The Art & Science of Consumer Involvement - In-Depth Report, Literature, Trends, Strategies & Test

For that reason alone, studying consumer behaviour should be the starting point of any business.

We also discussed and analysed in depth the consumer’s decision-making process, that is, a series of steps (stages) that consumers go through when considering and making purchases of goods and services.

Today, we’re diving even deeper into this beautiful science.

We’ll be discussing the consumer’s involvement with the product.

Consumer’s involvement with the product refers to the level of personal engagement, interest, and significance that an individual attributes to a particular product or product category. It reflects the extent to which a consumer is emotionally, intellectually, and behaviourally connected to the product, influenced by factors like personal relevance, emotional appeal, and perceived importance. Understanding consumer involvement is crucial for businesses seeking to create effective marketing strategies and foster meaningful connections with their target audience.
