CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR
5.1 INTRODUCTION :

Consumer is the king of the market. All the marketing activities of
all me business enterprises of today go round the habit. Tastes
preferences and attitudes of consumers. The consumers are the arbiters of
fortune in business. In highly competitive economic system, the success,
survival and growth of enterprises warrants a curale knowledge about
consumers. Their behavior how, why, where, what they buy.

Consumer behavior is a comparatively new field of study. It is the
attempt to understand and product human actions in the buying role. It
has assumed growing importance under customer oriented marketing
planning management. Buyers market for many products and the growth
of consumerism and consumer legination since 1960 have created special
interest in buyer behaviour.

The term consumer behaviour can be define a "the behaviour that
consumers display in searching for, purchasing, using evaluating and
disposing of products and services that they expect will satisfy there
needs" the study of consumer behaviour is the study of how individuals
make decision to spend their available resources (Money, time, effort) on
consumption related items. Thus, consumer behaviour is all social, and
physical behaviour of potential consumers as they become aware of
evaluate purchase consume and tells others about the products or
services.



5.2 MEANING OF CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR :

The term 'Consumer' refers to a person who buys goods are
services for his personal or household use and not resale. On the other
hand, the term 'buyer' refers to a person who purchase goods either for
resale or for his personal or household use. So strictly. They are distinct.
But in practice, these two terms use interchangeably. According the term
consumer behaviour' and buyer behaviour are used interchangeably in
marketing.

5.3 DEFINITION OF CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR :

According to Walter and Paul "Consumer behaviour is the process
whereby individuals decide what, when, where, how and from whom to
purchase goods and service".

According to Webster," "Buyer behaviour is all psychological
social and physical behaviour of potential customers as they become
aware of, evaluate, purchase consume and tell other people about
products and service".

From the above definition.lt is clear that consumer behaviour or
buyer behaviour is that behaviour exhibited by consumers in planning,
purchasing and using economic goods and services for the satisfaction of
their wants.

5.4 CHARACTERISTICS OF CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR :

Consumer behaviour has certain characteristic features. They are :

1. Consumer behaviour or buyer behaviour is the process by which
individuals decide whether, what when, from where and how
much to buy.



2. Consumer behaviour comprises both mental and physical
activities of a consumer, when he wants to buy goods or
services to satisfy his needs.
3. It covers both visible and invisible activities of a buyer. The
visible activities refer to physical activities like going to the
market place, buying the product and consuming it. The
invisible activities refer to mental activities like thinking about
the product, decider to buy or not to buy the product, deciding
to buy one brand instead of another brand, and so on.
4. Buyer behaviour is very complex.
5. Buyer behaviour is dynamic. That is, it constantly changing.
6. An individual's behaviour is influenced by internal factors like
needs, habits, instincts, motives, attitudes, etc, and also by
external or environmental factors like family, social groups,
culture, status, position, economic and business conditions, etc.
7. Consumer behaviour is an integral part of human behaviour,
and so, it cannot be separated from human behaviour.
8. In many cases, the buying behaviour is the sum total of the
behaviour of a number of persons. For instance, the decision to
buy a car for a family is made by all the members of the family
jointly. This makes the study of consumer behaviour complex.
9. In some cases, the decision to buy is taken not by the consumer
himself, but by a third party. For instance, in the consumer
himself, but by a third party. For instance, in the case of a
patient, the decision regarding the medicine to be purchased is
taken by the doctor. The purchase is made by the relatives of the
patient and the medicine is actually consumed by the patient.
This also makes the study of consumes behaviour complex.



10. Consumer behaviour is influenced by a number of marketing
stimuli offered by the marketer.
11. Buyer behaviour involves both individual (i.e. psychological)
process and group (i.e. social) process.
12. Consumer behaviour is basically social in nature. So social
environment plays an important role in shaping buyer
behaviour.

5.5 DETERMINATIONS OF CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR :

The buyer behaviour is influenced by several factors and forces.
They are

I II III
Psychological factor Socio-cultural factor Economic factor

A) Motivation :

Motivation is the undertaking force of any human activity it is a
psychological technique of inspiring human beings to act in a particular
way. In the field of marketing, motivation enacts as a driving force that
impels an individual to take action to satisfy his need. It is a mental
phenomenon affected by perceptions, attitudes & traits. Further is also
affected by culture & marketing efforts. Thus, motives means needs
which constitute the basis determinant of demand. "A motive is a strong
feeling, urged instinct, desire or emotion which makes an individual to
take a buying decision".

5. Self Actualization Needs : These are concerned with the desire to
achieve the maximum of capability.

Ex :- Beauty, higher position etc...

b) Perception :

A motivated person is ready to act now but how the person acts is
influenced by his perception of the situation. A human being is influenced
by 5 senses namely, sight, hearing, smell, touch & taste. But each person
perceives, organizes & interprets the sensoring information in his own
way. This is called perception.

However, people can form different perceptions of the same
stimulus because of 3 perceptional process namely, selective exposure,
selective distortion & selective retention.

c) Learning :

Learning describe changes in an individual behaviour arising from
experience. Learning theorists, say that most human behaviour is learned.
Learning occurs through the inter play of desires, stimuli, cues, responses
and re-inforcements.

A desire is a strong internal stimulus that calls for action. The
desire becomes a motive when it is directed toward a particular stimulus
object (eg. Television). The response of a person to the idea of buying a
T. V. is conditioned by the surrounding cues. Cues are minor stimuli that
determine when, where & how the person responds. Seeing a T. V. in a
shop window. Hearing of a special sale price & receiving the opinion of
the other members of the family are all cues that can influence one's
interest in buying a .T. V.



Suppose a person buys it and the response is rewarding he will use,
the T. V. more & more. This shows his response to T V more reinforced.
His post buying experience of T. V. makes into or reinforces him to buy
that companies brand only.

which influences the buying behaviour.

something. These beliefs based on knowledge, opinion or faith these
beliefs embrance products & services, brand images & marketers are
interested in such beliefs.

qualities that determine his behaviour.

Personality is made up of such personnel traits of dominance,
adventurousness, responsibility, aggressiveness, independence, Self
consicious etc., which indicates how people behave.



The self concept also called self image indicates how a person Sees
himself & how he believes others to see him at a particular time.

• Socio Culture Determinant:

The human behaviour, attitudes & believes are influenced &
shaped by Socio cultural factors like family, reference groups, social
class, culture, occupation & life style.

a) Family :

The members of the family can strongly influence the buying
behaviour the fasters, likes, dislikes & life styles are rooted in the family
buying behaviour.

The family influence on the buying behaviour in two ways.

a) The family influence on individual attitudes & evaluating
criteria.
b) Its influence on purchased decision making.

The consumer research have shown that consumer's pass through
various stages like marriage, birth of a child, maturation of children,
married children, older couples with no children at home etc., these
different stages, greatly influences their buying behaviour.

b) Reference Group :

A persons buying behaviour is influenced by many small groups
these groups have social, economic, professional or religions relation.
They serve or direct or indirect points of comparison in the formation of a
persons behaviour. These groups are primary groups such as family,
friends neighbours, co-workers having regular interaction.



Secondary groups are religious groups, professional associations &
trade unions.

c) Social Class & Caste :

Social class is a permanent & homogenous division in a society
where individuals or families sharing similar values, life styles,
interests & behaviour can be categorized.

Consumer behaviour is determined by the Social class to which he
belongs to. These classes are upper class, middle class & lower class.
Upper class people are aggressive in buying & analyse less. Middle Class
are more informative but lower class buys on impulse, & influenced by
point of purchase materials.

Caste is another group which also determines the buying behaviour
of a consumer. Caste is a group of people with a developed life of its own
whose membership is determined by birth. There are many caste in India
& marketing managers have to concentrate on their behaviour.

d) Culture :

Culture is a way of life & overall social benefit. It is a distinctive
from of environmental adaptation by a whole society of people it consists
of a unique set of learned believes, values, attitudes, habits, dress,
tradition, philosophy shared by the people from generation to generation.
This culture influences the pattern of consumption & decision making.
Our cultural institutions like temples, Schools, language provide
guidelines to the marketers. This culture also consist sub culture like
religion, region, language & way of life.

styles & buying decisions differ according to the income level of the
occupations. Eg. Doctor, advocates etc.

activities, interests & opinion.

ECONOMIC DETERMINANT :

The consumer behaviour is largely influenced by the economic
factors like personal income, family income, income expectations,
savings, liquid assets consumer credit etc.

1. PERSONAL INCOME : Personal income attempts to establish
relation between income & spending habits. This income
represents potential purchasing power that a buyer has. The
change in income has direct relation on buying habits.
2. FAMILY INCOME : the Size of family & its income affect
the spending & saving patterns. Generally, large families spend
more than small fami81es and vice-versa.
3. INCOME EXPECTATION : The expected income to receive
in future has a direct relationship with buying behaviour. The
expectation of higher or lower income has a direct effect on
spending plants. A change in the amount of savings leads to a
change in the expenditure of an individual. If he decides to save
more he will spendless on comforts & Luxuries.



4. LIQUID ASSETS : It is an asset which can be easily converted
into cash quickly without any loss. If an individual has more
liquid assets he goes for buying comforts. Eg Shares
certificates, bank deposits.
5. CONSUMER CREDIT : Facility of consumer credit system
like hire purchase, installments credit cards etc. play an
important role in purchase decision. Normally the durable goods
are purchased under credit.

5.6 SIGNIFICANCE OF CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR :

The consumer is me focus of marketing efforts. The consumer is
regarded as a "Black Box" and we cannot see what is going on in his
mind. The modern marketing concept spws out the real significance of
consumer or buyer behaviour. In order to operation alise this market
concept, marketing management attempts to solve some consumption
problems of consumers. However, no businessman can possibly help
consumers solve thus consumption problems unless he understands them,
and unless he makes an attempt to understand the very buying process
and all the factors indwelling it.

Consumer behaviour is dynamic. Therefore it is necessary to
continuously study analyse and understand it, and monitor their
understanding to the marketing management so that effective decisions
can be taken in respect of products, price promotion and distribution.

The profit position of a product hinges on the kind of
predisposition, whether positive or negative that a consumer has
development towards it.



The study of buyer behaviour takes us to the roots of "Why" a
consumer has positive or negative pre dis position. Beridcs, the Indian
marketing conditions in particular the role of the government an a the
steadily emerging consumer movement necessitates the marketers in
India must understand consumer behaviour their needs aspirations
expectations and problems, it will be ouremely useful in exploiting
marketing opportunities and meeting the challengers that the Indian
market offers.

Thus, in substance, It may be said that a knowledge of consumer
behaviour would render immenu here for planning and implementing
marketing strategies.

5.7 CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR IS INTER DISPLINARY :

The field of consumer behaviour is bases upon concept and
theories about people. Which have been developed by scientists. In
disciplines and field of enquiry other than marketing. This
interdisciplinary nature of consumer behaviour is perhaps its greater
strength. The major discipline on which consumer behaviour is based
includes psychology. Sociology socio-psychology. Cultural anthropology
& economics.
