Introduction

The stages that a consumer goes through before deciding whether to evaluate, continue using, or stop using a new product are the focus of this process. As a result, this is sometimes referred to as adoption-decision one at a time. Marketers need to comprehend the length of time and steps involved in the adoption process to understand why so many new products fail. Most businesses think that if they just create a new product that meets a significant unmet consumer need and properly market, price, and distribute it, sales will result. However, after looking at the adoption and dissemination processes, marketing analysts have suggested many models. AIDA (Awareness, Interest, Desire, Action) was the first alternative model to be conceptualized; later models followed a similar procedure but used various terms. Consumer learns about the existence of the innovation and some of its workings. Consumers are aware of the product at this point but have not yet decided if it is relevant to a problem or a need that has been identified. Knowledge of a new product is thought to be the result of selective perception and is more likely to be spread through the media than at a later stage when opinion leaders are more influential.

Description

It is also regarded as an assessment of the effects of using the product. This means that consumers assess the possible benefits of adopting the product against the risks of abandoning the current product. A person might actively seek out new tales; pay close attention to product advertisements, sign up for product rating services, consult with specialists in that product area, etc. This is done to lower perceived risk associated with implementing new products. Each of the information search and evaluation methods mentioned above has a price in terms of money or mental health. Marketers employ a variety of persuasion techniques. Catalogs are a popular and efficient technique, especially for new products because they offer more information than a traditional retail environment. Consumer actions result in a decision to accept or reject the innovation (i.e., adoption or rejection). Adoption is the choice to fully utilize an innovation as the optimal course of action. This implies continuing use of the product, barring unforeseen circumstances (lack of availability, lack of funds, etc.) that might impede use [1-3].

Rejecting something is choosing not to use it. Consumers use the invention through implementation. The procedure is a conceptual exercise up until this point, but now behavioral change is necessary. The marketing strategy used will determine how successfully an excellent product has been promoted (i.e., sales). The planned marketing mix should make it simple to make a purchase. This entails effective synchronization of new products' communication methods and distribution networks. Consumers look for validation or reinforcement of of their innovation decisions, but they could change their minds if they encounter contradictory information about the product. Additionally, communication channels and how customers rate their shopping experiences have an impact on this stage. After reviewing, people try to justify their actions before deciding whether to keep using the product or stop. For marketers, understanding discontinuance is just as crucial as understanding uptake rates. They research so that marketing tactics can be designed specifically for the same purposes. People who use a product later than early adopters tend to stop using it more frequently. Therefore, when sales of a new product increase, marketers work to improve feedback and follow-up services. As a result, a maker of a new hi-fi product may choose to use specialized periodicals and hi-fi shops in the high-priced section of the market to target the innovators and early adopters. However, various media and retail venues will need to be employed to advertise the product to draw in the laggards and the late majority [4,5].

Conclusion

The adoption process, which outlines how a specific customer learns about an invention, is closely related to the market diffusion process. The marketer must understand that people's willingness to adopt new products varies dramatically throughout the market diffusion process. According to this theory, five market categories can be identified based on how quickly consumers accept added items. It will be useless to market to the "ordinary" consumer unless the inventors and early adopters have used the product and are willing to suggest it. The marketing mix will need to drastically alter as the product progresses through the market diffusion process' parts. For instance, innovators typically read different media than later adopters and employ various distribution channels.
