4.Consumer Behavior"Consumer behavior"is the behavior that consumers,either people or organizations,show in seeking,purchasing,using,evaluating and disposing of (处理掉) products and services.The study of consumer behavior is the study of how people make decisions to spend their available resources on products and services.
All consumers face varying problems to which solutions are vital to the existence of most people,and the economic well-being of all.The process is complex,as choices must be made regarding what,why,how,when,where and how often to buy an item.The answers to these questions would provide companies with important input for product design improvement and marketing strategy.
The person who purchases a product is not always the only user of the product.Nor is the purchaser necessarily the person who makes the decision or pays for the product.Thus the marketplace activities of people have three functions:the consumer,the person who uses the product or service; the purchaser,the person who carries out the activities to get the product or service; and the payer,the person who provides the money or other objects of value to obtain the product or service.Marketers must decide whom to direct their marketing efforts toward.For some products or services,they must find the person who is most likely to influence the decision.Some marketers believe that the buyer of the products is the best choice; others believe it is the user of the product,while still others play it safe by directing their promotional efforts to both buyers and users.
In addition to studying how consumers use the products they buy,consumer researchers are also interested in how people dispose of their once-new purchases when they are finished with them because the marketers must match production to the frequency with which consumers buy replacements.It is also important to society as a whole,as solid waste disposal has become a major environmental problem that marketers must address in their development of products and packaging.Many companies have begun to reproduce old components to install in new products,because reproducing is often cheaper,easier and more efficient than recycling.
