chance of selection.
Stratified random The population is divided into mutually exclusive groups

each group.
Cluster (area) sample The population is divided into mutually exclusive groups
(such as blocks), and the researcher draws a sample of the
groups to interview.

Nonprobability Sample
Convenience sample The researcher selects the easiest population members from
which to obtain information.

members who are good prospects for accurate information.

Consumer Markets and Buyer
Behavior

Copyright © 2021, 2018, 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.


Consumer Markets and Buyer Behavior

Consumer buyer behavior is the buying behavior of final


consumers—individuals and households that buy goods
and services for personal consumption.

Consumer markets are made up of all the individuals and


households that buy or acquire goods and services for
personal consumption.
The Buyer Decision Process
(Rational Perspective)

The buying process


starts long before
the actual purchase
and continues long
after. In fact, it
might result in a
decision not to buy.
Therefore,
marketers must
focus on the entire
buying process, not
just the purchase
decision

The iconic Starbucks brand is


about a lot more than just making
good coffee. At its core, Starbucks
doesn’t sell just coffee. It sells the
Starbucks Experience, one that
enriches people’s lives one
moment, one human being, one
extraordinary cup of coffee at a
time. “Life happens over coffee.”
What is a Product?

Product is anything that can be offered in a market for


attention, acquisition, use, or consumption that might
satisfy a need or want.

Services are a form of product that consists of activities,


benefits, or satisfactions and that is essentially intangible
and does not result in the ownership of anything.

Many companies are now focusing on creating and


managing customer experiences with their brands.
