The evaluation of marketing concept from mere selling concept to consumer oriented marketing has resulted in buyer behavior becoming an independent discipline. The growth of consumerism and consumer legislation emphasizes the importance that is given to the consumer. Consumer behavior is a study of how individuals make decision to spend their available resources (time, money and effort) or consumption related aspects. What they buy? When they buy? How they buy? Etc. The heterogeneity among people makes understanding consumer behavior a challenging task to marketers. Hence, marketers felt the need to obtain an in-depth knowledge of consumers buying behavior.
