The amount of time consumers devote to a purchase decision can vary greatly depending on the cost of the product, familiarity with the product, and the importance of the item to the consumer. Few buyers invest much effort in selecting a tube of toothpaste, but the purchase of a new automobile or a home will involve extensive decision making. Consumer buying situations can fall into one of three categories depending on the degree of buyer involvement. Habitual buying decisions usually require very little consumer involvement and brand differences are usually insignificant. For frequently purchased, low-cost items such as shampoo, copy paper, or laundry detergent, consumer involvement in the decision-making process is very low. Variety-seeking buying decisions are characterized by low customer involvement, but important perceived brand differences. Complex buying decisions are characterized by a high degree of involvement by the consumer. Consumers are likely to be highly involved when the product is expensive, purchased infrequently, and highly self-expressive.
In the age of information, salespeople are faced with customers who have access to immense amounts of information including competing products and price points. This means they may not rely upon the salesperson in the same ways they once did.
The buyer resolution theory is sometimes referred to as the 5 W’s Theory. It focuses attention on questions the customer may need answers to before making a purchase. An absence of an answer to any of these will likely result in a customer objection.
