The Buying Decision Process

When making a decision to buy a product from many competing products, a
consumer unknowingly passes through a few stages of the decision process. There
are five stages and each stage motivates the buyer to purchase. Only one stage is
concerned with actual purchasing. Sometimes, the consumer does not pass through
all the five stages before purchasing a product.

Need Arousal is the first stage of a buying decision process. The need for a given
product is activated by internal and external stimuli. The marketer creates awareness
for his product through sales promotion and advertising. The external stimuli helps to
arouse the consumer’s need for the product while internally, physiological imbalance
such as hunger, thirst, warmth, etc. which are primarily unlearned makes a person
recognize a need. The consumer recognizes a significant difference in his perceived
desire and actual position. He thereafter responds by searching for a product that can
satisfy the identified need.

The consumer having sufficiently been motivated to satisfy a need searches for
information about every product brand that can perfectly match the need. If a suitable
product is available for an urgently felt need, the consumer quickly purchases the
product. However, in most cases, consumers do not purchase products immediately
the products are brought to their awareness. At this stage, consumers look for
further information, and the intensity and duration of this depends on their past
experience together with the importance of the product.

Different products are identified through intensive and passive searches. Passive
search involves the consumer reading information about the product on the Internet
or in newspapers, magazines and other published materials.

Intensive, or heightened search is where the consumer actively searches for
information from many sources, while moving from one place to another. These
sources include personal sources such as family, friends, neighbors, acquaintances,
associates and members of his social group whose opinions he trusts and respects.

Commercial Sources

The consumer pays close attention to commercial messages through advertising,
packaging, talking to salespeople, sales promotion and point of purchase displays.

Public Sources

These provide messages from mass media publicity, government reports, news and
product-testing companies.

These messages are objective, reliable and factual. The motivated consumer tries to
get a feel for the product through his senses. He tastes a sample, tests the product
during a demonstration by the salesperson; this can be achieved by having a trial or
testing period, where he can handle the product to judge its suitability. All these
sources present the consumer with a large number of alternative products and
information on the features of the product, like packaging, operating manual, pricing,
warranty, etc. The product has features or characteristics that attracts
consumers/customers to buying or using it.

Empirical research confirmed that consumers use their cognition consciousness and
rational judgment to examine products before making their purchases.

They evaluate by comparing products in order to make a choice. Evaluation takes the
following dimensions or guiding rules: Those features of interest to the consumers are
listed for further analysis. These consist of performance, taste, color, physical
appearance, packaging, range, price etc. Consumers are asked to list what they prefer
in the product. The preferred attributes of competing products is used to attach
weight or priority or rank the attributes to facilitate ranking, the consumer uses brand
belief or image of each brand (if any) to compare one product with other products.

This evaluation establishes the position of each product in relation to the important
attributes.

Other evaluation criteria and techniques use quantitative and qualitative models to
apply objectivity. They consist of dominance, conjunctive, disjunctive, lexicographic,
expectancy and ideal-product, compensatory and determinant models.

In the Dominance model, the customer lists all his preferred attributes and rates all
available alternative products with the attribute; the product with superiority in many
attributes over others is retained while the inferior quality brands are dropped.

In the Conjunctive model, all products are classified into two groups (acceptable and
unacceptable) based on the minimum attributes that a product must meet.  
Unacceptable products are those that fall short of minimum specification and are
eliminated from further consideration.

The disjunctive model only sets in if the consumer only has to pick from products
whose attributes exceed the specified minimum attributes.

In the Lexicographic model, a single dominant attribute which is common to all
products is used to rank them.

The product with the highest score becomes the consumer's choice. If two or more
products have the same score, the consumer uses the next best attribute to compare
each product with others. This process is repeated until a surviving product that has
the highest total score is identified while the rest are eliminated.

The Expectancy model is when the consumer identifies attributes of importance and
assigns a weight that represents degrees of preference to each attribute. The
resultant score is obtained by the aggregate of weights of each attribute, multiplied by
the performance level of the product for each attribute.

In the Ideal product model, the consumer forms an image of his ideal product. He lists
many attributes that the product must possess. If the current products do not have
the attributes he desires, he selects the one whose attribute is closer to the ideal
product. To capitalize on the opportunity offered by this model, a marketer can
interview consumers to find two or more ideal attributes of interest and build these
into his product.

Under the Compensatory model, also known as Multi-attribute model, the product
chosen is the one that has the overall balance of favored features across all attributes.

There is also the Determinant Attribute Model, which states that attributes of
importance sometimes do not significantly influence consumers choices among
competitive products whose attributes are similar.

The choice of product may be made because of a less important attribute that
differentiates the product.
If you read this far, it is an indication that consumer buying behavior is of great
interest to you.
