Consumer Decision Making Process


The consumer decision-making process ranges from simple to complex, and is influenced by various factors. It begins with the recognition of a need. It might be as simple as realizing there are no more vegetables left in the fridge!

 

It is followed by information search where a consumer starts to search for information from internal and external resources. Once consumer finds information and alternatives, he/she starts to evaluate them in the alternative evaluation step. After evaluation of alternatives a consumer makes a decisions regarding which product/service to purchase. After purchase the consumer has an experience using the product/service that is purchased.

 

All the questions like: what influences a consumer in a purchase situation? Why did consumer X purchase this TV? Was it for price or quality? Did consumer X ask his/her friends or family for help in his/her decision? are subject to the Consumer Decision Making process.

 

Do not forget that consumers are constantly evolving in their buying behaviour based on their life situations, so their behaviours through their decision making process are constantly changing.
