Part 4: Evaluative Criteria

Class,

Chapter 16 of this week’s reading discusses Evaluative Criteria. As consumers once we identify that a need exists we start evaluating various options. We look at the features, benefits and characteristics of our potential purchases.

Building custom home’s I offer hundreds of floor plans and thousands of options. With all of these options there’s many levels of price points too. The majority of our customers are seeking affordable housing, but we can definitely build the Taj Mahal too. Sometimes I’m working with a couple that each has separate criteria that is important and once in a while their values directly go against the each other.

Questions:

What’s the most number of features you’ve evaluated when making a purchase?

Have you ever made a joint purchase where what you valued had to be sacrificed in order to please someone else?

What has been your most difficult purchase decision ever?
