Model of Consumer Behavior
The Environment:
Marketing stimuli consist of the four Ps: Product, Price, Place, and Promotion.
Other stimuli include major forces and events in the buyer’s environment:
Economic, Technological, Political, and Cultural. All these inputs enter the
buyer’s black box, where they are turned into a set of buyer responses:
Buyers Black Box:
This shows that marketing and other stimuli enter the consumer’s “black
box” and produce certain responses. Marketers must figure out what is in
the buyer’s black box.
Buyers Responses:
The buyer’s brand and company relationship behavior and what he or she
buys, when, where, and how often
