Congo video – once you’ve segmented you need to understand your target’s consumer behaviour
The study of consumer behaviour helps marketing organizations understand "why" people buy the products they do.

Information Search – in groups discuss the steps to 1. what you had to eat this morning 2. the most expensive thing you’ve ever bought Routine Decision - Does not involve much money, takes limited time and has low risk. (toothpaste) Limited Decision - Involves more expensive purchases, takes more time, and has moderate risk. Complex Decision - Requires considerable time, effort and money, a proper evaluation of alternatives, and involves high risk. (car)
Evaluation of Alternatives - assessment is made based on factors such as price, quality, style, service or any other attribute judged to be important
Post-Purchase Evaluation cognitive dissonance: individual's unsettled state of mind that results from an action taken by an individual. Its presence suggests a lack of confidence in the decision
