Solomon et al (2013) define attitude as a long-term and overall evaluation of individuals, issues or objects. There exists a strong relation between attitude and culture as Solomon et al (2013) emphasize that, choices in relation to product consumption cannot be comprehended without taking into account the cultural context in which they are made. Solomon et al (2013) furthers this point by saying that culture is a prism whereby individuals view products and attempt to create a sense of their behaviour towards that product or service and this also influences other consumers. The argument place culture as customs, ideas and social behaviour of a given group of people or community. <\/p>\n

What do you feel are the main barriers to the success of current anti-drink driving ads?<\/p>\n

Explore the value\/usefulness of using attitudinal theories and models to explain consumer behaviour:<\/p>\n
Determining or influencing a consumer\u2019s attitude is essential in driving sales. An attitude is a powerful tool in determining what and why a consumer chooses a product or service over the other. Attitude further brings a perception that one product is better compared to other and this can be rarely changed from the consumer. The attitudinal theories are therefore essential in determining what experience consumer had had with other products or how other opinions affected their perceptions on a given product. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
