Sales promotions are playing an important role in consumer perception. According to three exposure theory, the first time you see the initial exposure of advertising you will ask ‘What is it?’ The second exposure of same advertising come across to you, you will think ‘What in it?’ After the third exposure, the advertising have already stay in your mind.

In Part B, we analysis and discuss about five stages of consumer buying decision process which are needs recognition, information search, alternative evaluation, purchase decision and post-purchase decision. Once consumers have found their relevant alternatives and evaluated them, they should make their choice among the alternatives in purchase decision stage. In post-purchase decision stage, the quality of the decision becomes important in this stage of process and how well the choice worked out. Consumers start to compare their perceptions of the product with their expectations.

For example, Munchy’s should improve their packaging and build their specific image for a brand in the consumer’s mind, increase Munchy’s product line, increase online advertisement and increase the numbers of promotional activities.

Conclusion, we can conclude that Munchy’s is doing very well in marketing and branding their products. According to our group questionnaire survey analysis, social media advertisement of Munchy’s to create brand awareness is weaker than traditional broadcasting advertisement.  It is for Munchy’s own good if they solve this problem.
