INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION OF THE STUDY
Consumer behaviour is the study of when, why, how, and where people do or do not buy
a product. It blends elements from psychology, sociology, socialanthropology and economics.
It attempts to understand the buyer decision making process, both individually and in groups.
It studies characteristics of individual consumers such as demographics and behavioural
variables in an attempt to understand people's wants. It also tries to assess influences on
theconsumer from groups such as family, friends, reference groups, and society in general.
Customer behaviour study is based on consumer buying behaviour, with the customer playing
the three distinct roles of user, payer and buyer. Relationship marketing is an influential asset
for customer behaviour analysis as it has a keen interest in the re-discovery of the true
meaning of marketing through the re-affirmation of the importance of the customer or buyer.
A greater importance is also placed on consumer retention, customer relationship
management, personalisation, customisation and one-to-one marketing. Social functions can
be categorized into social choice and welfare functions
PRINT MEDIA
In the mid 1990's print media was the mainadvertising mediaon the schedule for SME's
around the world - how things have changed.
Nowadays,media advertisingis driven by enhancements to technology and the need for
advertisers to reach their target audiences in the places where they are looking for
information.
It seems thatInternet Advertisingis the fastest growing format of the moment, but print
media advertising still has a very firm place in most ad schedules.
One of the main reasons it still works is the fact that people tend to be very much away from
work when they are reading information and looking at adverts in print. If we look
atmagazine advertisements, their main advantage is the fact that a very targeted audience is
seeing them. This is of huge benefit to the advertiser andmagazine advertisinggives them
the space to capture potential customers when they are at their most relaxed.
This is also true fornewspaper advertising, although there is probably a significantly higher
amount of wastage in terms of matching the ad content to the type of reader. Now you can
see why suppliers of mobile phones and car companies advertise in newspapers - most of the
target audience is relevant to the products or services shown in the advert.
Theadvertising costsassociated with magazines and newspapers do vary considerably, but
do make sure that you negotiate if you plan to book a series.

Another area to consider for print is yellow pages and other directories. Some directories are

CHAPTER II
BUYER BEHAVIOUR AND FURNITURE SHOWROOM
I) CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR
Consumer behaviour is defined as that behaviour exhibited by people in planning, purchasing
and using economic goods and services. Buyers behaviour is the process by which
individuals decide whether, what, when, where, how and from whom to purchase goods and
services. Instead of trying to market what is easier for us to make, we must find out much
more about what the consumer is willing to buy we must apply our creativeness more
intelligently to people, and their wants and needs rather than to product Charles G.
Martina emphasizing on the above statement, the target of all marketing activities should be
consumers. The firms have to device plans and implement them so as to achieve consumersatisfaction. This calls for an analysis of how consumer behaves in the market place. Buyer
behaviour may be viewed as an orderly process whereby the individual interacts with his
environment for the purpose of making market decisions on products and services.
Thus, the chief characteristics of buyer behaviour are:
1. It includes observable physical activities, such as walking through the market to
examine the products and in making a purchase, and mental activities such as
forming attitudes, perceiving advantages materials and learning to prefer a particular
brand. The consumers apply both the activities to acquire goods and services and
obtain satisfaction from them.
2. Consumer behaviour is a complex and dynamic concept, too constantly changing, and
therefore management need to adjust with the change, otherwise the market may be
lost.
3. The individuals specific behaviour in the market place is affected by interval factors
such as needs, motives, perception and attitudes as well as by external or
environmental influences such as the family, social groups, cultural, economic and
business influences.
To achieve a better understanding of the consumer behaviour, study of those disciplines,
which may provide some explanations as to why people behave as they do is required. The
internal and external forces and influences interact in highly complex ways, affecting theindividuals total pattern of behaviour as well as his buying behaviour.

BUYING DECISION PROCESS
This model implies that consumer pass through all five stages in buying something. This is
not the case in respect of lowinvolvement purchases. Consumer might skip or reverse some
of these stages. Understanding consumer needs and buying process is essential to building
effective marketing strategies.
BUYING DECISION PROCESS
PROBLEM RECOGNITION
INFORMATION SEARCH
EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVES
DECISION - MAKING
TO BUY NOT TO BUY
POST-PURCHASE BEHAVIOUR
PROBLEM RECOGNITION
The buying process starts with the buyer recognizing a problem or need. The buyer senses a
difference between his or her actual state and a desired state. The need can be aroused by
internal or external factors. In the former case, the persons normal needs hunger, thirst, sex
rises to threshold travel and becomes a drive. The person out of experience has learned to
cope up with the drive and its motivated towards a class of objects that he or she knows will
satisfy the drive.

INFORMATION SEARCH
As the next step, a consumer will try to search for more information from various sources, to
have an idea about the competing brands and their features and to purchase accordingly.
The various sources which provide information are:
1. Personal sources - Family friends, Neighbours, etc.
2. Commercial sources - Advertisements, Salesmen, Dealers, Packages
3. Public sources - Mass Media
4. Experimental source - Examining, using and handling the product
EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVES
A consumer uses information to arrive at a set of final brand choices. The question is, how
does the consumer choose among the alternative brands in the choice set? He evaluates thevarious alternatives available in the market on the basis of certain attributes. There is no
simple and single evaluation process used by all consumers or by one consumer in all buying
situations. The attributes of interest to buyer vary by product, their need, quality, style, etc.
PURCHASE DECISION
Having evaluated the purchase alternatives, he has to decide whether to buy or not to buy. If
he has decided to buy, then he has to take decisions regarding the brand, the quantity of
purchase, the place of purchase and the mode of payment to the made.
POST PURCHASE BEHAVIOUR
After purchasing the product, the consumer will experience some level of satisfaction or
dissatisfaction. This will influence his subsequent behaviour. If he is satisfied, he will show
more interest to buy the product the product or get information that might confirm its high
value. Hence, to satisfy a consumer, a market must try to convince him to choose a product,
the attributes for which a consumer gives importance must be analyzed.
The marketers job does not come to an end as soon as the product is being bought, butcontinues into the post purchase period. Further, proper understanding of the various
participants behaviour in the buying process and the major influences on their buying
behaviour, will help the marketers to design effective marketing programs for their target
markets.

II) FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE BUYER BEHAVIOUR
Throughout the buying process, various factors may influence the buyer. A persons culture,
social class, reference groups and self image all have a bearing on the purchase decision. As

behaviour. Separate marketing strategy can be developed for each culture and market can be
segmented for patterns of behaviour varying between different cultures.

Membership Groups
These are groups to which the person belongs and interacts. These groups have a direct
influence on its members behaviour.
Primary Groups
This includes groups of friends, family members, neighbours, co-staff, etc. The consumer has
a fairly continuous interaction with his friends, family, neighbours, etc.
Secondary Groups
This includes religions groups, professional groups, etc., with whom the consumer has only a
less continuous interaction.
Aspiration GroupsThese are the groups to which a person would like to become its members as well as
influenced by them.
a. FamilyFamily can influence a persons buying behaviour because most consumers belong to a
family. Marketers should study the role and the relative influence of the husband, wife and
children in the purchase of product or services.
