  13. WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND SOME BASIC TERMINOLOGIES, WHICH WE WILL BE USING IN THIS SUBJECT: COSTUMER A person who regularly purchases products or hire services from a particular store or service provider.

  17. Why we study consumer behavior..? 1: Significance in Daily Lives: • Much of our time is spent directly in the marketplace. • The goods we purchase and the manner in which we use them significantly influence how we live our daily lives. So it plays very basic role in our daily lives.

  18. 2: Application to Decision Making: • Consumers are often studied because certain decisions are affected by their behavior or expected actions. • Such applications can exist at two different levels of analysis. • 1: Micro perspective: • 2: Societal perspective:

  19. 1. Micro Perspective: • The micro perspective involves understanding consumers for the purpose of helping a firm or organization accomplish its objectives. Advertising managers, product designers, etc • are interested in understanding consumers in order to be more effective at their tasks.

  20. 2. Societal Perspective: • On the macro or aggregate level consumers collectively influence economic and social conditions within an entire society. For example • Strong desire of consumers for private auto mobile influenced government to produce latest model cars and infrastructure in USA.

  22. 2: Target-Market Selection: • The process of finding market opportunities. For example: There were labors in different organizations of USA who were suffering from bad smell an organization produced a new soap by the name of Colgate Palmolive soap specially for them.

  23. 3: Marketing-Mix Determination: • This stage involves developing and implementing a strategy for delivering an effective combination of want-satisfying features to consumers within target market.

  24. Product: • How should it be packaged? • What aspects of services are most important to consumers? • What types of warranties and service programs should be provided. • What types of accessories and associated products should be offered?

  25. Price: • Marketers make decisions about the price for products or services and any changes to those prices. • How much price reduction is needed to increase the sales during new-product introductions. • What discount should be given to those who pay with cash?

  26. Place: • Where should they be located, and how many should be there? • What arrangements are needed to distribute products to retailers.
