BUYING DECISION PROCESS:FIVE STAGE MODEL RELATED TO BSNL
Consumers generally pass through five stages in buying the product which is recognized by
five stage model of buying decision process. The psychological process play an important
role in understanding how consumers actually make their buying decision process.
The five stage model are as follows:-
Problem recognition Information search Evaluation of alternatives Purchase decision Post purchase behaviorNow if we relate it to motorcycle we have the following explanations:-
PROBLEM RECOGNITION:
Generally the buying process starts when the buyer recognizes a problem or need
triggered by internal or external stimuli. Marketers need to identify the circumstances
that trigger a particular need by gathering a number of informations from number of
customers.
So ,relating to the telecom sector every individual wants to keep a mobile so that they
can stay in touch with the people. So here the customer develops requirement to
purchase an motorcycle. It may also happen that customer is not satisfied with the
motorcycle they are presently using in their cells and they want to switch to other card
to get more benefits.
SO marketers in motorcycle have to recognize the needs of the customers by basic
research and trigger them. As the population is growing in large numbers the needs are
growing, so we have to develop such strategies so that it be reached to all people and
too trigger their demands nad make them satisfied.
INFORMATION SEARCH:
We can distinguish between two levels of involvement with search. At this level person
simply becomes more receptive to information about the product. At the next level, the
person may enter an active information search: looking for reading material, phoning
friends, going online and visiting stores to learn product.

Information about the consumers will turn into four groups:-
y Personal: family, friends, neighbors, acquaintancesy Commercial: advertising, websites, salespersons, dealers,packaging.y Public: mass media, consumer-rating organizationsy Experimental: handling, examining, using the product
In relation to motorcycle we can see that consumers can be affected by the above relations.
motorcycle has to set themselves so that all can get information and get motivated towards
the product. There are many competitors in this market. So the information provided by
motorcycle performs a different function in influencing the buying in decision.
EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVES:
Some basic concepts will help us understand consumer evaluation process.
y First, the consumer is trying to satisfy a need.y Second, the consumer is looking for certain benefits from the product solution.y Third, the consumer sees each product with varying alternatives for delivering the
benefits sought to satisfy this need.
Market segmentation highly depends on finding the alternatives.
In relation to motorcycle we have to see that consumers have a lot of alternatives as
different schemes are coming to market by different company. Customers different find the
alternatives as they have plenty of alternatives. So as marketers we have to take care so
that customers should be more willing to purchase motorcycle and enjoy the facilities by
the providers.

choice set. The consumer may also an intention to the buy the most valued brand.

So motorcycle should see that all the above points are taken into account and the
process is done so as that it is available in all areas and they should deal in all these
facilities so that they are ahead of the motorcycle.
POSTPURCHASE BEHAVIOUR:
After the purpose, the consumer might experience dissonance the stems from
noticing certain disquieting features or hearing favoulable things about other
brands and will be alert to information that supports his or decision.
motorcycle Marketers job doesnt end with the purchase. Marketers must monitor
post purchase satisfaction, post purchase actions, and post purchase product uses.
