Chapter Four Exposure, Attention, and Perception
Key Concepts • Consumers’ exposure to marketing stimuli • Characteristics of attention and sustaining consumers’ attention in products and marketing messages • The major senses of perception and how consumers’ sensory perception is affected
Chapter Overview: Exposure, Attention, and Perception(Exhibit 4.2)
Exposure “…reflects the process by which the consumer comes into contact with a stimulus.”
Exposure • Marketing stimuli • Factors influencing exposure • Position of an ad • Product distribution • Shelf placement • Selective exposure • Zipping • Zapping • Measuring exposure
Media Exposure- U.S. Advertising Expense (2002 and 2003) Figures in $Millions Source: 2004- Facts About Newspapers, http://www.naa.org/info/facts04/expenditures-allmedia.html
Shelf Placement and Manufacturers “Manufacturers should be ready to meet the store's criteria for placement (marketing campaign, slotting fees), have adequate personnel to cover sales and demos at each store, and be prepared to give an informed, effective presentation as to how their product will increase product category sales.” -State of Colorado Dept. of Agriculture Source: State of Colorado Department of Agriculture, ,http://www.ag.state.co.us/mkt/fgtp/chapter3.html
Attention “…the process by which we devote mental activity to a stimulus…necessary for information to be processed…activate our senses.”
Characteristics of Attention • Selective • Capable of being divided • Limited
Focal and Nonfocal Attention • Preattentive processing • Hemispheric lateralization • Preattentive processing, brand name liking, and choice
Hemispheric Lateralization • Right hemisphere • Processing music • Grasping visual/spatial information • Forming inferences • Drawing conclusions • Left hemisphere- Processing units that can be combined: e.g., • Counting • Processing unfamiliar words • Forming sentences
Gender-BasedHemispheric Lateralization The gender difference in marketing messages, “…is manifested in men preferring advertising messages that feature competition and show dominance and in women preferring messages that show importance to self as well as others .” Source: “Exploring the Origins and Information Processing Differences Between Men and Women: Implications for Advertisers”, Academy of Marketing Science Review, 2001,http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3896/is_200101/ai_n8945616
Enhancing Consumer Attention by Making Stimulus • Personally relevant • Pleasant • Surprising • Easy to process
Pleasant • Attractive models • Music • Humor
Surprising • Novelty • Unexpectedness • Puzzle
Easy to Process • Stimuli • Prominent • Concrete • Contrasting • Amount of competing information
Attention • Defines customer segments • Habituation
Perception “…occurs when stimuli are registered by one of our five senses: vision, hearing taste, smell, and touch.
Perceiving Through Vision • Size and shape • Color • Color dimensions • Color and physiological responses/moods • Color and liking
Perceiving Through Hearing • Sonic identity • Sound symbolism
Perceiving Through Taste • Varying perceptions of what “tastes good” • Culture backgrounds • In-store marketing

Perceiving Through Smell • Smell and physiological response/moods • Product trial • Liking • Buying
Perceiving Through Touch • Touch and physiological responses/moods • Liking
When Do We Perceive Stimuli? • Absolute thresholds • Differential thresholds • Just noticeable • Weber’s Law • Subliminal perception and consumer behavior
How Do Consumers Perceive a Stimulus? • Perceptual organization • Figure and ground • Closure • Grouping
D Intensity k = Base Intensity D Intensity .02 = = .32 16 Perceptual Thresholds • Absolute threshold (limen): • The lowest level of stimulation at which you can detect a difference between “something” and “nothing.” • Differential threshold • Just noticeable difference (j.n.d.): stimulation change required to result in detection of a change. This is usually a constant proportion (k) of the baseline intensity of the stimulus. • k differs from modality to modality (e.g., the k for weight or kinesthesis is .02)
