The Marketing and Advertising Industry has spent their time and money to understand how the consumers decide which products that they would buy. They found that people make these decision based on their reasons, what so-called 'benefits'. They have been using these 'benefits' since they were 8 years old.
When I heard about this, I was like "Wow!! Really?!?"
Here is the list of the 'benefits':
- Convenience
- Recreation
- Privacy
- Prestige
- Entertainment
- Health
- Economy
- Value
- Safety
- Security
- Romance
- Comfort
- Aesthetics
- Self-Actualization
So, we all have been using some of these categories (the 'benefits' that are more appealing to us) to make decision on what to buy or what to choose for ourselves.
