select which promotional
messages they will expose themselves to• Selective attention consumers select which promotional
messages they will pay attention to• Selective comprehension consumer interpret messages in
line with their beliefs, attitudes, motives and experiences• Selective retention consumers remember messages that are
more meaningful or important to themThe implications of this process help develop an effective promotional strategy, and select which sources of information are more effective for the brand

Purchase decision
Once the alternatives have been evaluated, the consumer is ready to make a purchase decision. Sometimes purchase intention does not result in an actual purchase. The marketing organization must facilitate the consumer to act on their purchase intention. The provision of credit or payment terms may encourage purchase, or a sales promotion such as the opportunity to receive a premium or enter a competition may provide an incentive to buy now. The relevant internal psychological process that is associated with purchase decision is integration

INFORMATION SEARCH:
Postpurchase evaluation
It is common for customers to experience concerns after making a purchase decision. This arises from a concept that is known as “cognitive dissonance”. The customer, having bought a product, may feel that an alternative would have been preferable. In these circumstances that customer will not repurchase immediately, but is likely to switch brands next time
To manage the post-purchase stage, it is the job of the marketing team to persuade the potential customer that the product will satisfy his or her needs. Then after having made a purchase, the customer should be encouraged that he or she has made the right decision
