Consumer Decision Stages Who am I serving? What do they like? How long do I have? What protein will I use? How should I prepare it? What meals do I want to make? What items do I already have? What coupons do I have? What items are on sale at my retailer? Consumer Questions: What retailer should I visit? Where do I find the items on my list? What is on sale? Which items are for me and my family? Can I easily prepare these items? How do I prepare this? Where can I find recipes to prepare what I purchased? Does my family like it? What do I serve with it? Did the product meet my expectations? Should I purchase it again? What other items does this brand have? What other ways/times can I use this product?
