decision or a complex decision. For routine consumer decisions like buying toothpaste, the
most effective promotion calls attention to the brand or reminds the consumer about the
brand. Advertising, and especially sales promotion, are the most productive promotion tools
to use for routine decisions.

51. How do consumers make complex buying decisions? Which is the most effective technique in helping customers
make complex decisions?

Chapter 16
ANSWER: Consumers making complex buying decisions are more extensively involved. They rely on
large amounts of information to help them reach a purchase decision. Personal selling is most
effective in helping these consumers decide. For example, consumers thinking about buying a
car typically research the car online using corporate and third-party Web sites. However, few
people buy a car without visiting the dealership. They depend on a salesperson to provide the
information they need to reach a decision. In addition to online resources, print advertising
may also be used for high-involvement purchase decisions because it can often provide a
large amount of information to the consumer.

52. Explain the differences between push and pull strategies with examples.
ANSWER: Manufacturers may use aggressive personal selling and trade advertising to convince a
wholesaler or a retailer to carry and sell their merchandise. This approach is known as a push
strategy. The wholesaler, in turn, must often push the merchandise forward by persuading the
retailer to handle the goods. The retailer then uses advertising, displays, and other forms of
promotion to convince the consumer to buy the “pushed" products. Walmart uses aggressive
discounts to push products out of its stores. The retailer drastically reduced prices to push
fresh meat, produce, and other healthy options to consumers in low-income areas. The move
proved a win-win strategy; fresh foods generated seventy percent of Walmart's sales growth
in recent years, and since 2011, customers have saved more than $2.3 billion on fresh fruits
and vegetables by shopping at Walmart. This concept also applies to services.At the other
extreme is a pull strategy, which stimulates consumer demand to obtain product distribution.
Rather than trying to sell to the wholesaler, the manufacturer using a pull strategy focuses its
promotional efforts on end consumers or opinion leaders. Social media and content
marketing are the most recent example of pull strategy. The idea is that social media content
does not interrupt a consumer's experience with media. Instead, the content invites customers
to experience it on social media or a Web site. Teva's Unfollow campaign is a good example
of enticing consumers to the content.
