2. Who is a Consumer
•A person who has indicated his or her willingness to obtain goods
or services from a supplier with the intention of paying them
•Someone who has purchased goods or services for personal
consumption
•A person or group of people such as household who are the final
users of product or services
3. Consumer Behaviour
It is a branch which deals with the
various stages a consumer goes
through before purchasing products
or services for his end use.
4. Need to study ?
‘You cannot take the consumer for
granted any more’
Therefore a sound understanding of
consumer behaviour is essential for
the long run success of any marketing
program
5. Globally ,more than half of consumers are worried about job loss,one-
third are optimistic about their finances

Customer Insights
7. Four truths about today’s consumers
1. They proactively search for savings.
Forty-four percent agreed that they’re “increasingly looking for ways to save
money
2. They are brand-loyal . . . but only if the price is right.
Fifty-eight percent of survey respondents said they’ve modified their buying
behavior when it comes to their favorite brands.
3. They are selective splurges.
Eleven percent of consumers decided to upgrade their purchases in certain
categories. In aggregate, the world’s consumers appear to be “rebalancing the
portfolio”—spending less in categories where they don’t favor any particular
brand, and spending more in others
4. They shop across channels.
Consumers claimed to have shifted a considerable fraction of their spending
toward online and discount channels.
8. Factors Influencing Consumer Behaviour
Culture:
•Basic values, perceptions, wants and behaviors
•Learned from family and important institutions
Subculture:
•Group of people with shared value systems
•Based on common life experiences and situations
9. Social factors:
•Groups: reference, membership, and aspirational groups
•Opinion leader

Factors Influencing Consumer Behaviour
10. Personal factors:

brand personality
Factors Influencing Consumer Behaviour
11. Psychological factors:
•Motivation: needs and motives, Maslow’s
Hierarchy of Needs
•Perception: selective attention, distortion,
and retention
•Learning: drives, stimuli, cues, responses,
and reinforcement
•Beliefs and attitudes
Factors Influencing Consumer Behaviour
12. Changes in Global Consumer Behaviour
•The most recent Accenture Global Consumer Survey found that 64
percent of consumers switched from at least one service provider — a
bank, utility or wireless carrier, for example — due to poor customer
service
•73% – say they have increasingly been using the Internet to
research and buy products and services in the past three years
•Use of social media is disrupting patterns of loyalty, creating new
forms of commercial communities and recreating the purchasing process
•over half of consumers globally tell us they increasingly consider the
environmental impact of the product or manufacturer before purchasing
• to deliver more tailored services and to shift from traditional products
to the more experiential offerings to consumers
•Customer experience begins before a consumer is actually a
customer. All consumer touch points should offer consistent, relevant
experiences
13. Models of Consumer Behaviour
•Learning Model
•Economic Model
•Psychoanalytic Model
•Sociological Model
14. Learning Model
•The response of satisfaction reinforces the
relationship
•Learns to associate connection between stimulus and
response which becomes habit
Drivers of Learning Model:-
Drive − A strong internal stimulus which compels action.
Stimuli − These are inputs which are capable of arousing
drives or motives.
Cues − It is a sign or signal which acts as a stimulus to a
particular drive.
Response − The way or mode in which an individual reacts
to the stimuli.
15. If the response to a given stimulus is “rewarding”, it reinforces the
possibility of similar response when faced with the same stimulus or cues.
If an informational cue like advertising, the buyer purchases a product
(response); the favorable experience with the product increases the
probability that the response would be repeated the next time the need
stimulus arises (reinforcement)
16. Economic Model
Individuals allocate their resources to maximum needs and
wants
• Law of Principal of Maximum utility
• Law of equal marginal utility enables a customer to secure the
maximum utility from limited purchasing power
1)Price effect
2)Substitution effect
3)Income Effect
Consumers have complete knowledge about the utility of each product
and service, i.e., they are capable of completing the accurate
satisfaction that each item is likely to produce.
Price is used as a measure of sacrifice in obtaining the goods or
services. The overall objective of the buyer is to maximize his
satisfaction out of the act of purchase
17. Psychoanalytic Model
•According to this model, the individual consumer has a complex set
of deep seated motives which drive him towards certain buying
decisions.
• The buyer has a private world with all his hidden fears, suppressed
desires and totally subjective longings
• His buying action can be influenced by appealing to those desires
and longings
18. •According to sociological model, the individual buyer behaviour is
influenced by society—by intimate groups as well as social classes
•As his role, status, interaction, influence, group relation, lifestyle ,
income,
•occupation , place of residence, social class etc
•That is, his buying decisions are not totally determined by the
concept of utility. That is his buying decisions are governed by social
compulsions
Sociological model
For instance
A manager and an employee may have different buying behaviors
given their respective roles in the company they work for
But if they live in the same society or attend the same people , they
may buy the products from the same company
20. Global Household spending
•USA Spends maximum on healthcare about 21% and the least is spend
•by Saudi Arabia 1.7%

by Saudi Arabia 9.1%
22. Demand Function of an Individual
The individual demand function has a functional relationship between
individual demand and the factors affecting individual demand.
It is expressed as −
Dx = f (Px, Pr, Y, T, F)
Where,
Dx = Commodity Demand x;
Px = Commodity x”s price;
Pr = Related Goods’ Price;
F = Expectation of Change in Price in future.
Y = Consumer’s Income;
T = Tastes and Preferences.

•Switzerland — $8,024 per person
•Norway — $7,624 per person
•Australia — $7277 per person
•Japan — $6,556 per person
25. Global and regional per capita food consumption (kcal per capita per day
• The increase in the world average consumption would have been higher
but for the declines in the transition economies that occurred in the 1990s.
•It is generally agreed, however, that those declines are likely to revert in
the near future
•current energy intakes range from 2681 kcal per capita per day in
developing countries, to 2906 kcal per capita per day in transition countries
and 3380 kcal per capita per day in industrialized countries
26. Global Education
Expenditure
•Asia spends maximum on education, especially South Korea 7% of their
household income, while Europe and Central Asia spends least(Russia
approx, 1%)
•Luxembourg , Norway, Switzerland are the highest spending countries on
education with $19,049.81, $13, 510.48, $13,066.64 per student
27. Demand Function of Market
The market demand function has a functional relationship between
market demand and the factors affecting market demand.
The market demand function can be expressed as −
Dx = f(Px, Pr, Y, T, F, PD, S, D)
Where,
Dx = Market demand of commodity x;
Px = Price of given commodity x;
Pr = Related Goods’ Price;
Y = Consumer’s Income;
T = Tastes and Preferences;
F = Expectation of Change in Price in future;
PD = Size and Composition and Size of population;
S = Season and Weather;
D = Income Distribution.

•Critical for companies to provide the right amount of services, so
there
•comes the need of Analytics, which give insightful to companies
Customer analytics is becoming critical.
To understand why, consider this:
•Customers are more empowered and connected than ever. And
becoming more so.
•Customers have access to information anywhere, any time – where
to shop, what to buy, how much to pay, etc
47. Analytics
•That makes it increasingly important to predict how customers will
behave when interacting with your organization, so you can respond
accordingly.
•The deeper your understanding of customers' buying habits and
lifestyle preferences, the more accurate your predictions of future
buying behaviors will be
•Successful will be at delivering relevant offers that attract rather
than alienate customers
49. With customer analytics, you can:
•Increase response rates, customer loyalty and, ultimately, ROI
by contacting the right customers with highly relevant offers and
messages.
•Reduce campaign costs by targeting those customers most
likely to respond.
•Decrease attrition by accurately predicting customers most
likely to leave and developing the right proactive campaigns to
retain them.
•Deliver the right message by segmenting customers more
effectively and better understanding target populations.
