The Complexity of Consumer Decision-Making

Consumer decision-making is influenced by a multitude of factors beyond logical need and price sensitivity. People often do not follow a straightforward path when making purchases; rather, they might be swayed by unexpected opportunities, like seeing a for-sale sign on a desirable house even if they weren't actively seeking to move. The notion of 'impulse buying' reveals that consumers can be prompted by their environment, leading to unplanned purchases. Therefore, businesses should consider that marketing strategies can create or reshape opportunities in ways consumers might not consciously realize.
