From the moment a consumer engages in a transaction, emotions are used to determine purchase choices and satisfaction. The way an advertisement makes an individual feel, or the display in a store, provokes an emotion to promote the consumer to purchase that item or service. However, emotions are not limited to the initial transaction. After the transaction is completed, emotions determine the levels of satisfaction a consumer has towards an item or service. If the emotional benefit is equal to the expected results, the consumer will be satisfied, however, if the product or service does not hold to its expected standards, the consumer will not be satisfied and may discontinue doing business with the organization. Therefore, understanding emotions …show more content…
In the academic journal by Fleur Laros and Jan-Benedict Steenkamp published in 2005, emotions in consumer behavior are illustrated through a hierarchy-based system of classifying. The authors suggest that the understanding and interpretation of emotion is extremely beneficial for marketers. When an individual views an advertisement, the emotions mediate the consumer’s response to the material. Depending on the emotion the consumer feels after viewing the advertisement, this can potentionally prompt the consumer to purchase that good or service (Laros & Steenkamp, 2005).
However, emotions are not limited to influencing how a consumer purchases products or services, but emotions directly relate to the level of satisfaction an individual feels after purchasing a good or service. Laros and Steenkamp, 2005, state the importance and influence of emotions during post-purchase behavior. Satisfaction is commonly defined in simple terms, such as, positive and negative; however, there is an extensive divergence of emotions related to consumer satisfaction. To better understand the complex variety of emotions a

Authors Richard A. Westbrook and Richard L. Oliver (1991) illustrate the definitions of satisfaction and consumption emotion through interviewing new owners of cars on their post-purchase evaluation. Satisfaction and consumption emotion are defined to show the relation, as well as, the difference in the two ideas. Westbrook and Oliver define satisfaction as “a post choice evaluative judgment concerning a specific purchase selection”; consumption emotion is defined as, “a set of emotional responses elicited specifically during product usage of consumption experiences” (Westbrook & Oliver, 1991). The definitions vary slightly due to the idea that satisfaction is the comparison of what the individual thought the outcome of the product or service should be, where consumption experience is a list of emotions the individual felt during or after the purchase without comparison (Westbrook & Oliver,
What captures the attention of people when they view an advertisement, commercial or poster? Is it the colors, a captivating phrase or the people pictured? While these are some of the elements often employed in advertising, we can look deeper and analyze the types of appeals that are utilized to draw attention to certain advertisements. The persuasive methods used can be classified into three modes. These modes are pathos, logos, and ethos. Pathos makes an appeal to emotions, logos appeals to logic or reason and ethos makes an appeal of character or credibility. Each appeal can give support to the message that is being promoted.

Consumer research began focusing on emotional response to advertising during the 1980’s (Goodstein, Edell, at all 1988). Within the debate of deciding if the use of emotion is the most effective way of creating a strong brand in advertising, comes a discussion of high and low involvement. Krugman’s (1965, p. 349-356), Public Opinion Quarterly, is where Krugman observed that much of the content of television advertising was “trivial and sometimes silly” and did not fit the “traditional persuasion models prevalent at the time” (Krugman, 1965, p.349-356). Krugman’s theory was that television viewers were not particularly involved or interested in television advertising but rather that they watched it in a ‘low-involvement’ state of mind. Krugman (1965) assumed that the differences between slow and fast brainwaves would demonstrate the level of interest that the advertisement had on the consumer. Maggie Geuens (2011, p. 418–426) furthers this theory and stated that “Emotional advertising is effective for low involvement and hedonic products, but not for high involvement or utilitarian products” (Geuens, 2011, p.418-426) which clearly demonstrated that from her research emotional advertising will only appeal to consumers with low involvement into the television ads and in relation to the products that they are trying to
A situation that includes the immense mental contribution in pleasure or displeasure is termed as emotional. Emotion is an experience that happens when one is actively involving their cognition. Science has its definition of what feeling is thus making the term enormous with at least one meaning. Factors that contribute to emotions are things like mood, motivation, disposition, and personality. Some theories about feelings hold cognition to be a crucial factor. People who operate under emotions are termed as fewer thinkers, though the brain is usually at work (Brown, Stephanie, & Micheal, 17). Emotions are sophisticated in all cases. Components involved in emotions
One of the differentiation strategies used by BMW is the creation of auto products that consumers can emotionally relate to. In building the BMW brand, the company has succeeded in positioning its products as prestigious or luxurious. Therefore, most consumers want to own a BMW car solely for the prestige it gives them. BMW products are not only purchased due to their usability or functionality but for the status they give the owner. Subsequently, when a person buys a BMW product, they are emotionally attached not just to the car but to the brand as a whole. This has created increased brand loyalty in BMW growing its customer base as more people search for the status associated with the company’s products.
The advertisement of the Lexus LS F Sport persuades consumers on the basis of appealing to emotions. This means that the reasons given to encourage consumers to purchase the vehicle are illogical, and are meant to reach their subconscious mind to influence how they feel. In this case, the advertisement is attempting to give the consumer an experience of positive emotions by the illogical reasons in text. Essentially, it attempts to paint a picture of the potential buyer already owning the vehicle and experiencing the luxurious qualities that are on display to the world.
Together, motivation and emotion move, trigger and help with the control of behaviour in humans. The part of emotion that allows us to feel has a motivational factor.

These emotions as we know it can be easily be attach themselves to the human experience in theirs likes and dislikes. “In effect, advertisers over the years have blindly felt their way around the underside of the American psyche, and by trial and error have discovered the softest points of entree, the places where their messages have the greatest likelihood of getting by consumers ' defenses (Petracca and Sorapure 46).” Each day marketers discover ways in how they can get into people’s emotions in order for them to buy their products. That is why marketers already have invested over 8 billion dollars in 2006 in a new research called neuromarketing. This new research sounds very encouraging to foretell in how consumers are going to use their money (Petracca and Sorapure 110).” These researches and their new discoveries is a breakthrough in the marketing world that will change our future ideology in how we buy products and
Emotions play a role in everyday life in all things big or small, but particularly in making decisions. When an individual is deciding on what to do, they take into account what their expected emotions would be, but the determining factor is the immediate emotions they feel while making the decision. With expected emotions, an individual will think about how happy or upset they may feel for instance if they win a monetary cash prize, or gamble too much and walk away with nothing. Often ...
Have you ever wondered why people have certain reactions? I chose chapter eight on emotions for my reflection paper because emotions are something that everyone has and feels, yet cannot always explain or react to in the way you would expect. Personally, I have never been great at responding to emotions in a way that I would not regret in the future. Thus, naturally being drawn to this chapter as a way to expand my knowledge on how to react to things more positively. I also wanted to learn why I feel a certain way after events that would not affect most people and be reassured about my feelings. Opposite to that, it is nice to see that, while not always productive, others have the same reaction habits. Overall, emotions are a complicated
