Retail stores put a number of items in the aisles leading to the checkout station. These are placed there
to remind customers of things they may have overlooked, or to show products that customers may not
have thought of buying until they are seen. Retailers know that some items are purchased on impulse.
In other words, the customer simply sees a product and purchases it. Create a fourth hierarchy of
effects that would combine the three components of the ABC model when a product is selected on impulse
Attitudes are important because they reflect what consumers think and feel. They also can be used to explain
what consumers intend to do. Every attitude has three components that are represented in what is called the
ABC model of attitudes: A for affect, B for behavior, and C for cognition. ABC Model:-
· Affect: how consumer feels about an attitude object
· Behavior: consumer’s intentions to take action about an attitude object
· Cognition: what consumer believes to be true about the attitude object Fourth hierarchy of effects: · Behavioral influence · Behavior · Cognition · Affect
So relating to the example of the customer purchased items on impulse:
· Behavior - buying item first
· Cognition – belief about the product
· Affect – feels about the product Chapter 2:
