Whether the product is high or low involvement should also be considered. Low involvement products tend to be less expensive and have little affect on the consumers’ life. Instant gratification sales promotions will work best for these products. The less impact a product has on a consumers’ life, the less likely they will…

The psychology of buying anything resolute from their egos. Is it status, buyers are seeking for or is it the value and self-gain? The illusion that people with more assets have it all figured out and are content has encouraged people to seek the same prospects. The author explains, “Everything Now is an extreme example of an individualistic society, hence our tendency is to egocentric, focusing on the improvement of one’s self and circumstances, with the self- actualization at the zenith” (McKevitt 146). To check off an item on the fulfillment list only evokes the next item down; seemingly an endless cycle of temporary satisfaction. Personal fulfillment remains an important factor. Advertisers manipulated the consumers into believing the wants in life are needs. It has become a necessity to people to keep buying a product even though the product has less advanced. This ideology lies from people’s self-actualization and esteem: fulfillment, achievement, status, and reputation, in between: “[I]ndividual is paramount” (Mckevitt 146). In developed nations, there is an emphasis on individualism and advertisers use this strategy to evoke a willingness to buy in favor improving self-esteem. Consumers make purchase decisions based off their emotions and are easily persuaded when advertisers engage with consumer on a personal…
High Involvement: My recent high involvement purchase was an Infinity FX35. This purchase was a $57000 automobile that required effort and thought to purchase. This vehicle also represents an impact to my debt to income ratio and required a nominal loan that would influence my monthly cash flow over a period of time. High involvement purchase here is linked to high cost, my expression of status and ego. This was also an emotional purchase as I chose to purchase a product that fit my culture, my personal expectations of status and the immediate purchasing power that this represents. I know that a new car would represent a 40% loss of equity within a three year period but this represents a decision that was based on an acceptable level of risk. Recognizing the need for a new car that fit my wants, doing research and test driving multiple vehicles in this class, buying and evaluating post purchase are all solid steps in the purchase decision process (PDP). Actual branding of a luxury sport crossover played the most significant role in…
Now more than ever, marketers must undertake efforts to gain a comprehensive understanding of the various influences on customers' buying…
[pic]he FCB Grid (Vaughn, 1980, 1986) uses involvement (high-low) and think/feel as the two dimensions for classifying product categories. This classification suggests that purchase decisions are different when thinking is mostly involved and others are dominantly involved with feeling. In addition, different situations also exist, resulting in decision-making processes, which require either, more or less involvement. The product category matrix is fabricated using these two dimensions. Vaughn indicates that the horizontal side of the matrix is based on the hypothesis that over time there is consumers’ movement from thinking toward feeling. Also, Vaughn believes that high and low involvement (the vertical side of the matrix) is also a continuum, proposing that high involvement can decay to relatively low involvement over time. Vaughn developed a planning model by pulling together the major theories of consumer behavior and advertising to make the FCB Grid. Vaughn (1980) reviewed four traditional theories of advertising effectiveness from which effects on marketing have been noticeable. These four theories are Economic, Responsive, Psychological, and Social theories. Each theory is applicable to the four quadrants in the FCB Grid, and definitions and applications of each four traditional theories of the grid will be covered in the explanations later. Furthermore, Berger (1986) also referred to four different theories into human behavior in his paper to approach to the FCB Grid. According to Berger (1986), insight into human behavior can be viewed differently, depending on the theory. Socialists favor the theory of economic man, the search for value, the need for information with advertising seen purely as information - applicable to Economic theory. Freudian and other psychological theory gives us the notion of behavior governed by unconscious impulses - applicable to Psychological theory. There is also Pavlovian theory of purchases influenced by conditioning…
He states that this allows for two major influences on decision making. The first influence is if people hold a bias to favor one decision over another, then that will alter how they perceive the product. They will solely make a decision on that bias and keep to it. In our book, it explains this with brand equity. The outcome shows that a consumer will decide based on the belief that this brand is better than all of the others and not think twice to purchase.…
This report provides an analysis of situational decision-making (SDM) in marketing, the shopping process, how different situations affect buyers, the behavioral factors and the perceptual factors. The research draws attention to the fact that shopping process is a set of stages that customers intend to go through in order to satisfy their needs and wants. It will also determine how the SDM model is useful for the marketers when promoting their brand. The major finding shows that every time a consumer purchases a product or a service they show forms of buying behavior that are persuaded by many factors. Although earlier research in buyer behavior emphasized the individual and personality variables like motives, satisfaction, and predisposition (Howard and Sheth 1967), similarly Belk (1975) suggested that consumer behavior might be a function of the interaction between the individual and the situation. Situational decision-making model involves choosing an adequate course of action before making any decision; decision makers first identify the problems. Gather information, evaluate possible solutions and estimate the outcomes. These are the crucial steps in the decision-making process. The objective is to take a situation from its current circumstances and move it towards a final decision. Consumers differ as to their beliefs about what product benefits and attributes are more (or less) important and relevant in satisfying their needs. Based on their personal judgment on importance of benefits and attributes, consumers develop a set of attitudes (or preferences) toward the various brands. One may express his/her preferences of the brands in terms of ranking, probability of choice, and so forth. Understanding the shopping process helps businesses to align their sales and marketing strategy accordingly.…
Much of today’s marketing research focuses on advertising and its effective or ineffective aspects. Research that focuses on the consumer and the motives behind consumers’ purchasing behaviors can be highly relevant; it can help companies better understand their target customers and it can help consumers become more conscious decision makers. Whether a consumer decides to make a high-risk purchasing decision or a low-risk purchasing decision depends on their forecasted emotions resulting from the purchase, their self-esteem, and their ability to pursue and maintain certain types of goals. High-risk spending, also known as “splurging,” can be the result of a negative mood, various components of low-self esteem, and a lack of long-term, attainable goals. Low-risk spending, also known as “saving,” can be the result of a positive mood, various components of high self-esteem, and the presence of important long-term goals.…
The amount of time and money a potential customer is willing to spend on researching information about a product, depends on the perceived risks and values of the product, as well as personal interest, motivation and the benefits of purchasing it. The “[…] motivation to process information […]” (Solomon, Bamossy, Askegaard and Hogg, 2010, p. 192) differs considerably based on the customers level of involvement (high or low involvement) within the decision making process. The objective of this essay is to identify the differences between high and low involvement buying, while applying the theoretical knowledge to the recently published “Chrysler Delta” and “Rimmel London” lipstick advertisements.…

Customers tend to put more time and effort into making informed decisions when purchases are more involving. Big ticket items, those intended for long-term use, and other products of personal importance are all more involving than routine, everyday items like shampoo and milk. A December 2010 article from marketing agency DMN3 indicated that rational appeals typically have more influence on big ticket purchases. Companies still use emotion in messages, but customers need to see more facts and sound, logical reasons to buy when they put more time into their decisions.…
Self-referencing (SR) is defined as a cognitive processing strategy where a consumer relates message information to his or her self structure (Burnkrant and Unnava 1995). From this perspective, the self represents a frequently-used construct in memory that aids the elaboration of encoded information. Hence, self-referenced information is more easily associated with previously stored information. A general definition of consumer involvement refers to the level of perceived personal importance, interest or relevance evoked by a stimulus or stimuli, which are linked by the consumer to enduring or situation-specific goals. Such stimuli can be products, services, product categories, brands, purchase decisions or advertisements (Beharrell & Dennison, 1995; Juhl & Poulsen, 2000; Mitchell, 1979; Zaichkowsky, 1985). In the present paper the effect of SR and involvement on consumer behavior is investigated. It is hypothesized that both SR and involvement have a great role to play in consumer behavior and are tools that can be used to improve marketing strategies. The following literature reviews attempt to demonstrate and support this hypothesis.…

When discussed about consumer participation in the commercial act, the relationship between 'Flow' , 'Situational involvement' and 'Enduring involvement' is often mentioned. Flow is one of the most suitable and ideal experience (Adam, 2009), according to the theory of motivation mentioned that 'flow' is a kind of appropriate state of mind with pleasant when a person feels that things are under control, or I am proficient in something. Thereby, they can feel happy and to enjoy this scene of satisfaction (Csikszentmihalyi, 1990). Study shows enduring involvement will lead to intrinsic motivation, situational involvement triggered extrinsic motivation (Laurent & Kapferer, 1985; Richins & Bloch, 1986). According to studies, flow and situational involvement will lead to concentration of attention with stimulating to some certain and limited areas,…
