The Change in Consumer Buying Behaviour, respective of time
Abstract
Consumer preferences, the foundation of any successful marketing strategy, represent the choices and decisions individuals make regarding the products, services, and experiences they value and intend to acquire. These preferences are not static but rather a dynamic constellation of factors that evolve throughout a consumer's life journey. Understanding these ever-shifting preferences is paramount for businesses seeking to create compelling value propositions, forge strong brand connections, and ultimately drive sustainable growth.This research project aims to delve deeply into the intricate ways in which psychology influences consumer behaviour, shedding light on the underlying psychological mechanisms that drive consumer decision-making processes. By examining key psychological theories and concepts, this study seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of how psychological factors shape consumer preferences, attitudes, and behaviours, thereby impacting market dynamics and consumer trends. Additionally, it looks at how consumer decisions are impacted by outside factors including peer pressure, societal norms, and advertising. The results of the study are intended to offer a thorough grasp of the ways in which psychological variables influence consumer trends and market dynamics
