Consumers recognize unfulfilled needs and wants through:
-when current products not performing-or run out of product

The general process used as a guide for studying how consumers make decisionsFactors affecting external search:
-the greater the risk of failure and the greater the interest the more the consumer searches for information

The general process used as a guide for studying how consumers make decisions
5. Postpurchase behaviour – how well product/service meets expectations determines whether satisfied or not
-marketing manager has to reduce any doubt
-when inconsistencey between values and behaviour it is called cognitive dissonance
12
![Page 13: 1 Chapter 3 Instructor Shan A. Garib, S2013. The stages that consumers pass when making choices about which products/services to buy 1. Need recognition](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e8a5503460f94b8f599/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Involvement: level depends on personal, social, and economic consequences of the purchase at that momentAll consumer buying decisions fall within three categories:

13
![Page 14: 1 Chapter 3 Instructor Shan A. Garib, S2013. The stages that consumers pass when making choices about which products/services to buy 1. Need recognition](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e8a5503460f94b8f599/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Frequently purchased, low cost products are associated with routine response behaviour
-such products can also be called low involvement products
-usually consumers are familiar with products in this category but stick with one brand/product
-usually don’t experience needs recognition until they see ads or see product on shelfs
-consumers here buy first and eval. Later-opposite of extensive decisions
14
![Page 15: 1 Chapter 3 Instructor Shan A. Garib, S2013. The stages that consumers pass when making choices about which products/services to buy 1. Need recognition](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e8a5503460f94b8f599/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Extensive Decision Making – consumers buying unfamiliar, expensive products or infrequently bought item
-most complex type of consumer buying decision and is associated with high consumer involvement
-consumer wants to make the right decision so they want to know as much as possible about the product
-usually experience cognitave dissonance

Limited Decision making – consumer has previous product experience but unfamiliar with current brands available
-associated with lower levels of involvment because consumers spend moderate amoun of searchign for information or considering alternatives
-if ususal brand is sold out then consumver will evaluate otehr brands before buying
16
