Three-Stage Model of Service Consumption
PRE-PURCHASE STAGE
SERVICE ENCOUNTER STAGE
POST-ENCOUNTER STAGE
PRE-PURCHASE STAGE
- NEED AWARENESS
- INFORMATION SEARCH
- EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVES
IS THE BEGINNING OF THE PRE-PURCHASE STAGE
NEED AWARENESS
NEEDS MAY BE TRIGGERED BY
- PEOPLE’S UNCONSCIOUS MIND
- PHYSICAL CONDITIONS
- EXTERNAL SOURCES
HAPPENS ONCE A NEED HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED, AND CUSTOMERS ARE MOTIVATED TO SEARCH FOR SOLUTIONS TO SATISFY THAT NEED.
INFORMATION SEARCH
SEVERAL ALTERNATIVES THAT COME AND FORM IN OUR MIND CAN BE DELIVERED FROM PAST EXPERIENCES OR EXTERNAL SOURCES.
EVOKED SET
A NARROWED DOWN FEW ALTERNATIVES TO SERIOUSLY CONSIDER
CONSIDERATION SET
HOLDS THAT CONSUMERS USE SERVICE ATTRIBUTES THAT ARE IMPORTANT IN EVALUATING AND COMPARING ALTERNATIVE OFFERINGS IN THEIR CONSIDERATION SET.
MULTI-ATTRIBUTE MODEL
HELP TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE FORMATION PROCESS OF CUSTOMER SATISFACTION.
MULTI-ATTRIBUTE MODEL
TWO COMMON DECISION RULES TO DECIDE
LINEAR COMPENSATORY RULE
CONJUCTIVE RULE
THIS IS DONE BY MULTIPLYING THE SCORE FOR THE DRY CLEANER ON EACH ATTRIBUTE BY THE IMPORTANCCE WEIGHT.
LINEAR COMPENSATORY RULE
THE CONSUMER WILL DECIDE BASED ON THE TOTLA OVERALL SCORE IN CONJUNCTION WITH MINIMUM PERFORMANCE LEVELS ON ONE OR SEVERAL ATTRIBUTES
CONJUNCTIVE RULE
EVALUATING ALTERNATIVE SERVICE ATTRIBUTES (ENUMERATION)
- SEARCH ATTRIBUTES
- EXPERIENCE ATTRIBUTES
- CREDENCE ATTRIBUTES
THEY ARE TANGIBLE CHARACTERISTICS THAT CUSTOMERS CAN EVALUATE BEFORE PURCHASE
SEARCH ATTRIBUTES
IT HELPS THE CUSTOMERS EVALUATE THE PRODUCT BEFORE PURCHASE
SEARCH ATTRIBUTES
THEY CANNOT BE EVALUATED BEFORE PURCHASE.
EXPERIENCE ATTRIBUTES

HIKING
EXPERIENCE ATTRIBUTES
ARE CHARACTERISTICS THE CUSTOMERS FIND HARD TO EVALUATE EVEN AFTER CONSUMPTIONS.
CREDENCE ATTRIBUTES
THE CUSTOMER IS FORCED TO BELIEVE OR TRUST THAT CERTAIN TASKS HAVE BEEN PERFORMED AT THE PROMISED LEVEL OF QUALITY
CREDENCE ATTRIBUTES
REFERS TO THE CUSTOMER’S PERCEPTION OF THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH ANY PURCHASE
PERCEIVED RISK
WHAT ARE THE TYPE OF RISK
- FUNCTIONAL (UNSATISFACTORY PERFORMANCE OUTCOMES)
- FINANCIAL (MONETARY LOSS, UNEXPECTED COSTS)
- TEMPORAL (WASTING TIME, CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYS)
- PHYSICAL (PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO POSSESSIONS)
ARE FORMED DURING THE SEARCH AND DECISION-MAKING PROCESS, THROUGH A CUSTOMER’S SEARCH AND EVALUATION OF INFORMATION AND ALTERNATIVES.
EXPECTATIONS
CAN EVEN BE SITUATION-SPECIFIC.
EXPECTATIONS
WHAT ARE THE COMPONENTS OF SERVICE EXPECTATIONS
- DESIRED SERVICE
- ADEQUATE SERVICE
- PREDICTED SERVICE
- ZONE OF TOLERANCE
THE TYPE OF SERVICE CUSTOMERS HOPE TO RECEIVE. IT’S A WISHED FOR LEVEL - A COMBINATION OF WHAT CUSTOMERS BELIEVE CAN AND SHOULD BE DELIVERED IN THE CONTEXT OF THEIR PERSONAL NEEDS.
DESIRED SERVICE
THE MINIMUM LEVEL OF SERVICE CUSTOMERS WILL ACCEPT WITHOUT BEING DISSATISFIED.
ADEQUATE SERVICE
THIS IS THE LEVEL OF SERVICE THAT CUSTOMERS ACTUALLY ANTICIPATE TO RECEIVE.
PREDICTED SERVICE
