Sensation • The immediate response of the sensory receptors to basic stimuli • The unique sensory quality of a product helps it to stand our from the competition. Sensory Stimuli Sights Sounds Smells Taste Textures Sensory Receptors Eyes Ears Nose Mouth Skin
Perception • The process by which people select, organize, and interpret these sensations. • Focuses on what we add to these raw sensations in order to give them meaning.
Hedonic Consumption and the design economy • Consumer increasingly want to buy things that will give them hedonic value in addition to simply doing what they’re designed to do. • Emotional experience. Mass-market consumers thirst for great design. • “Form is Function”
Vision • Marketers rely heavily on visual elements in advertising, store design, and packaging.
Color elicit such strong emotional reactions.Color palette is a key issue in packaging design. It helps to “color” our expectation of what’s inside the package.

Exposure • Occur when a stimulus comes within the range of someone’s sensory receptors. • Consumers concentrate on some stimuli, are unaware of others, and even go out of their way to ignore some messages.
Absolute threshold • Refer to the minimum amount of stimulation that can be detected on a given sensory channel. • Billboard • With the very creative copy, too small to see it.
The differential Threshold • Refer to the ability of a sensory system to detect changes or differences between two stimuli. • Sometimes a marketer may want to ensure that consumers notice a change, as when a retailer offer merchandise at a discount. Regular price Now price
Perception Thresholds • Brand that need to update their images without sacrificing the brand image. • Make product, logo, trademark, or package different enough so that consumers will notice the change. • And also notice that it’s no longer the same product. • Starbuck, Coke, Sunsilk.

Perceptual selection • People attend to only small portion of the stimuli to which they are exposed.

Interpretation • Refer to the meanings we assign to sensory stimuli. • Two people can see and hear the same event, but their interpretation of it can be different as well.
Stimulus Organization • One factor that determines how we will interpret a stimulus is the relationship we assume it has with other events, sensations, or image in memory. • The Gestalt perspective provides several principals that relate to the way our brains organize stimuli. • The closure principle • People tend to perceive an incomplete picture as complete. • The principal of similarity • People tend to group together objects that share similar physical characteristics • The figure-ground principle • One part of a stimulus will dominate (the figure), and other parts recede into the background (the ground).
Interpretational Biases • “Seeing what you want to see” • Determine the meaning based on our past experiences, expectations, and needs.
Semiotics • The field of study that studies the correspondence between signs and symbols and their roles in how we assign meanings. • It is the key link to consumer behavior because consumers use products to express their social identities.
Semiotics • Object • The product that is focus of the message • Sign • The sensory image that represents the intended meaning of the object • Interpretant • The meaning we derive from the sign
Perceptual Positioning • Perception of a brand comprises both its functional attributes and its symbolic attributes Perceptual Map
