Personal Determinants of Consumer Behavior
[attachment=70]
Needs and Motives
Need: an imbalance between a consumer s actual and desired states
Motives: inner states that direct a person toward the goal of satisfying a felt need
Perceptions: the meaning that a person attributes to incoming stimuli gathered through the five senses sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell.
Perceptual screens: the filtering processes through which all inputs must pass
Subliminal Perception: subconscious receipt of information
Almost 50 years ago, a movie theater tried to boost concession sales by flashing the words Eat Popcorn and Drink Coca-Cola.
Subliminal advertising is aimed at the subconscious level of awareness.
Subliminal advertising has been universally condemned as manipulative, and is exceedingly unlikely that it can induce purchasing.
Research has shown that subliminal messages cannot force receivers to purchase goods that they would not consciously want.
