Models Of Buyer Behaviour
The black box model, also called the stimulusresponse model, is one of the most simple types of consumer behavior models. The black box can be thought of as the region of the consumer's brain that is responsible for purchasing decisions. Environmental stimuli, such as economics, technology, and culture, combine with marketing stimuli, like the product, price, and promotion, inside the black box, where decisions are made. This model ignores variables within the consumer and focuses on marketing and environmental variables that produce the desired response.

Psychoanlytical Model: drawn mainly from Freudian psychology.
It says that a consumer has a complex set of deepseated motives that drive him towards certain behaviour. We suppress a series of urges while growing up in the society. So the motive for buying any particular brand may be very different from more fundamental underlying motive. e.g: In buying a fast car, motive may be fast commutation but underlying motive may be desire for status & get noticed.

Sociological model: the individual behaviour is influenced in his buying behaviour by society- by intimate groups as well as social class. He has a desire to follow & fit in with his environment. Many of his needs arise out of his status in the society.

Type of Goods
Shopping Behavior depends on type of goods. Consumer goods can be divided in 3 types: a) Convenience Goods: goods which are purchased with least possible efforts. Items purchased frequently & unit price is low. Not much planning behind such purchases. Generally these products are within easy reach of the consumer. If not the consumer may switch to substitute available.

b) Shopping Goods: Items like Cloth, Shoe, Appliances are not purchased so frequently. Some planning is applicable behind such purchase. Buyer is ready to make more than one trip to buy such items. Per unit cost of such products is high. Buyer might compare the available options. c) Speciality Goods: High priced goods as Cars, House, Pricely watches, Dresses. Purchase involve high investment & period of purchase is less frequent. Factors such as Cost, Utility, Prestige, Alternative are taken under consideration.

A motive is a need that has a sufficient level of intensity. Creating a tension state that drives the person to act. Satisfying the need reduces the felt tension. Product Motive: Emotional & Rational Emotional Product Motive are those impulses that appeal to buyers pride or ego or urge to imitate others. This may without evaluating the plus & minus point of such action. Rational Product Motive involve a logical analysis of the purchases. It analyses the purpose expected to be served by that product.

Patronage Motives: Emotional & Rational
Emotional PM are those that persuade the buyer to buy from specific shops without any logical reason behind. I like or its my favorite sort. Rational PM are those that pursuades a buyer to buy from a specific place due to its wide collection or service or product quality. * Every patronage mostly has a combination of both.

Psychological - Perception
The process by which an individual selects, organizes, and interprets information inputs to create a meaningful picture of the world. The individual gathers information from his surroundings regarding any particular product/service. Some people may have selective perception, i.e understand & remember the things according to their thinking. Selective Attention: We hear only what we perceive as worthy. It is a natural defence mechanism of an individual. Selective Distortion: People interpret the things in a way that they get distorted.(Distort the message & retain only things which fit into their belief system). Selective Retention: To retain information which fit into our belief system.
