Unsought Products Purchase is unplanned -result of
marketer’s actions. Purchase decisions occur when customer
is exposed to promotional activity, like salesperson’s persuasion or incentives like special discounts
Promotional activities result in Impulse Purchasing
![Page 15: Introduction to Product Management](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042722/577cc74a1a28aba711a08ba2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Emergency Products Customer seeks these due to sudden
events
Pre-purchase planning is not considered.
Often the decision is one of convenience (e.g., whatever works to fix a problem) or personal fulfilment (e.g., perceived to improve purchaser’s image)

Industrial Products –Advanced Components Use basic components to produce
products that offer a significant function needed within a larger product
