4. According to "Strong Model"
which is one of the most
significant models depicts the
effect of the promotional
campaign on the consumer's
decision to purchase the
product is; there are four
stages to convince the
consumer with the promoted
product, and these stages are
; Attention, interest, desire,
and action or (AIDA).

1.1 AIDA Model
5. There is a relationship between the promotional
campaign and the consumer behavior .
Thus it’s a crucial mission to predict the consumer
choices and satisfy their needs.
Guess !
Who are the champions to tackle this task?

influenced by the promotional campaigns, precisely in
the food products as "Lactel product" as an instance.

the products which satisfy their needs.

2-3 Consumer buying decision process:
Consumers to purchase some goods don’t need to pass during all
stages of the buying decision. However, some purchases are so
important that the consumer is forced to do all these steps carefully
and meticulously. ( GilaniNia , 2010)
1) Identify the problem: The first stage of the decision-making process is
that people can feel the difference between current and desired
situation
2) Data collection: For solving this problem collect information. This
information can be internal (experiences) and external (family, exhibits,
etc.)
3) Assessment Options: After gathering information, the consumer is
ready to make a decision.
4) Purchase: This stage is the stage that all marketing activities are the
result.
5) After purchase behavior: Consumer compare purchased products
with ideas, products, competitors, perceptions and expectations of the
product and two satisfaction and dissatisfaction, which may appear
different reasons.

In the past, sellers, due to lack of competition and lower a variety of
products directly sell the product. But today, by increasing
companies, increasing competition and increasing revenues from
other people, other sellers will not be able to communicate directly
with sellers. Marketers and sellers are forced to study consumer
behavior research.
Now, marketers want to know what is going on in the black box.
Black Box itself is composed of two parts. First part personal
characteristics of buyer on how to understand and respond to
stimuli affect and the second part is the buyer's decision-making
process that effects on his behavior.
Figure 5: Model of consumer behavior
15. The four elements of the marketing mix are; Product – price – promotion –
place, therefore promotional campaign is one of the most significant
elements which is inform and notify the consumer about the desired
product , also it's considered as a linking point between the producer and
the consumer.
Although promotional campaign is a crucial component, but unfortunate
we are facing a miss-planning and random implementation for the
promotional campaign, beside that most of them are not based on the
right scientific method.
For instance; the main concern for the most of the producers is to focus on
the number of sales and ignoring the market research and planning as
surveys or customer feedback to benefit the customer and satisfy their
needs.

24. From an overall perspective, promotional campaigns influence
on the consumer buying behavior, not only the decision of
buying but also on their motive to buy the product, as it
depicted in the investigation once they knew that "lactel" is the
sponsor for one of the most popular football clubs, half of the
sample decide to buy the product to support their favorite club,
henceforth in order to attract and influence the purchase
decision of the customer in today's competitive market,
promotional campaign should be a prominent feature which is
based on the market scientific method to impact directly on the
consumer.
