How It Works in Practice<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, if a company launches a new smartphone with an aggressive marketing campaign (stimulus), consumers will process this information based on their needs, preferences, and previous experiences. If the product meets their expectations, they proceed with the purchase decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3.
