1.1.2, Nature of Consumer Behaviour
‘The nature of consumer behaviour is discussed below:
1) Varies from Customer to Customer: The manner in which all the
consumers behave is not the same, i.., it varies from one consumer
to another. Several individual factors like, the person’s culture, his
life style, his social class, etc., are responsible for this variation.
2) Varies from Product to Product: The behaviour of consumers also
varies according to products. The consumers may buy large quantity
of one product, whereas they may consume very little or nothing of
some other product.
3) Varies Across Geographical Regions: The behaviour of
consumers also varies across regions and geographical locations.
For example, the behaviour of consumers in rural and urban areas
differs from eachother. Rural consumers purchase sachets of
shampoos, whereas urban consumers tend to buy large packs.
Similarly, the consumers of South India vary in their behaviour
from the consumers of North India for the products like hair
edible oil, etc.
4) Important for Marketers: It is very important for marketers to
have an understanding of consumer behaviour. They need to
understand the tastes, habits, likes and dislikes of their customers as
well as prospective customers. This knowledge helps the marketers
in making decisions regarding marketing mix and in designing other
marketing programmes,
5) Reflects Status: The buying behaviour of a consumer depends on
his status. At the same time, the kind of products and services that
he buys also reflects his status. A person who buys luxury products
like, Mercedes Benz or a Rolex watch is considered as a person of
superior social status in the society.
6) Results in Spread-effect: The buying behaviour of consumers also
has a spread-effect, i.e., the purchase of certain product made by one
consumer may encourage another person to buy the same product. A
person may decide to purchase those brands of cars, electronic
items, watches, TVs, etc., which his friends and colleagues usually
buy. This is one of the reasons why companies use celebrity
endorsements to promote their products.
7) Improves Standard of Living: The consumer behaviour also
results into improved standard of living for the consumer. The
consumer increases his quality of life by buying superior quality of
products and services.
Introduction to Consumer Behaviour (Unit 1) 3
8) Varies from Time to Time: The behaviour of consumers can also
evolve over time. This is because of changes in the person’s education,
social status, stage in the family life cycle, disposable income, etc. For
example, a person who travels by his scooter may decide to buy a car
after his promotion and increase in family members.
9) Information Search: Consumer behaviour also depends on the
information search. Consumers are not in a position to purchase any
product or avail any service until they have information regarding it.
10) Influenced by Various Factors: Behaviour of consumers is
affected by a lot of factors such as, social, psychological, personal,
cultural, societal, demographical, marketing, etc.
1.1.3. Determinants of Consumer Behaviour
‘There are various factors and determinants which directly influence the
buying behaviour of customers. They are as follows:
1) Cultural Factors
i) Culture: Culture is the key element for determining individual's
buying behaviour. The cultural factors influencing the features of a
| society consists of earned values, norms, rituals, and symbols. For
example, a child attains a defined set of values and behaviours from
his family, friends and key institutions. In U.S., a child is open to
adapt values such as individualism, freedom, external comfort,
humanitarianism, efficiency, practicality and youthfulness.
Sub-culture: A culture has several sub-cultures which assist the
marketers to easily recognise and socialise with its customers. It
includes nationalities, religions, racial groups, and geographic
regions. Many a times, these sub-cultures are defined as a
market segment and marketers offer products based on their
needs and wants.
iii) Social Class: Mostly, every individual in the society is a part of
some social class. These social classes are defined on the basis of
caste system which indicates specific roles, which cannot be
changed. Often, the caste system is transformed into a social class.
Social classes are comparatively identical and permanent societies.
“These classes share similar interests, behaviour, and values,
ii)
2) Social Factors
i) Reference Group: A person or a group who is identified as a
reference to an individual, defining the fundamental or fixed
attitudes, behaviours or values, is known as a ‘reference group’.
Being a social class member, an individual always compares his
‘es and opinions with the defined abilities of a reference.
