Consumer Insights: Consumption Meaning and Motivation

Write up formal responses to all of the critical thinking questions. The responses must be written in full sentences using proper spelling and grammar. Please include the discussion question from the scenario – and then your formally written response.

Critical Thinking Questions :

1. How and why do you think products acquire meaning to consumers?

2. Can you see any potential negative consequences to marketing attempts to encourage purchases of products consumers don’t need?

3. Do marketers create needs?

When writing your responses, please follow these directions:

Write at least one paragraph of content for each question. One or two sentences is not enough.

Focus on the course concepts for the module and utilize those terms.

Formally written responses are required – so use proper spelling and grammar.

Be sure to properly cite any referenced works.
