11. >> Social Class
Social Class also influences buying behaviour. Social classes shows
distinct product and brand preferences in purchase decisions related
to Clothing and Jewellery.
Eg. People purchasing dress materials from Kalamandir, Raymond
Showroom, WLS, Weekender and Lee Showroom at Bhubaneswar
and People purchasing from small retail outlets.
Same way People purchasing Jewellery from Lal Chand Jewellers,
Khimji Dayabhai are different from those purchasing from Kanak
Jewelers and the Local Jewelers.
14. The social classes also differ in their media exposure, with higher
social class consumers having greater exposure to Magazines and
Newspaper, but lower class consumers read magazines, they tend
to be romance, movie/ film based magazines.
So as “You” as a Marketing Manager must design an advertising
layout suitable to the target social class.

him/her to new lifestyles by influencing the person’s attitudes and
self concept, because he/she normally desires to “fit in”.
Further the group also creates pressure for conformity to group
attitudes and behaviour that may affect the person’s actual product
/ brand choice.

18. > Family
Members of the buyer’s family can exercise a strong influence on the
buyer behaviour. In a nuclear family either the husband is more
dominant… sometimes the wife or equal influence.
Observations in most Cases:
Husband Dominant :Automobiles, Computer, Insurance Policies
Wife Dominant : Washing Machines, Kitchen appliances or
Home Appliances
Equal Participation : Housing, Recreational activities,
Entertainment.

19. Eg. If a couple are planning to purchase a car… the decision related to
“when to buy” may be primarily by the husband… but regarding
“what color” may be the wife or may be a joint decision.
So, it is the responsibility of the marketer to develop a marketing
communication which may be directed differently at the influencing
personality at the various stages of the buying process.
