factors involved?

PEER : Point – Explain – Example – Result
Respond 2
Sometimes people are more likely to buy produces
because celebrities have been employed to advertise
them. In buying the product, the consumer may feel
‘closer’ to the person they admire. An example for this
is when famous sportsmen or women endorse a
particular brand of trainer or sportswear. Indeed, the
powerful influence of this type of advertising on
consumer behavior is reflected in the large sums of
money such celebrities are often paid for their
advertising work

their newborn babies who are alone and feel adrift. By shopping, housewives could kill the tediously long time and
balance their emotions. In fact, shopping is a helpful psychological therapy for these cases and they should be
understood and sympathized with.

 People often buy products they do not really need because they want to display their status
or wealth

People often buy products that they do not really need because they want to display their
wealth or that they are people in high station. For instance, some women buy luxury
goods or new kitchen equipment to show off their status in front of other women. In
addition, men buy new automobiles or expensive watches to parade their reputation to
their friends and colleagues. They do all this because they want to gain the envy and
admiration of others. Indeed, this behavior could bring people into a very dangerous
situation which might be debts or long-term troubles

them in a positive way to make their lives more enjoyable or interesting. A typical
example of this kind of customer is collectors. They collect objects because it is

hundred of scrunchies, earrings or hand bags to please themselves because of
watching the collections every day makes them feel happier. Actually, enjoying and
gratifying our lives are a good idea; however, consumers should pay attention to
how much they may splurge on sparkling but inappropriate things
