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.
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
Purchase Decision: Customers
make the final decision and
select a product or service
Post-Purchase Behavior:
Customers assess their
satisfaction and likelihood of
future purchases
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.
