1. Think of a significant purchase you recently made. This should be a purchase that you considered in advance, as this will make it easier for you to reflect on your own decision-making process.
2. Work through the five steps in the purchase decision process and review how you handled each step in making your purchase decision.

• What kinds of influences affected your decision?
• Were the major influences psychological, personal, social, or cultural?

3. Evaluate your own purchase decision process and writ a post on the Your Purchase Decision Process discussion board that answers the following questions:

• Would you say that your decision was primarily based on reason, or did subjective and emotional factors play a major role?
• How much was your decision influenced by advertising and image?
• How much was your decision influenced by previous purchase experiences?
