Low Involvement Decision Making
• Low Involvement Theories and Implications– Krugman’s Passive Learning Theory– Sherif’s Social Judgment Theory– Petty and Cacioppo’s Elaboration
Likelihood Model

Belief Formation
Comparative Evaluation/Purchase
Post-Purchase Evaluations
Hierarchy of Effects: Beliefs, (information processing), evaluations, behavior
Krugman: Passive Learning• Exposure to TV ads = passive learning (not active
learning)– WHY??
• So TV ads: create brand recall without changing attitudes
• May only remember brand name (Bubble Yum) and some basic beliefs about the brand name. But haven’t decided whether you like it or dislike it.
• So: how does exposure to TV advertising lead to buying the brand???– Hierarchy of effects says “evaluation” has to come before
Low Involvement Products: Different Hierarchy of Effects
(Krugman)• Memory of Brand name; and some beliefs
• Can be enough to create Product Purchase
• When you are in the store: you see the brand -- you remember seeing an ad for it; remember some beliefs
• And you buy the brand without really knowing whether you like it or dislike it.
Hierarchy of Effects
• High Involvement:Beliefs (Awareness) Attitude
Behavior• Low Involvement:Beliefs (Awareness) Behavior Attitude
Belief can simply be “I remember this brand name” (no evaluation)
Implications for Marketing Strategies????
What should you do if you’re selling a low-involvement product?
Implications…
• Repeated Advertising• Memorable brand name (“Bubble
Yum”)• Point-of-purchase (POP) display in
store• Putting brand at end of shelf
position in store
Sherif’s Social Judgment Theory
• Latitude of Acceptance (LOA)– range of positions with which individual agrees
• Latitude of Rejection (LOR)– range of positions with which individual disagrees
• Latitude of Noncommitment (LON)– range of positions with which individual is neutral
• High Involvement: Narrow LON; Narrow LOA; Wide LOR.
• Low Involvement: Wide LON; Wide LOA; Narrow LOR
Opinions of HK universities (bad, good, neutral…)
Difference between highly-involved person
Vs. Low-involved person
Universities… LOA, LON, LOR• High
Involvement• HKUST• CUHK• HKU • City U• HK Poly• Baptist• Lingnan
• Low Involvement• HKUST• CUHK• HKU • City U• HK Poly• Baptist• Lingnan
Implications
• High involvement:– Wide LOR; Narrow LOA = only willing to accept a
few brands – I.e., very few brands make it past the “acceptable” level
• Implication: Brand quality important
• Low involvement:– Wide LOA; Narrow LOR = willing to accept a lot
of brands; but passively -- won’t go searching for different brands
• Implication: availability important
Assignment…
Elaboration Likelihood Model
How people watch Advertising under low vs. high involvement…
Elaboration Likelihood Model
• High involvement: – consumers evaluate ad and product carefully– what the ad says about the product’s attributes – peripheral cues (non-product material such as??) less
important
• Low involvement:– consumers do not evaluate ad carefully– what the ad says about attributes not so important– peripheral cues quite important (e.g., endorser,
music, nice pictures, etc.)
Implications for Advertising
• High Involvement• Ad should have lot or
little information?• Use of attractive
non-product features (cues) or product benefits?
• Print ads or tv ads?• High or low
Repetition?
• Low Involvement• Ad should have lot or
little information?• Use of attractive
non-product features (cues) or product benefits?
• Print ads or tv ads?• High or low
Repetition?
Creating A Model of Low Involvement Decision Making
(using the three theories discussed …)
Complex Decision Making
Problem Recognition/Need Arousal
Information AcquisitionInformation Processing=
Belief Formation
Comparative Evaluation/Purchase
Post-Purchase Evaluations
Hierarchy of Effects: Beliefs, (information processing), evaluations, behavior
Low vs. High InvolvementLow Involvement
• Problem Recognition– Routine
• Search– few sources (ad); passive
• Evaluation and Decision– few attributes like price
and awareness; peripheral cues
– decision at point of purchase
– acceptable solution– often, liking after trial
High Involvement• Problem Recognition
– Planning
• Search– many sources; active
• Evaluation and Decision– many attributes
(peripheral cues not important)
– decision before point of purchase
– optimal solution– liking before trial
Marketing Implications for Low Involvement Purchases
• Not too many attributes used in decision. Often only price used.– marketing implication??
• Decision often made in the store (not before)– marketing implications?
• Will not actively search for brands or visit many stores– Distribution implication?
• Liking for brand may only come after product trial– So if you want to make them like the product?
Marketing Implications Contd...Advertising
• Advertising should focus on key points• High repetition• TV advertising
– captive audience– extended coverage
• Use of likable peripheral cues– visual cues; pleasant music

HABIT

HIGH INVOLVEMENT
PURCHASE DECISION
LOW INVOLVEMENT
PURCHASE DECISION
Limited Decision Making
• Low involvement, but not buying same brand again
• Switching to different brand – so some consideration of other brands; some effort in decision making
• Switching occurs because of:– boredom: what is this type of limited decision
making called?– new product attribute
Final topic: Unplanned purchases
• Low involvement purchases are often unplanned
• Not all unplanned purchases are low involvement– impulse purchases (examples??)
Quiz 2: Wednesday (March 19)• 6-7 pm; be in your seats by 5.55 pm!!• Venue: LTJ• No dictionaries allowed • Multiple choice questions (1 for correct; -.25 for incorrect; 0 for
no answer)• Same rules: pick best answer; professor’s decision final
• Materials: all lecture notes after Quiz 1 (not including Project lecture).
• Book: – Chapter 4: pg. 103-134– Chapter 5: pg. 141-173 (except for “types of
unplanned purchases -- pg. 152”; and “FCB grid” on pp: 164-165)
– GOOD LUCK!!!
