Customer Behaviour in services
some differences
Some hypothesis
1. Consumers seek and rely more information from personal sources than from non personal sources when evaluating services prior to purchase.

2 . Consumers engage in more post purchase evaluation than pre purchase evaluation when selecting and consuming services.

3.Consumer engage in greater post purchase evaluation and information seeking with services than with products. 4.Consumers use price and physical facilities as the major cues to service quality. 5.The consumers’ evoked set of alternatives is smaller with services than with products.

6. For many non professional services,the consumer’s evoked set frequently includes self provision of the services. 7. Consumers adopt innovations in service more slowly than they adopt innovations in goods. 8. Consumer’s perceive greater risks when buying services than when buying products.

9.. Brand switching is less frequent with services than with products. 10. Consumers attribute some of their dissatisfaction with services to their own inability to specify or perform their part of the service. 11. Consumers may complain less frequently about services than about products due to their belief that they themselves are partly responsible for their dissatisfaction.
