  4. Consumer Behaviour: Why People Buy Marketers spend millions of dollars trying to understand why people buy products and services. Sometimes it seems that there is no reason for a purchase, but in reality there is always a reason. Many factors are involved in a customers' buying decision, any one of which can become the deciding factor, such as: Conspicuous consumption Lavish spending for the purpose of displaying wealth or social status; preference for buying increases with price. Example: In the U.S., a trend toward larger houses began in the 1950s, with the average size of a home doubling over the next 50 years. People have purchased huge houses even at the expense of the size of their yard, the inability to save funds for retirement, or a greatly increased commute time. Need a limo? How about a stretch Hummer!

  5. Consumer Behaviour: Why People BuyContinued… Snob effect (Halo Effect / 360 degree Luxury) Desire to buy something nobody else has; preference for buying increases with rarity or scarcity. Snob appeal can create a halo effect as part of a marketing strategy. A halo effect occurs when a company promotes a single product that generates a great deal of attention for being the first, or best, of its kind. An example of a halo product is an ultra-large television display from an electronics manufacturer. Despite its impractical size and unaffordable price tag, such a product can make other, smaller sets from the same manufacturer more desirable to customers who want to buy from the company that is capable of such extreme products. See Panasonic’s 152” $500,000 TV Snob appeal includes the concept of 360-degree luxury. This refers to the idea that customers who can afford certain luxury goods should have luxury goods elsewhere in their lives. Examples of this are luxury versions of common accessories such as handbags and belts. See Most Expensive Handbags
