Retail Customer Buying
Behavior
Buying behavior refers to the
decision-making process that
consumers go through when
purchasing a product or service.
It involves the actions and attitudes
of individuals or organizations when
they buy and use products or
services
Understanding buying behavior is
important for businesses and
marketers, as it helps them to:
1. Identify target markets and customer needs
2. Develop effective marketing strategies and tactics
3. Create products and services that meet customer
needs and preferences
4. Build strong relationships with customers and
improve customer satisfaction.
Buying behaviour is influenced by
various factors, including:
Cultural Factors: Shared values, beliefs, and behaviors of a society
Social Factors: Reference groups, family, social class, and other social
influences
Personal Factors: Individual characteristics such as personality,
lifestyle, motivation, perception, attitudes, and learning
Psychological Factors: Perception, motivation, learning, and attitudes
Economic Factors: Income, employment, inflation, and overall
economic conditions
By understanding these factors and stages, retailers can
develop effective strategies to influence customer buying
behavior, enhance customer satisfaction, and drive sales.
There are different types of
buying behavior, including:
1. Routine buying behavior: Repeat purchases of familiar
products –News paper, Magazine, Milk, Eggs, Bread
2. Limited buying behavior: Purchasing a product with some
degree of evaluation: Cosmetics, seeks advice and suggestions
3. Extensive buying behavior: Purchasing a product with a high
degree of evaluation, Comparisions, reviews– Mobiles, Laptops,
Electronic gadgets
4. Impulsive Buying Decisions :Impulsive buying decisions are
made on the spur of the moment, without much thought or
evaluation. Examples include buying a snack or utility Item.
5. Habitual Buying Decisions:
Habitual buying decisions are made out of habit, without much thought or
evaluation. Examples include buying a daily newspaper or a favorite snack.
6. Complex Buying Decisions:
Complex buying decisions involve a high degree of evaluation and
comparison among available options, and may require expert advice.
Examples include buying a business software or a medical device.
7. Dissonance-Reducing Buying Decisions:
Dissonance-reducing buying decisions involve a high degree of evaluation
and comparison among available options, in order to reduce post-purchase
dissonance. Examples include buying a high-end luxury item.
8. Variety-Seeking Buying Decisions:
Variety-seeking buying decisions involve seeking new and different products
or experiences. Examples include trying a new restaurant or a new type of
cuisine.
These categories are not
mutually exclusive, and buying
decisions can involve a
combination of these factors.
Stages of the Buying Process-
Need Recognition: Customers become aware of a
need or problem
Information Search: Customers gather information
about products or services
Evaluation: Customers evaluate alternatives and
make a decision

decision and select a product or service

satisfaction and likelihood of future purchases
