Consumer behaviour means the behaviour of a consumer while purchasing a product. It includes different dimensions like durability, quality, price of a product. Their purchasing behaviour also depends upon standard of living. Humans are enigmatic and dealing with a diverse, obscure and complex personality may be not an easy task.
A number of aspects affect the consumer behaviour. It means the behaviour pattern and tendency of an individual. The factors starting from personal needs, attitudes, values and motives, extended to the family, friends, relatives and society as a whole. Consumption behaviour on the other hand relates to the mass of individuals. It restricts its study of end users.
