Marketing Genius Profile

Henry Assael was fascinated in understanding why consumers chose to buy the goods they did, and he came up with a list of four unique "buying behaviors" that consumers displayed when he studied how consumers were:

a) involved with the goods they bought

b) how the different goods/services differed from one another

This lead to 4 key areas in the consumer choice model:

- Packaging

- Brand Extension

- Logistics

- Marketing communications (integrated and direct marketing)

For more information on Henry Assael's studies, please see: www.slideshare.net/smumbahelp/mb0046-marketing-management-30

As for the actual Henry Assael Model of buying decision behaviour, I think this image depicts it very well:

I would also recommend taking a look at this marketing management course offered by SMU Indore. 

It has many diagrams of the Consumer Buying Behavior in the following pages:
