    .     The consumer buying decision process is a five-stage purchase decision process which includes problem recognition, information search, evaluation of alternatives, purchase, and post-purchase evaluation.

    1. The actual act of purchase is only one stage in the process and is not the first stage.
    2. Not all decision processes, once initiated, lead to an ultimate purchase; the individual may terminate the process at any stage.
    3. Not all consumer buying decisions include all five stages.
