Consumer Decision-Making and Beyond

Levels of Consumer Decision-Making

There are three primary levels of consumer decision-making:

• Extensive Problem-Solving: Consumers have not established criteria for evaluating a product category or specific brands.
• Limited Problem-Solving: Consumers already have established the basic criteria for evaluating the product category and the various brands in the category.
• Routinized Response Behavior: Consumers have experience with the product category and a well-established set of criteria with which to evaluate the brands they are considering.

IFR is classified as anything less than VFR

IFR Rating Privileges:

• Fly in IMC
• VFR OTT
• Class A airspace

Expiry?

Global Market Segmentation

Understanding Different Consumer Segments

A global segment referred to as the "global elite" includes well-traveled persons.
