Weighted Tally Process Example
Assume consumer weighs Memory, Graphics, Size/Weight and Price 30%, 20%, 40%, and 10%, respectively.
Computer A’s score would be: (30% x 10) + (20% x 8) + (40% x 6) + (10% x 4) = 7.4

• Potential “Interrupters”:– Attitudes & influences of others– Unexpected situational
factors– Buyer’s Remorse– Speed of decision
![Page 28: Consumer behavior notes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070302/54806cf3b4af9fb21e8b47c3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Postpurchase Behavior
• Consumer satisfaction/dissatisfaction results from gaps between expectations and perceived performance.
– Performance BELOW Expectations → Disappointment– Performance EQUALS Expectations → Satisfaction– Performance GREATER than Expectations → Delight
– Performance MUCH GREATER than Expectations → Expectation Recalibration
![Page 29: Consumer behavior notes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070302/54806cf3b4af9fb21e8b47c3/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• Cognitive Dissonance: “Did I make the right purchase? Should I have bought this?”
• Minimize dissonance by:– Offering mechanisms for making complaints
(Customer Service, 800 hotlines, e-mail, etc.)– Being responsive to problems and questions– Advertising (remind consumer why choice made sense)– Minimizing the potential for product misuse (good product
instructions) and “Poke-Yoke”.

Not everyone adopts at the same pace.
• Innovators: venturesome, try new ideas at some risk.
• Early adopters: opinion leaders who adopt new ideas early, but carefully.
• Early majority: deliberate adopters, who adopt before the average person.
• Late majority: skeptical, adopt only after the majority of people have tried a product.
• Laggards: last to adopt, tradition bound, and skeptical of change.
