PHI Learning MotivationalConflictand NeedPriorities Satisfying a particular need often comes at the expense of another need. These t rade-offs cause motivational conflict. Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar 21

PHI Learning TypesofMotivationalConflict Approach-approach: deciding between two desirable options Avoidance-avoidance: d eciding between two undesirable options Approach-avoidance: behaviour has both p ositive and negative consequences. Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar 22

PHI Learning ConsumerMotivation Represents the drive to satisfy both physiological and psychological needs throu gh product purchase and consumption. It gives insights into why people buy certa in products. Stems from consumer needs: industries have been built around basic human needs. Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar 23

PHI Learning MotivatedPurchase Conspicuous consumption: Purchases motivated to some extent by the desire to sho w other people how successful they are. Companies reinforce the consumer motivat ions notion that products enable users to communicate their social status. In ge neral, marketers try to create an image or personality for their brands.

PHI Learning Motivational Intensity Depends on: How strongly consumers are motivated to satisfy a particular need. I mportance of Involvement: Degree to which an object or behaviour is personally r elevant. Motivational intensity and involvement determine the amount of effort c onsumers exert in satisfying needs. Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar 31

PHI Learning TheChallengeofUnderstanding ConsumerMotivation Reasons underlying consumer motivation are not always obvious. Research is neces sary to discover real motivations behind behaviours. Consumers at times do not a lways want to disclose real reasons for their particular choice or actions. Cons umers do not always know why they do what they do: unconscious motivation. Motiv ations change over time. Let us take an example of car buying and its underlying motivations. Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar 32

PHI Learning Perception is Reality LOUIS CHESKIN 52 Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar

PHI Learning Perception Process by which sensations are selected, organized, and interpreted Adding meaning to raw sensations 53 Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar

PHI Learning Elements of Perception Sensation Absolute threshold Differential threshold Subliminal threshold 54 Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar

PHI Learning Sensation Immediate response of our sensory receptors eyes, ears, nose, mouth, fingers to basi c stimuli such as light, colour, sound, odour, and texture advertisements, brand na mes, commercials, and packages depends on the sensitivity of the individual 55 Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar

PHI Learning The Absolute Threshold The lowest level at which an individual can experience a sensation. The point wh ich differentiates between something and nothing. Example: Absolute threshold of dri ver driving on highway to notice billboard. Adaptation: Getting used to certain se nsation. 56 Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar

PHI Learning Attention The extent to which processing activity is devoted to a particular stimulus Competition for our attention 3,500 ad info pieces per day Multitasking Marketer s need to break through the clutter Microsofts butterfly decals on sidewalks 3D l ogos on cricket grounds 57 Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar

PHI Learning The Differential Threshold The minimal detectable difference between two similar stimuli (just ifference). Its not at all the absolute difference. Its an amount intensity of the first stimulus. The stronger the initial stimulus, the additional intensity needed for second stimulus to be perceived iated. 58 Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar noticeable d relative to the the greater as different

PHI Learning Marketing Applications of the JND Need to determine the relevant JND for the products so that negative changes are not readily discernible to the public. product improvements are quite visible to consumers. 59 Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar

PHI Learning Gradual Changes in Brand Name 60 Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar

PHI Learning Subliminal Perception Perception of very weak or rapid stimuli received below the level of conscious a wareness 61 Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar

PHI Learning Perceptual Selection Stimulus Selection Factors Webers Law Differences in size, colour, position, and novelty Interpretation: ass igned meaning to stimuli Schema leads to stimulus evaluation 62 Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar

PHI Learning Webers Law A theory concerning the perceived differentiation between similar stimuli of var ying intensities (i.e. the stronger the initial stimulus, the greater the additi onal intensity needed for the second stimulus to be perceived as different). 63 Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar

PHI Learning Perceptual Selection Depends on two major factors Consumers previous experience (expectations) Consumers motives 64 Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar

PHI Learning Some Marketing Variables Influencing Consumer Perception Nature of the product Physical attributes of the product Package design Brand na me Advertisements and commercials Position of an ad 65 Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar

PHI Learning Concepts Concerning Selective Perception Selective exposure Selective attention Perceptual defense Perceptual blocking 66 Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar

PHI Learning Stimulus Organization Stimulus interpretation is associated with other related events, sensations, or images Gestalt: The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The Closure PrinciplePeople tend to perceive an incomplete picture as complete. T he Principle of SimilarityGroups objects share similar characteristics. The Figur eGround PrincipleOne part of the stimulus will dominate (the figure/background). 67 Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar

PHI Learning Gestalt Laws of Grouping The primary purpose of the visual system is the recognition of objects from basi c visual elements. The objects are seen as more than a sum of the parts, and the critical problem facing the visual system is how to group the elements to form objects. 68 Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar

PHI Learning Demonstration of the Importance of Objects over Elements When elements are arranged in groups that define an object, we tend to see the o bject and not the elements. FFFFFFF FF FFFF FF FFFFFFF vs. EEEEEE EE EEEE EE EEEEEE 69 Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar

PHI Learning Law of Proximity Things that are relatively close to one another tend to be grouped together. 70 Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar

PHI Learning The Law of Similarity Items that look similar will be seen as parts of the same form. 71 Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar

PHI Learning The Law of Good Continuation The tendency to perceive unseen parts of a pattern as continuing in a predictabl e and simple manner. 72 Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar

PHI Learning The Law of Closure Often, an object is partly occluded by other objects in our environment, and the visual system must fill in the missing information. 73 Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar

PHI Learning A Related Phenomenon Illusory Contours 74 Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar

PHI Learning The Law of Common Fate Elements of visual perception that move together are seen as forming a common ob ject. 75 Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar

PHI Learning Figuring out what the objects are The Gestalt principles help us to understand how we figure out what the objects are, and how to interpret them. However, they do not explain how we figure out w hat an object is once we realize it is an object. 80 Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar

PHI Learning Consumer Beliefs Consumer Attitudes Consumer Feelings Consumer Intentions Consum er Behaviour Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar 100

PHI Learning Beliefs are the knowledge and inferences that a consumer has about products/bran ds and possible benefits derived from using them. Beliefs result from cognitive learning. Attribute importance springs from: A persons assessment of the signific ance of an attribute. The amount of attention directed to it. A persons self-conc ept, advertising, and the salience of the attribute can influence the attention focussed on it. Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar 101

PHI Learning Brand distinctiveness: Consumer perception of a brand and companys marketing effo rt leads to developing certain personality of each brand, e.g. Tanishq Jewellery . Inferential beliefs: Information about one product of a company makes consumer s to form belief about another, price-quality beliefs, partially comparative pri cing, e.g. Akai TV, Big Bazaar retail. Consumer confusion: Insufficient/conflict ing information, mistaken identity, irrelevant ad slogan/appeal, change in the b rands key focus and positioning, e.g. Marie biscuits (Britannia, Parle).

PHI Learning Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar 104

PHI Learning Beliefs Companies or Retailers mark up prices before putting them up on sale. Di scounts offered by reputed companies are genuine reduction in prices. Examples Bargaining behaviour Wait for the discount announcement Celebrities are admired by their followers though Success of soaps and they do n ot use the product they endorse. cosmetics Lower price generally means inferior quality. Higher priced brands are not superior in quality by the same degree of multiplier. Shopping in a big departmental store saves money. Packaged ready-toeat food items marketed in India are generally not fresh. Positioning at a lower quality end, as done by Haier, Lenovo Big Bazaar, Subhiksha Limited success of MTR, ITC foods Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar 105

PHI Learning As part of Advertising Experience: Influence on viewers moods, attitudes, recall, a ffinity, Examples: Hamara Bajaj Campaign, Amul ButterUtterly, butterly delicious As part of Shopping Experience: Influence of availability, environment/ambience Exampl es: Maruti service centres, Cafe Coffee Day, Brista coffee As part of Consumption Experience: Influence consumers consumption evaluation Examples: Vanilla Coke, Blu e Pepsi, Asian Paints Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar 106

PHI Learning Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar 107

PHI Learning Desirable Attributes create positive attitudes Example: Health drinks Attitudes are: a kind of feeling for or against a stimulus; stored in long-term memory; the cog nitive knowledge about an object; predicted by beliefs in high involvement purch ase situations.

PHI Learning Utilitarian function: Used to obtain rewards and avoid punishments Ego-defensive function: Self-protection Example: mouthwash Knowledge function: Simplifies dec isions Example: Forming of loyalty to certain brands Value-expressive function: Expresses identity to others Example: use of (IIM-C) labelled t-shirts Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar 112

PHI Learning Direct formation Corresponds to the decision-making perspective and cognitive le arning. Linked to the experiential perspective. Classical conditioning/Associati ve learning: Positive affect is attached to objectusing a jingle. Mere exposurefre quent exposure to stimulus increases ones desire for it.

PHI Learning Changing Consumer Attitudes: Changing Beliefs Firms hope that changing beliefs about products will result in more favourable p roduct attitudes and influence what consumers buy. If beliefs are false, they sh ould be brought into harmony with reality and then stabilized and reinforced. If beliefs are accurate, it may be necessary to change the product. Comparative ad vertising can hurt beliefs about a competitive brand Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar 120 120

PHI Learning Changing Consumer Attitudes: Changing Attribute Importance Changing an attributes importance is more difficult than changing a belief. How i s a brand perceived relative to ideal performance? Increasing attribute importan ce is desirable when the competitors brand is farther from the ideal point than y our product. Firms may add a new attribute which necessitated NPD or product rev ision. Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar 121 121

PHI Learning Changing Consumer Attitudes: Changing Ideal Points Altering consumers preferences for what the Ideal product should look like. It is far more difficult than any other approach in changing consumers, attitude s toward brand and product. Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar 122

PHI Learning Involvement What is Involvement ? Perceived relevance of the object of consideration based o n inherent needs, values and interests A general level of interest in or concern about an object or activity without reference to a specific position Types of Involvement Situational (Purchase-Decision) Involvement The level of co ncern/care the consumer brings to bear on a particular purchase decision Endurin g Involvement The level of interest the buyer maintains for a class of product/a ctivity, well beyond the specific purchase situation 128 Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar

PHI Learning ImpactofCulture onConsumerBehaviour Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar 269

PHI Learning WhatisCulture? Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar 270

PHI Learning CULTURE Culture is a combination of learned beliefs, values and customs that can direct the behaviour of consumers in a specific society. Knowledge & beliefs In India, hard work is attributed with success. Values Customs Turban is worn by male members of the Sikh religion in India. Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar 271

PHI Learning Characteristics of Culture Characteristics Culture is learned rather than being born with. Culture is manifested within bou ndaries of acceptable behaviour. Transmitted from generation to generation. Ritu als practiced. Dress sense(Sari is the traditional Indian dress while jeans, skir ts, frock, etc. are considered more modern. Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar 272

PHI Learning Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar 273 273

PHI Learning Cultural rules can be categorized into three types Formal Rules Explicit standards as to how one should behave, and violations often carry sever e sanctions. Informal Rules Technical Rules Involve implicit standards as to what constitutes a good product. In Bollywood, normally a Hindi movie must have at least five good songs to be successful. Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar 274

PHI Learning Sub-cultures Sub-cultures consist of ethnic groups such as regional, linguistic, rural vs. ur ban, family composition, economic strata etc. Variations seen within a culture. These groups have common traditions, heritage, beliefs, customs and experiences that would differentiate different sub-cultures. For example, there are certain common aspects in the Indian culture but almost each state in the country reflec ts a sub-culture. Dress, eating habits, customs etc. are somewhat unique in diff erent parts of India and also, the life style pattern varies. Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar 275

PHI Learning Indian Teenagers in contrast to Western Teenagers Western teenagers Grew up in relative economic stability. Confronted by new realities: drugs, AIDs , pollution, teenage pregnancy, divorce, etc. Less sheltered home environment an d unstable family life. From young age itself learn to be independent and make t heir own choices in life. More independent and self-sufficient. Focus early on t hings they believe would provide for a secure and happy life, like earning money , spending culture or material possession and acquisition. A more stressful life as self-esteem is vested in doing well in multi-faceted roles. Indian teenagers Grew up in period of fast economic growth with good prospects. Confronted by new realities through the mass media but with few real-life experiences. Have more sheltered home environment and stable family life. Youth live with family of ori gin until their marriage. Are less independent and self-sufficient. Are idealist ic in their expectations and tend to deal only with issues that touch them perso nally. Lead a less stressful life as achievement in studies is paramount and oth er matters appear secondary. 276 Consumer Behaviour: Insights from Indian MarketRamanuj Majumdar
