    select, buy, use and dispose of goods, services, ideas or experience to satisfy their 

    needs and wants. A consumer5s buying behavior is affected by cultural and social

    factors.

    communicating as well as providing the service.

      And one thing which is focused is that the rand Ambassador also plays an

    impotent role in catching the attention of the customer because most of the people

    reported that they liked Abhishek acchan more than &ariya &aran
