Q

conjunctive

A

high cutoffs . you have a minimum set of requirmemeys and you eliminate whatever doesnt meet the minimum requirmemets. Last brand left standing is the one you choose. Like a survival method
We apply this model when all of the attributes are highly important
What your buying has to fit everything you want or else you dont get it.

disjunctive

A

some attributes are more important or less. We use different cutoffs. Lower cutoffs= less important attributes and vise versa.
We count the number of qualified attributes
We choose the alternative that has the greatest number of acceptable features
We count the number of qualified attributes and the largest number of qualified attributes we choose

18
Q

two tyoes of affective influences when making high effort

A

1) Emotions at point of sale
Often new product trials happen for high effort products
hedonic products
Ex: testing an iphone in the store
Using a product creates positive emotions
After we try out the product, we see if we want to buy it or not depending on how much pleasure it gave us
2) Affective forecasting
Making predictions about we are likely to feel in the future
Ex: auctions. We tend to think we need this item now and will lose out if we dont buy it. We overestimate and pay more at auctions.

Q

low effort vs high

A

low decisions are based on single or few attributes

22
Q

two different phases

A

We have to look inside the consumers mind and see how the info flows: two steps which is phase 1 problem recognition and search and phase 2 is decision making and judgment

23
Q

problem recognition

A

Shows the gap between actual and ideal state

Increase gap by→ increase motivation to act:
Point out low actual state
Provide high ideal state
Contrast low actual vs high idea states → put side by side visually

24
Q

low actual state

A

Point out low actual state
How to point it out
Prove that the actual state is low
Show that an item is in low quality and you need a product to fix it
Give a reference point. Ex: crest selling whitening strips. They show teeth compared to a kleenex and shows how yellow it is
ex : Oral hygene app→ when visually demonstrating what people are missing they apply it to themselves more, the oral hygene app will show you your mouth then recommend many products to you based on your mouth and the picture you gave of your mouth

25
provide high ideal state
Ex: good looking people Aspiring to something Customers have become wary and have caught into the fact that adversiitng sells smtg that is unrealistic → you change your appearance on social media, fake news, facetune We value authenticity → brands are rebranding themselves are more authentic. Ex: dove
26
sources of authenticity
1) Realistic ideal points in retailing/ advertising 2) Transparent and fair manufacturing process→ “not tested on animals, good for the environment” 3) Original designs/ handmade products → not mass produced, Amazon has a handmade section, and specific quantity sold 4) Firms origin story with founders→ humanize the brand, flesh and blood person behind the company, ex: brand origin story, background of founders 5) Firms behaviour consistent with its values/ mission statement→ go on ben and jerry website or patagonia, they list everything they do not talking about sales but they list it so that they can increase sales
27
Construct low actual vs high ideal states
Put them side by side Ex: before and after software showing nose jobs
28
internal search
Easily recalled (familiar) brand in memory have an advantage Consumer search is moving from internal to external
29
memory
brand names brand attributes
30
external search
Ex: google Brand names Brand attributes Consumers searching more within online retailers Consumers searching more within online streaming services Want to be high on this
31
organic search
Organic search: search engine optimization Google creates an index of the internet based on website info When a search term is entered, google creates a ranked list of relevant pages using a proprietary algorithm based on: page quakoty of web, repeated use of terms on website, quality and quantity of links pointing to the website
32
brand attribute matrix can be formed through which types of searches
external and internal
33
what is variety seeking
Variety seeking is another form of decision-making (want something different than usual) There are some product groups that you seek variety over time→ ex: clothes. Zara does fast fashion to keep having new products seeking variety is something that should be satisfied we desire something different
34
Different customer segments can have different important attributes
men vs women may have different opinions on shampoo Lyft offers an option where you get a lower price but you have to wait longer, another option for customers is to pay more to but get a car sooner→ Customers can self select Allows customers to self-segment
35
primary vs secondary data
Primary is to go directly to customers yourself whereas secondary is to get already published data or to use a second party to get information about consumers
36
numerical cutoffs
price
37
tora strentghs and weaknesses
Strengths: ensures we don't miss important attributes relevant to decision-making Ensures rational/long-term analysis of information Allows objective comparisons between brands/ choice options At dealerships they will only have a few brands not very many so you have to use the TORA system Weakness: Incomplete set of attributes can bias results Does not permit cutoffs on attributes Does not highlight the primacy of feelings (ex: people fall in love with a mini cooper after seeing it/ testing it in person)
38
Affective and cognitive appeals in advertising
When new iphone is launched, not info heavy, more pictures→ want to create positive emotions Emotions come automatically Emotions influence subsequent thinking through confirmation bias The smart way to market is to ask did: i market the product to induce positive emotions in consumers
39
five senses to influence choice
Visual, audio, Smell→ Makreter has more control over visual, audio smell (ex: tv, radio, print, stores). Smell is not that widely used so you can use this sense to stand out Taste and touch→ Marketer has less control over taste and touch (ex: product sampling by consumers). Not in our hands. We dont know if people will stop and smell our product sampling, mo
40
smell in departament stores
If you go to the bay, you have tp go through the perfume section to get to clothes Smell influences decision by mood, memory and brand → liking for the brand
41
smell and mood
Pleasant smell→ positive mood→ liking Positive mood→ leads to people staying more in the store→ longer you stay more likely to buy
42
memory route
Useful bc unlike the other 5 sense, memory and smell are very close to each other in the brain Memory and smell are very close in the brain and evoke emotional reactions in consumers→ can use this to promote products ex: candle companies that offer candles to make candles to remember special events (first camping trip, first christmas, etc)
43
language and decision making
Language should avoid negative feelings and create positive feelings
44
Cultural differences in decision making
Should use real people instead of celebrities, compare your brand with ocmeptitiors→ these things will differ depending on the country Feature real people who use the product Endorsed by famous people you respect Research marketing techniques that work best in each specific country Marketing techniques, including the use of real people, celebrities, and competitive comparisons, must be tailored to each country’s cultural context. Conducting local market research and understanding cultural norms and consumer behavior is essential to create effective campaigns. By adapting to the local culture, brands can build stronger connections and foster greater trust among consumers.
45
how to increase the gap
point out low actual state provide high ideal state contrast low actual vs high ideal states
46
high ideal states may be seen as
not autehntic and we value authenticity so brands are rebranding themselves are more authentic
47
why do easily recalled brands have an avdnayage
bc we like comfort
48
Online Retailers/Streaming Services Have Advantages on External Search
* Can recommend / sell products to consumers * Can get consumer search data for targeted product offers / developing new products
49
luxury products
Forced to asked staff for price information => consistency principle * More reliance on visual information => emotional decision-making no price info provided cant use price cutoff
50
Single (or two) attribute choice is not the only way to make low effort decisions - there are other ways making high effort decisions
Variety-seeking (vs. regular) decision-making, e.g., Cointoss * Group (vs individual) decision making, e.g., Choozum
51
Smell Must Be Consistent With
brand
52
ability vs opportunity
ability (internal factors) opportunity (external factors)
