In this book we present the 'GO-STOP Signal
Framework', which allows managers to better understand the triggers and
barriers of consumer behavior. The GO signal energizes the consumer to
approach and buy the product and the STOP signal inhibits her from spending

influenced not only by consumers’ conscious thinking but also by unconscious
heuristics activated in the mind. The drivers of these two signals are
numerous and many of them are not readily apparent to managers, which often
leads to strategic missteps. More...
