The buying decision process starts with the recognition of needs and wants.
Purchase will not take place without first knowing what you need and want.

• Needs are basic necessities of people such as food, clothing, and shelter.
People cannot survive without them. Nowadays, education and health care are
part of the human needs. Garment products and real estate products are
always patronized.
• Wants are goods that people desire or wish to have. People can still live even
without these products or services. Electronic products and entertainment
industry fall under this category.
Abraham Maslow is a well-known American psychologist. He proposed the
different levels of needs and human beings. The basic needs of man are food, clothing
and shelter. He called them basic because it pertains to survival, biological and
physiological needs of people – things needed in order to live. This level had been
very helpful to all people. Once the need of a person is satisfied, he or she moves to
the next level.
The knowledge of the needs of people helps entrepreneurs market their products
and services. Products and services are bought because they satisfy the needs and
wants of the customers. A product is something that is manufactured following a
process, or grown and nurtured in order to be sold for a profit. A service is a facility
supplying a public or market demand. Some examples are hair salons offering hair
care and hairstyling services; bus companies, offering transport services: and spas
and wellness centers offering massages, skin care treatments, and the like.
There are different products and services that are available for each type of customer.
Here is a brief description of Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs.
1. Physiological needs or basic needs are things needed to survive such as food
, water, air, sleep, clothing and shelter.
2. Security needs or safety needs are also important for survival but not as
demanding as basic needs. Examples of these are employment, healthcare,
and safe home.
3. Social needs include the need for belonging, love, affection, friendship,
attachments and families.
4. Esteem needs include personal worth, social recognition, and
accomplishments.
5. Self-actualization or self-fulfillment needs are personal awareness and have
less concern with the opinions of others.
The knowledge of the needs of people helps entrepreneurs market their
products and services. Products and services are bought because they satisfy the
needs and wants of the customers. A product is something that is manufactured
following a process, or grown and nurtured in order to be sold for a profit. A service
is a facility supplying a public or market demand. Some examples are hair salons
offering hair care and hairstyling services; bus companies, offering transport
services: and spas and wellness centers offering massages, skin care treatments, and
the like.
