52
cues
stimuli in the environment that trigger a drive or response, and this is the domain of the marketer, the creation of these cues
53
response
an effort to satisfy a drive. Reinforcement occurs when the response is followed by satisfaction. Marketers often try to identify positive cues or images that have positive associations from some other situation and relate them to the marketing mix.
54
a drive
is a strong internal stimulus that encourages action to reduce a need. Consumers seek products and services that provide benefits that satisfy these needs and wants.
55
impulse buy
bought quickly as own plan purchases because of a strongly felt need.
56
Homogeneous shopping products
are ones that the customer sees as basically the same and wants at the lowest price.
57
Specialty products
are ones that the consumer really wants and have fewer or no acceptable substitutes. They are characterized by the consumer's willingness to search.
58
Unsought products
require promotion to create awareness because they are products that customers don't want yet or don't know that they can buy.
59
New unsought products
represent offerings potential customers don't know about yet. Regularly unsought products are ones that don't motivate customers to seek them out even though they may want or need them if encouraged to better understand their benefits. Just like with the business product classes, understanding how these consumer product classes fit into the wants and needs considerations of consumers can help a marketer better align the marketing mix.
60

62
Shopping products
are compared with competing products.
63
Convenience products
are purchased quickly with little effort. They may be inexpensive, but often require little service and bought by habit.
64
staples

65
market development
a business growth strategy that involves expanding the customer base for an existing product or service
66
market diversification
is a strategic approach that businesses employ to increase their market reach and minimize risk. It involves expanding into multiple markets or industries to reduce reliance on a single source of revenue. This strategy can be implemented in various ways, such as introducing new products or services, targeting new customer segments, or expanding geographically.
67
selective targeting
-selected niches -product specializatione
68
extensive targeting
-multiple segments -product variety
69
extensive problem solving
a consumer attempts to satisfy a completely new or highly important need. In this circumstance, significant information is needed. The consumer has no experience with the product, and the decision and risk of making a wrong decision are highly important. These purchases are often referred to as high involvement purchases. The idea of a decision process does not imply that consumers always apply rational processes in their buying decisions, rr that they necessarily lead to a purchase.
70
limited problem solving
the consumer is willing to put forth some effort, perhaps to update or add to previous experience or because the problem is moderately important.
71
quantitative research
that it is numbers-based. Quantitative data allows the researcher to quantify results through some form of objective measurement.
