Learning Objectives
When you finish this chapter, you should understand why:
• Perception is a three-stage process that translates raw stimuli into meaning.
• Products and commercial messages often appeal to our senses, but we won’t be influenced by most of them.
• The design of a product today is a key driver of its success or failure.

Learning Objectives (continued)
• Subliminal advertising is a controversial—but largely ineffective—way to talk to consumers.
• We interpret the stimuli to which we do pay attention according to learned patterns and expectations.
• Marketers use symbols to create meaning.

Sensation and Perception
• Sensation is the immediate response of our sensory receptors (eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and fingers) to basic stimuli (light, color, sound, odor, and texture).
• Perception is the process by which sensations are selected, organized, and interpreted.

Hedonic Consumption
• Hedonic consumption: multisensory, fantasy, and emotional aspects of consumers’ interactions with products
• Marketers use impact of sensations on consumers’ product experiences

Sensory Systems
• Our world is a symphony of colors, sounds, odors, tastes
• Advertisements, product packages, radio and TV commercials, billboards provide sensations

Vision
• Color provokes emotion
• Reactions to color are biological and cultural
• Color in the United States is becoming brighter and more complex
• Trade dress: colors associated with specific companies

Scents
Odors create mood and promote memories:
• Coffee = childhood, home
• Cinnamon buns = sex
Marketers use scents:
• Inside products
• In promotions (e.g., scratch ‘n sniff)

Sound
Sound affects people’s feelings and behaviors
• Phonemes: individual sounds that might be more or less preferred by consumers
• Example: “i” brands are “lighter” than “a” brands
• Muzak uses sound and music to create mood
• High tempo = more stimulation
• Slower tempo = more relaxing

Touch
• Haptic senses—or “touch”—is the most basic of senses; we learn this before vision and smell
• Haptic senses affect product experience and judgment
• Kinsei engineering is a Japanese philosophy that translates customers’ feelings into design elements

Taste
• Flavor houses develop new concoctions for consumer palates
• Cultural changes determine desirable tastes
• The more respect we have for ethnic dishes, the more spicy food we desire

Exposure
• Exposure occurs when a stimulus comes within range of someone’s sensory receptors
• We can concentrate, ignore, or completely miss stimuli
• Cadillac’s 5 second ad

Sensory Thresholds
• Psychophysics: science that focuses on how the physical environment is integrated into our personal, subjective world
• Absolute threshold: the minimum amount of stimulation that can be detected on a given sensory channel
![Page 17: Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall 2-1 Chapter 2 Perception CONSUMER BEHAVIOR, 9e Michael R. Solomon.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d645503460f94a46aac/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
2-1704/18/23Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall
Differential Threshold
• The ability of a sensory system to detect changes or differences between two stimuli• Minimum difference between
two stimuli is the j.n.d. (just noticeable difference)
• Example: packaging updates must be subtle enough over time to keep current customers
![Page 18: Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall 2-1 Chapter 2 Perception CONSUMER BEHAVIOR, 9e Michael R. Solomon.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d645503460f94a46aac/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Subliminal Perception
• Subliminal perception occurs when stimulus is below the level of the consumer’s awareness.
• Rumors of subliminal advertising are rampant—though there’s little proof that it occurs.
• Most researchers believe that subliminal techniques are not of much use in marketing.

2-1904/18/23Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall
Subliminal Techniques
• Embeds: figures that are inserted into magazine advertising by using high-speed photography or airbrushing.
• Subliminal auditory perception: sounds, music, or voice text inserted into advertising.

Attention
• Attention is the extent to which processing activity is devoted to a particular stimulus
• Consumers are often in a state of sensory overload
• Marketers need to break through the clutter

Stimulus Selection Factors
• We are more likely to notice stimuli that differ from others around them
• So, marketers can create “contrast” through:
Size Color Position Novelty

Interpretation
• Interpretation refers to the meaning we assign to sensory stimuli, which is based on a schema
![Page 26: Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall 2-1 Chapter 2 Perception CONSUMER BEHAVIOR, 9e Michael R. Solomon.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d645503460f94a46aac/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
2-2604/18/23Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall
Stimulus Organization
• Gestalt: the whole is greater than the sum of its parts
• Closure: people perceive an incomplete picture as complete
• Similarity: consumers group together objects that share similar physical characteristics
• Figure-ground: one part of the stimulus will dominate (the figure) while the other parts recede into the background (ground)
![Page 27: Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall 2-1 Chapter 2 Perception CONSUMER BEHAVIOR, 9e Michael R. Solomon.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d645503460f94a46aac/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Semiotics
• Semiotics: correspondence between signs and symbols and their role in the assignment of meaning
• Marketing messages have three basic components:• Object: product that is the focus of the
message• Sign: sensory image that represents the
intended meanings of the object• Interpretant: meaning derived
![Page 29: Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall 2-1 Chapter 2 Perception CONSUMER BEHAVIOR, 9e Michael R. Solomon.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d645503460f94a46aac/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Perceptual Positioning
• Brand perceptions = functional attributes + symbolic attributes
• Perceptual map: map of where brands are perceived in consumers’ minds
• Used to determine how brands are currently perceived to determine future positioning
