Consumer Behaviour: Implications for Marketing Strategy

by Delbert I. Hawkins, Pascale G. Quester, Simone Pettigrew

Whether or not we are marketers, we are, definitely, all consumers. We undertake simple or complex purchases each and every day of our lives. Exposure to consumer behaviour principles will help you understand how consumer decisions are made, and what factors influence both the decision-making process and its outcomes. Consumer Behaviour: Implications for Marketing Strategy guides students' exploration into the field of consumer behaviour. The text covers complex types of decision-making processes, before focusing on the two main factors that affect it, namely internal and external influences. Enhanced within each chapter is coverage of consumer purchasing decisions for goods and services, including many local and global examples from the region.

130 more pages to go - dull reading - does not make me excited about marketing...might as well read a dictionary and memorize all the terminology.

[Madison · Rating 2 out of 5]

Read for class- definitely have read worse textbooks. I could tell a lot of effort went into trying to make it engaging.

[David · Rating 5 out of 5]

A low level textbook for marketing studies, this book is an excellent primer to the basic concepts of consumer behaviour.
