Consumer behaviour 

Why will consumers go to the market and buy your products/ services ?

Marketing orientation of business starts with the wish to satisfy consumer needs, as revealed by marketing research, at a profit. 

It follows that anyone interested in satisfying consumer needs should understand what motivates people to buy one product, often rejecting another by doing so.

Consumers are influenced by many factors, beyond simply the price of a product. 

These motivators can be summed up as follows:


     






           RATIONAL (Logical)                         EMOTIONAL (Psychological)



                GAIN OR SAVING OF MONEY                     PRIDE


                UTILITY                                                      PLEASURE


                HEALTH                                                      LOYALTY


                PROTECTION AND SECURITY                       APPROVAL


                CAUTION                                                       FEAR


                                                                                   SENTIMENT


                BUSINESS                                                        PERSONAL

In most buying decisions there will be a main motivator but several subsidiary motivators.  The precise combination of motives will vary from individual to individual.

The main sources of these motives are:


             PHYSIOLOGICAL

             PSYCHOLOGICAL

             SOCIO-ECONOMIC
