Consideration set is a model used in consumer behaviour to represent all of the brands and products a consumer evaluates before making a final purchase decision. The term consideration set was first used in 1977 by Peter Wright and Fredrick Barbour. The consideration set is a subset of the awareness set, which is all of the brands and products a consumer initially thinks of when faced with a purchasing decision. The awareness set is filtered into the consideration set through the consumer's individual thoughts, preferences, and feelings – such as price, mood, previous experiences, and heuristics. Conversely, products that do not meet the criteria for the consideration set are either placed into the inert set or the inept set. These sets are fluid and the products in each set can change rapidly when the consumer is presented with new information.

Thus, C \cup R \cup P = A \subseteq U Subset Conjunctive Rule: Consumers may determine a cut-off point for each salient attribute of the products in the consideration set. Then, a product is selected if at least S features are at an acceptable level. The subset conjunctive rule is actually a broader category that encapsulates both the conjunctive and disjunctive rules. The conjunctive rule is a special case in which S is equivalent to the total number of attributes. The disjunctive rule is a special case in which S = 1 .
