THEROTICAL BACKROUND OF STUDY
CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR: -
Consumer behavior is defined as “all psychological; social and
physical behavior potential customer as they become aware of evaluate, purchase,
consume and tell others about products and services.” Each element of this
definition is important.
1) Buyer behavior involves both individual (psychological) processes
and group (social) processes.
2) Buyer behavior is reflected from awareness right through post –
purchase evaluation indicating satisfaction or non-satisfaction, from
purchases.
3) Buyer behavior includes communication, purchasing and
consumption behaviour.
4) Consumer behaviour is basically social in nature. Hence social
environment plays an important role in shaping buyer beheviour.
5) Buyer beheviour includes both consumer and business buyer
behaviour.

CULTURAL FACTORS :
Cultural factors exert the broadest and deepest influences on consumer
behavior
Culture:
Culture is the most fundamental determinant of a person’s wants and
behaviour. The growing child acquires a set values, perception preferences, and
behaviour through his or his family and other key institution. A child growing up in
America is exposed to the following values: achievement and success activity,
efficiency and practicality. Progress material comfort, individualism, freedom,
external comfort, humanitarianism, and youthfulness.
Social class:
Social classes have several characteristics. First persons within each
social class tend to behave more alike than persons from two different social classes.
Seconds, persons are perceived as occupying inferior or superior positions according
to their social class. Third a person’s social class is indicated by a number of
variables, such as occupation, rather than by any single variable. Fourth, individuals
can more from one social class to another up or down during their lifetime. The
extent of this mobility varies according to the rigidity of social stratification in a
given society.
R.I.T. Management Studies, Sakharale 23
Shivaji University, Kolhapur
SOCIAL FACTORS :
A consumer’s behavior is also influenced by such social factors as
reference groups, family and social roles and statuses.
Reference groups:
Many groups influence a person’s behavior. A person’s reference groups
consist of all the groups that have a direct (face-to- face) or indirect influence on the
person’s attitudes or behavior. Groups having direct influences on the person are
called membership of the groups. These are groups to which the persons belongings
and interacts. Some are primary groups, such as family, friends neighbor, and
coworkers, with which interacts fairly continuously. Primary groups tend to
behavior informal. A person also belongs to secondary groups. Such as religious
professional, and trade union groups, which tend to be more formal and require less
continuous interaction.
Reference group influence changes as products pass through the products
life cycle. When a product is first introduced the decision to buy it is heavily
influenced by others. in the market growth stage, group influenced by other, but the
brand chosen is less influences by other. In the market growth stage, group
influences is strong on both product and brand choice. In the product maturity stage,
brand choice but not product others heavily influence choice. In decline stage, group
influences is weak both product and brand choices.
R.I.T. Management Studies, Sakharale 24
Shivaji University, Kolhapur
PERSONAL FACTORS:
A buyer’s decisions are also influenced by personal characteristics, notably
the buyer’s age and life cycle stage, occupation, economic circumstance, lifestyle,
and personality and self-concept.
1) Age and life cycle stage:
People buy different goods and services over their lifetime. They eat baby
food in the early years, most foods in the growing and mature years and special diets
in the later years. People’s taste in clothes, furniture, and recreation is also age
related.
Some recent work has identified psychological life stage. An adult
experiences certain passages or transformations as they go through life. Marketers
pay close attention to changing life circumstance divorces, widowhood, remarriage
and their effect on consumption behavior
2) Occupation:
A person’s occupation also influences his or her consumption pattern. A
blue-collar worker will buy work clothes, work shoes, lunch boxes, and bowling
recreation.
A company president will buy expensive suits, air travel, and country club
membership and a large sailboat. Marketers try to identify the occupational groups
that have above average interest in their products and services.
R.I.T. Management Studies, Sakharale 25
Shivaji University, Kolhapur
3) Economic circumstances:
Product choice is greatly affected by one’s economic circumstances.
People’s economic circumstances consist of their spend able income (its level,
stability, and time pattern), saving and assets (including the percentage that is
liquid), debts, borrowing power, and attitude toward spending versus saving.
4) Lifestyle:
People coming from the same subculture, social class, and occupation
may lead quite different lifestyles.
A person’s lifestyle is the person’s pattern of living in the world as
expressed in the person’s activities, interests, and opinions lifestyle portrays the
“whole person” interacting with his or her environment. Marketers will search for
relationships between their products and lifestyle groups.
5) Personality and self concept:
Each person has a distinct personality that will influence his or her buying
behavior. By personality we mean the person’s distinguishing psychology
characteristics that lead to relatively consistent and enduring responses to his or her
environment. Personality is usually described, in terms of such traits as self-
confidence autonomy, deference’s, sociability, defensiveness and adaptability.
Many marketers use concept related to personality a person’s self-concept
(or self-image).
R.I.T. Management Studies, Sakharale 26
Shivaji University, Kolhapur
PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS:
A person’s buying choices are further influenced by major
psychological factor motivation, perception. Learning, beliefs and attitudes.
Motivation:
A person has many needs at any given time. Some needs are bioorganic.
they arise from physiological state of tension such as the need for recognition,
esteem, or belonging.
Psychologists have developed theories of human motivation. Three of the best
known the theories of Sigmund Freud, Abraham Maslow, and Frederick, Herzberg-
carry quite different implications for consumer analysis and marketing strategy.
Maslow’s Theory of motivation:
Abraham Maslow sought to explain why people driven by particular
needs at particular times. Why does one person spends considerable time and energy
on one person spends considerable time and energy on personal safely and another
on pursuing the esteem of others? His answer is that human needs are arranged in a
hierarchy, from the most figures. In their order of importance, they are physiological
needs; safety needs social needs, esteem needs, and self-actualization needs. A
person will try to satisfy the most important needs first.
R.I.T. Management Studies, Sakharale 27
Shivaji University, Kolhapur
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs :
1) Perception:
A motivated person is ready to act. How the motivated person actually
acts influenced by his or her perception of the situation.
Why do people perceive the same situation differently? The fact is that
we apprehend a stimulus object through sensations that flow through our five senses:
sight, hearing, smell, touch, and test. However, each of us attends, organizes, and
interprets these sensory data in an individual way.
Selective attention people are exposed to a tremendous amount of
daily stimuli.
Selective Distortion
Selective Retention
These perceptual factors selective exposure, distortion, and retention
mean that marketers have to work hard to get their message across. That explains
why marketers use drama and repetition in sending messages to their target market.
2) Learning:
When people act, they learn. Learning describes changes in an
individual’s behavior arising from experience. Most human behavior is leaning is
produced through the interplay of drives, stimuli, cues, responses, and
reinforcement.
Learning theory teaches marketers that can build up demand for a
product by association it with strong drives, using motivating cues, and providing
positive reinforcement.
R.I.T. Management Studies, Sakharale 28
Shivaji University, Kolhapur
3) Beliefs and attitudes:
Through doing and learning, people acquire beliefs and attitudes. These
in turn influences there buying behavior.
A belief is a descriptive through that a person holds about something.
Attitudes lead people to behave in a fairly consistent way toward
similar objects. People do not have to interpret and react to every object. In a fresh
way attitudes economize on energy and though.
STAGES IN THE BUYING DECISION PROCESS:
Figure shows a “stage model” of the buying process. The consumer
passes through five stages: problem recognition, information search, and evaluation
of alternatives, purchase decision, and post- purchases behavior. Clearly the buying
Process stages long before. But this is not the case, especially in low- involvement
purchases. Consumer may skip or reverse some stages. Thus a woman buying her
regular brand of toothpaste goes directly from the needs for toothpaste to the
purchase decision, skipping information search and evaluation.

NeedRecognition
InformationSearch
EvaluationAlternatives
Purchases decision
PostPurchaseBehavior
Shivaji University, Kolhapur
1) Need recognition:
The buying starts when the buyer recognizes a problem or need.
Can be triggered by internal or external stimuli.
Or a need can be aroused by an external stimulus. A person
passes a bakery and sees freshly banked bread that stimulates her hunger. These
stimuli can trigger a problem or need.
2) Information search:
An aroused consumer will be inclined to search for more
information. Through gathering information the consumer learns about competing
brands and their features.
Therefore a company must “strategize” to get its brand into the
prospects awareness set, consideration set, otherwise it lose its opportunity to sell to
the customer.
3) Evaluation of alternatives:
There are several decision evaluation processes. Most current
models of the consumer evaluation are cognitively oriented that is they see the
consumer as forming product judgments largely on a conscious and rational basis.
The consumer is trying to satisfy a need. The consumer is

SUGGESTION
In case of Lassi, the packaging of Lassi is not very effective, organization
may try to change the packing and use the Tetra packing like fruity which is
more effective and easy to handle than polythene bag. It is necessary to make
the maximum customer awareness by adopting various programs and
campaigns.
One of the important suggestion from customers was the ghee must be made
available in small quantity such as250 gm, 100 gm, 50 gm. Some discounts
may be given on companies on special occasions.
Television and radio advertisement are so effective for warana product but
even the T.V. and radio, no. of peoples should be read the newspapers but
our organization give less newspaper advertise so increases the no. of
colorful and attractive advertisement in newspaper.
No. of customers in research area warana milk product so easily from their
living area. So organization may be increases the no. of dealers of warana
product in that area.
