Influencers of consumer purchase

Marketing science has uncovered two factors that drive sales – mental availability and physical availability. This dynamic duo work together in helping a particular produce be chosen by a consumer.

Mental availability

Mental availability

Makes produce recognisable and memorable with the goal of easily coming to mind in buying or usage occasions. Strong branding and consistent marketing build this.

Physical availability

Physical availability

Makes produce easy to buy. This includes distribution channels, store placement and online availability.
