 CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

RELATED LITERATURE

Consumer purchase decision has now become a complicated process and is related to

the attitude, perceptions and behavior of consumers. Consumers considered purchase behavior

as a key point to access and evaluate specific product. Ghosh (1990) state that, to predict

buying behavior of consumers purchase intention is an effective tool. Due to the influence of

price, quality and value there is a possibility for changing purchase intention. Gogoi (2013) state

that, during the buying process consumers are influenced by external as well as internal

motivations. Kotler & Armstrong (2010) & Kawa et al (2013) talks about the six stages which

are: knowledge, awareness, preference, interest, persuasion and purchase that researchers

have proposed before planning or deciding to buy the product. Gogoi (2013) states that,

Customers have an intuition that products that are little known, low cost, and simple packaging

have a high chance of risk because the quality and value of these products is not trustable.

There are many factors that consumers will look for before buying a cosmetic product:

Brand, Quality, Labeling, Price, and Advertisement. Irshad (2012), shows that among customers

there is a significant relationship for purchase intention and brand equity. Kotler (2000) in his

study contends that brand is referred as a name, symbol, term, and design used to differentiate

the company’s products and services from their competitors. P. Priyanga1, Dr. R. Krishnaveni

(2016) states that, when a women consumer turns brand loyal it is due to the quality of beauty

care product. High quality cosmetics help to build and maintain the confidence of targeted
customers and convince them to purchase it. Customers are concerned about the quality of

cosmetic products before deciding to purchase them. To remain competitive among the

competitor’s cosmetic firms should increase and concentrate more on improving the quality of

products. Deng (2009), states that customers will look for the packaging style of food products.

The visual aspect of labelling and packaging has an important role in the food purchase process

and have a direct relation with customer and an effect on customer mind. Company always give

more attention and care to loyal customers and take necessary steps to retain them as they

bring more profit to the firm. Wickliffe & Pysarchik (2001), states that, product features (brand

and price) have an inherent impact on customer behaviour. If advertising is attractive, then

customers pays more focus on that and thereby creates a feeling towards the product and that

leads to the way of brand promotion. Those who have loyal feeling show a positive attitude

towards a brand.

When it comes to beauty products, costumers go through the rigorous thought

processing making their buying decisions, since there are alternative products which compete

in the areas close proximity, relatively cheaper price, quality, etc. Brand, Quality and price are

one among the strong competing factors in the decision making process.

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

The proposed research model provides an operational relationships between the

different variables.

Demographic could help and find the right target market to match with consumer.

Social culture could know customers’ think, spending behavior, and feeling to use. Demographic

information is the method that the business could appreciate the target group and revenue

cognition by analysis from demographic.

Quality is not only means characteristic of product or service but it is also reliability that

people measure the product or service form deficiencies, defects, and significant variations. It is

work in process of building and sustaining relationships by evaluating, forecast, and respond

the demand of consumer. The product and service made satisfaction to consumers when the

cost of operation is proper. Therefore, the satisfaction of consumer can lead them to make

their decision.

Packaging is not only materials that could use to wrap or protect goods but packaging could

identify, promote, describe, additional information, characteristic of goods. Packaging is more

importance because the design of package may affect to goods and consumers by attraction,
comfortable, durability, useful, and keeps it clean. Label of packaging is for adding name,

information, usage, and size of products that consumers can determine to purchase.

Price is very important for customer’s decision to purchase cosmetics before making

actual purchase, customers make a comparison and evaluate price with alternative brands

because customers have a tremendous belief or faith in the value or benefit they get from their

favorite brand. Comparing price with value and perceived cost is the best method to build

customer satisfaction. It is observed that consumers are willing to purchase a product if the

perceived values are higher than product cost.

Brand plays an important role in creating a positive image among customers. Brand

name has the ability to create loyal customers as well as to retain market share of the company.

Loyal customers always remain faithful or loyal to a brand, they repurchase it and through word

of mouth they recommend it to others. Therefore, consumers have a belief that well-known

brands can increase their satisfaction level and decrease purchase risk.

Advertising can be considered as a subset of marketing mix (4P) that are place,

promotion, price, and product. For promotion of a product, one of the main strategies used is

advertising such as TV, commercials, vlogs, magazines, billboards even the social media’s

platforms. In order to make awareness of a product in the mind of potential customers,

advertising is an important tool and it influences the customer’s decision to buy a product.

Different Lifestyle has a different influence on purchase behavior including the purchase

of cosmetics. Lifestyle is the format that people live their life, take time and spend money. The

way of lifestyle have many format, it depend on experience, characteristic, environment and
the way of life. Each of consumer’s lifestyle is integrate between behavior, character,

experience, social and environment.

Fashion product industries are variety design, new model creation, and respond

customer needs in the market. The fashion and color trends are very important for consumer

goods. The marketers, planners, designers have a deep knowledge and understanding of

fashion trends to develop and create a progress of fashion business.

There are many factors that consumers will look for before buying a cosmetic/beauty

products and it was identified that the factors are quality product, product price, brand name,

SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Summary

The research mainly focuses to understand the buying pattern of consumers for

cosmetic products. Through this paper an attempt was conducted to identify the different

factors that impact and influences the customers for buying a product. This study reveals that

various factors like quality, brand, price, advertisement and packaging have tremendous

influences on consumer purchasing behavior. This research paper helps to contribute an extra

idea and knowledge to cosmetic companies so that they get to know more about the

purchasing behavior of consumers.

The Grade 12 TVL HE-C students of CCNHS buying behavior is a decision process as well

as an attitude of the people involved in purchasing and using products. Students make purchase

decisions for buying small as well as large products. After recognizing a need or a want,

students begin searching for products or services.

That fit their requirements. Their decision depends upon many criteria. However,

consumer purchases have happened much before their actual purchase. Marketing plays an

important role in this. Marketing & Advertising have a strong positive impact on buying

behavior of consumers, and they directly influence consumer buying a product from a company

that she/he is well aware of. In ancient days, students were not bothered about the attributes

before buying a product. But there comes a tremendous change in the consumer buying

behavior of the 21st Century.

 CONCLUSION

Students purchase decision has now become a complicated process and is related to

the attitude, perceptions and behavior of consumers. Students considered purchase behavior

as a key point to access and evaluate specific product. Ghosh (1990) state that, to predict

buying behavior of consumers purchase intention is an effective tool. Due to the influence of

price, quality and value there is a possibility for changing purchase intention. Also during the

buying process of the students are influenced by external as well as internal motivations. They

have an intuition that products that are little known, low cost, and simple packaging have a high

chance of risk because the quality and value of these products is not trustable.

This research point out about most students will make decision according to their self-

image. In the past, lifestyles of consumer are different to present because at that time internet

is not famous and do not have online marketing. But in the present time internet and online

marketing make more attraction and brand awareness from consumer. Luxury cosmetic

company can promote their product in many channels by use internet and they can provide any

information to there. Each of lifestyle of consumer will become one of factor that can motivate

consumer to buy product.

1. Recommended by their friend, that will make more confidence to consumer about product

because word-of-mouth by friend effect to quality and value of product.

2. Recommended by beauty blogger, they will make a review about each product that can

motivate and separate word-of-mouth to consumer. The consumer will trust and follow them

because there are a lot of product in the market and consumer don’t have enough time to test

all brand. So, the will choose to trust beauty blogger because they assume that the beauty

blogger will choose only quality product to make a review. Moreover, some consumer will lack

of knowledge about make-up so they will do and act as beauty blogger do in internet.

3. Internet in present time makes different lifestyle of consumer. The consumer can easily check

or search the product that they want everywhere and every time around the world. This

technology will make the world smaller and easy for consumer to gain a lot of information

before purchase.
 RECOMMENDATIONS

The researcher should study and focus about beauty blogger for better understand

behavior of consumer not just in the students. This result of data in this research can affect a

company’s, purchase decision and product image. The product image could be positive or

negative depend on beauty blogger’s content.

The researcher should study about event to satisfy students/consumer needs. Events

are outstanding way to stimulate and attract customers. It helps to get the word of mouth and

promote the product on social.

The researcher should study about media platform and social media. It allows users to

share information, content and communicate with friends and others. This movement one step

further and just debuted a section specifically for Trending News on its social media.
