, Chapter 1, Kardes: What is consumer behavior
1. What is consumer behavior?
Definition consumer behavior not many years ago: usually called buyer behavior involves the study of
how consumers decide to buy products.
à nowadays accurate, but inadequate description of the full scope of activities in which consumers
engage prior to purchase and during and after consumption.
Consumer behavior: entails all consumer activities associated with the purchase, use and disposal of
goods and services, including the consumers emotional, mental and behavioral responses that
precede, determine or follow these activities.
Consumer: can describe individual or organizational consumers
- Individual consumers: purchase goods and services to satisfy their own personal needs and
wants or to satisfy needs and wants of others.
o Others: for example satisfying households, gift purchases, charitable contributions,
- Organizational consumers: purchase goods and services in order to:
o Produce other goods or services
o Resell them to other organizations or to individual consumers
o Help manage and run their organization

Why categorizing consumer behavior by type of activity?
- Consumers responses to stimuli (prikkels) may differ depending on whether they are
purchasing, using or disposing.
Purchase activities: are those through which consumers acquire goods and service.
- Everything done leading up to the purchase:
o Gathering and evaluating information about the product/service;
For example:
§ Additional services: such as paying methods, home delivery and installation,
and extended warranties.
§ Atmosphere of a store, design of a website
Use activities: describe where, when or how consumption takes place.
- Consumption immediately after purchase: ice cream, haircut
- Delay consumption: new clothing for an occasion, airline ticket
- Use daily or for special occasion: wedding, holiday, or toothpaste
- Entire product consumed before disposal: candy, movie ticket, or some left like chewing gum.
Disposal activities: ways consumers get rid of products and/ or packaging after consumption.
