The primary objective of this paper is to study gold and consumer behavior. The respondents were consumers from various selected gold jewellery outlets in Cochin and Delhi. During the course of this study, the researcher tries to find the various incentives that encourage people to invest in general, and also the level of awareness and the general attitude of consumers towards gold as an investment. It also studies the consumer behavior of how people choose to buy gold, when they do and the various reasons for it. From the study it is found out that the demand for gold as an investment is gaining momentum among consumers, especially in Cochin and Delhi. The study also makes it clear that gold is price sensitive at low prices but it is insensitive to price increase, especially in Kerala. This finding has a lot of implications when Authorities formulate policies to curb consumption of gold.
Brands must do better when marketing to women. Women control and influence 65% of consumer spend worldwide (80% in the US). Yet nine out of ten women say advertisers “don’t understand” them). BEYOND PINK suggests ways brands can do better—at understanding women and going “beyond pink” to create the right kinds of experiences to engage them. We drew on latest research as well as the insights of over 60 marketers we gathered on June 6th for a panel with Michelle Cordial of SUBWAY®, Celine del Genes of Reebok, Nancy Go of Wayfair.com and Bernadette King of Procter & Gamble.

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

2. BACKGROUND:
The Indian Kings once used diamonds, which are now considered to be as precious stones, as
paperweights! Later, the preciousness was created in the minds of the consumers as royal
families wore them as jewels. This created the aspiration for the common man to buy the
diamond jewels as it portrayed their richness to their society. This evolution in the mindset of
the people about diamond jewels, created the urge to understand about the current consumers’
buying behaviour and their perception about diamond jewellery.
DESIGN OF THE STUDY:
Target Group:
Women who have purchased atleast three diamond jewels
Age: Above 30 years
Occupation: Homemaker
No. of interviewees: 2
My Sister: 30-45 years
My Mother:>45 years
Methodology to be used:
A questionnaire will be given to the interviewee, so that their decision making process can be
understood. After this, an in-depth interview will be conducted and will be personally
observed (during their purchase of a diamond jewel). The interview will be recorded in an
audio format.

5. CONSUMER DECISION:
Both the respondents are ‘Practical Loyalists’ and they follow a ‘Conjunctive Decision
Rule’ (Non-Compensatory rule). They establish a minimum acceptable level for each
attribute present in the criteria of evaluation. Since, they are very particular about all the
attributes, they have very less acceptable brands such as Mehta Jewellery and Kirtilal
Jewellery.

‘Learn-Feel -Do Hierarchy Matrix’.

by wearing the diamond jewel

6. CONSUMER LEARNING:
Mother Sister
Motivation To show prestige and financial To show prestige and financial wealth
wealth of my family of my family
(Cognitive Arousal) (Cognitive Arousal)
Cues On seeing my peer group On seeing my peer group or any
advertisement
Response Will purchase only when my father Will start saving money on a monthly
has surplus cash in hand or will basis (like Recurring Deposit or join
purchase for a very important any scheme conducted by Mehta
function Jewellery or Kirtilal)
The stereotype explains the ‘Response (Consumer Learning)’ as my mother (relationship-
dictated) is dependent on my father’s income (or prefers to purchase in exchange of gold
jewels) whereas my sister (achievement driven) is self-dependent and saves her own money.
PERSONALITY:
Mother Sister
Consumer Dogmatism Low Low
Social Character Other-directed Inner-directed
Need for Uniqueness High High
Optimum Stimulation Level Low Low
Both the respondents prefer variety and trendy diamond jewels. (Consumer
Dogmatism- Low).
Both the respondents prefer unique diamond jewels. (Need for Uniqueness: High)
Both the respondents are not willing to take a risk in purchasing a diamond jewel
from shops that they are unaware and from the unacceptable jewel shops as it is of
high investment. (Optimum Stimulation Level: Low)
o Incident:My mother mentioned that she purchases gold jewel from Tanishq
because it is a part of the Tata group, which is known for its trust. But, she lost
the trust or got the suspicion about the diamond jewels that were displayed as
they were categorised into:
Consumers who are particular about daag-free diamonds
Consumers who are not particular about daag-free diamonds
Consumers who prefer American diamonds (artificial diamonds)
The respondents differed only in their ‘Social Character’ as it is explained by their
stereotypes.

7. Cognitive Personality Factors:
Mother Sister
Need for Cognition:
High, if the respondent is responsive to High High
product related information in an
advertisement
Interpersonal Influence:
Value expressive, if consumers enhance
their social standing to be similar to Value Expressive Value Expressive
those with whom they compare
themselves
Mother Sister
Consumer Materialism:
Happiness, if respondents consider that the Happiness Happiness
possessions are necessary for well-being and
satisfaction in life
Fixated Consumption Behaviour: Yes Yes
Yes, if respondents display their possessions
Consumer Ethnocentrism:
Yes, if the respondent feels if it is No Yes
inappropriate to purchase foreign-made
products
CONCLUSION:
Based on the study conducted on my mother and sister, it was found that, both the
respondents have the same decision rule, motivational factors, learning process and
personality traits. They differed in their ‘Buying Roles’, ‘Social Character’ and ‘Response to
the Cue’ as they were an outcome of their stereotype.
Hence, new brands (as unacceptable brands have failed to earn the trust) have to earn the trust
amongst families having a relationship-dictated mother and an achievement-driven daughter
(who are well aware about the product category) by meeting their criteria of evaluation.
