Roles and Status
A role consists of the activities people are expected to perform according to the people around them.
Each role carries a status reflecting the general esteem given to it by society.
People often choose products that show their status in society.
Marketers must be aware of the status-symbol potential of products and brands.
Examples: Singapore’s 5 Cs; Mitsukoshi.
Personal Factors

Motivation
A motive (or drive) is a need that is sufficiently pressing to direct the person to seek satisfaction.
Freud’s theory, Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.

Assume that people are largely unconscious the real psychological forces shaping their behavior.
Motive research: qualitative research designed to probe consumers’ hidden, subconscious motivations.

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
Human needs are arranged in a hierarchy.
A person tries to satisfy the most important need first.
Perception
Perception is the process by which people select, organize, and interpret information to form a meaningful picture of the world.

selective retention. Subliminal advertising
Learning
Learning describes changes in an individual’s behavior arising from experience.
Classical Conditioning Operant Conditioning
Positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, and punishment.
Cognitive Learning Rehearsal and Elaboration
Beliefs and Attitudes
A belief is a descriptive thought that a person has about something.
Attitudes describe a person’s relatively consistent evaluation, feelings, and tendencies toward an object or idea.
Ex. National Milk Processors Education Program – 01, 02, 03.

Marketing Strategies
Redesign the product: repositioning. Alter beliefs about the brand: psychological
repositioning. Alter beliefs about competitor’s brands:
competitive positioning. Alter the important weights. Call attention to neglected attributes.
Case: Beaujolais (薄酒萊 )
產地: South of Burgundy 品種: Gamay Noir 一般品嚐葡萄酒常強調陳年、厚實。 薄酒萊強調新鮮、果香,利用行銷策略、舉辦「新酒節」等方式,使消費者接受其訴求。

Consumer satisfaction is a function of consumer expectations and perceived product performance. Performance < Expectations → Disappointment Performance = Expectations → Satisfaction Performance > Expectations → Delight

Stages in the Adoption Process
1. Awareness
2. Interest
3. Evaluation
4. Trial
5. Adoption
Three Basic Stages
Cognitive stage: what the receiver knows or perceives about the particular product or brand.
Affective stage: the receiver’s feelings or affect level for the particular product or brand.
Behavioral (or Conative) stage: the receiver’s action toward the particular product or brand.
Implications of the Traditional Hierarchy Models
Potential buyers may be at different stages in the hierarchy, so the advertiser will face different sets of communication problems. Cognitive: DHC, 斯斯 , 南山人壽 , 安泰人壽,
Rejoice Affective: 全國電子 , 保誠人壽 , 泰國人壽, 三菱
Savrin, San Miguel Behavioral: Heineken, 肯德基
Think
In spite of C→A→B, is there another type of response process?
Figure 5.6: Adopter Categorization on the Basis of Relative Time of Adoption of Innovations
Characteristics of Innovators
Relatively younger, better educated, higher income.
More receptive to unfamiliar things, rely more on their own values and judgment, more willing to take risk
Less brand-loyal, more likely to take advantage of special promotions such as discounts, coupons, and samples.
Influence of Product Characteristics on Rate of Adoption
Relative Advantage: Is the innovation superior to existing products?
Compatibility: Does the innovation fit the values and experience of the target market?
Complexity: Is the innovation difficult to understand or use?
Divisibility: Can the innovation be used on a limited basis?
Communicability: Can results be easily observed or described to others?
