Exposure
- The process by which the consumer
comes in physical contact with a
stimulus
Marketing Stimuli
-Information about offerings
communicated either by the marketer
or by non marketing sources.

FACTORS INFLUENCING EXPOSURE
▸ Position of an ad within a medium
▸ Product distribution and shelf placement
SELECTIVE EXPOSURE
-Consumer can and do actively seek out certain stimuli
and avoid or resist other
4
FACTORS INFLUENCING EXPOSURE

ATTENTION AND CONSUMER BEHAVIOR
Attention
-how much mental activity a consumer devotes to a stimulus
CHARACTERISTICS OF ATTENTION
▸ Attention is limited
▸ Attention is selective
▸ Attention can be divided
6
THREE CHARACTERISTICS OF ATTENTION
Pre-attentive Processing- the non-concious
processing of stimuli in peripheral vision
Hemispheric Lateralization- our ability to process
pre-attentively depends on whether the stimulus in
peripheral vision is a picture or a word and whether
it is placed to the right side or left side of the focal
item
Pre-attentive processing, brand name liking and
choice- makes brand and brand name familiar.

MARKETING IMPLICATIONS
Concreteness
- the extent to which a stimulus is capable of being
imagined.
Prominence
-the intensity of stimuli that causes them to stand out
relative to the environment.
Habituation
-the process by which a stimulus loses its attention-
getting abilities by virtue of its familiarity

PERCEPTION AND CONSUMER BEHAVIOR
Perception- the process of determining the properties
of stimuli using vision, hearing, taste, smell and
touch.
How are we perceiving?
- Perceiving through vision
-Perceiving through hearing
-Perceiving through taste
-Perceiving through smell
-Perceiving through Touch
