Abstract

The consumer behavior is of great importance in defining contemporary buying habits in the contemporary competitive and fast changing market. The rising access to information, technology and the expansion of online platforms have had a major impact on the consumer buying process. Contemporary consumers are more conscious, knowledgeable and choiceful which has made businesses to be more interested in getting to know the consumer preferences, attitudes, and motivations. This paper will examine how consumer behavior affects contemporary purchases and the aspects that are considered as the most influential determinants in consumer decision-making. Consumers make purchasing decisions based on various factors such as cultural, social, personal, psychological factors along with the impact of digital marketing, social media, online reviews, and brand image. According to primary data obtained via observation of 30 consumers, the results display that convenience, product quality, price sensitivity, brand reputation, and the digital influence are important factors in influencing modern buying behavior. The research findings reveal that consumers behavior is very influential in contemporary purchases and companies need to keep on adjusting to evolving tastes of customers to be competitive.
