ABSTRACT M. MAHESWARI Assistant Professor. The marketing scenario in India has undergone vast change since 1991 due to the economic reforms. Postliberalization, competition intensified in every product line and market, which forced brands to redefine their norms of existence in all industries. In the FMCG industry, especially in toilet soap sector there has been severe competition among the MNCs, national and local players. Brand loyalty is determined by several distinct psychological processes of the consumers and entails multivariate measurements. Product features (Fragrance / Skin care / Germ fight features / Colour) is one of the most important factors that affect brand loyalty. The relationship between the availability of the toilet soap and the extent of brand loyalty was also found to be significant. The toilet soaps can be divided into four price segments: Premium, popular, economy and carbolic soaps. At the same time, penetration level of toilet soaps in urban areas is very high, but per capita consumption levels remain low. In this scenario, it is very important for marketers to know the consumer behavior with respect to toilet soaps, which will be very useful in adopting suitable strategies. This research paper attempts to analyze the consumer behavior towards HUL toilet soap in Sirkali town, Tamil Nadu. Copyright 2015 IJASRD.

INTRODUCTION Consumer is a person who buys or uses things (goods) or services. Marketers are the persons who provide these services. The most challenging questions for marketers are why buyers do what they do (or don t do). Such knowledge is critical for marketers since having a strong understanding of buyer s behavior will shed light on what is important for the consumer and also suggest the important influences on consumer decision-making. Factors affecting consumers buying decisions are extremely complex. How to cite this article: Maheswari, M., (2015). Consumer Behaviour towards HUL Toilet Soap in Sirkali Town.

2 Consumer Behaviour towards HUL Toilet Soap in Sirkali Town It is deeply rooted in psychology with dashes of sociology thrown in just to make things more interesting. It explains the influences on the consumer from groups such as family, friends and society in Consumers buying behavior result from deeply held values and attitudes, their perception of the world, their place in it, from common sense, from impulse or just plain take. Consumers mainly face two types of purchase decisions: New Purchase these purchases are very difficult to be made by consumer due to lack of confidence in decision-making; and Repurchase consumer feels confident in making these decisions since they have previous experience in purchasing the product. Let s examine the process of how a consumer takes buying decision. The importance of each step might vary depending on the circumstances surrounding the purchase. Consumers decision-making process begins when buyer realizes his/her unsatisfied need, want or desire. Needs may be functional or psychological in nature, and retailers are often trying to satisfy psychological needs as much as functional ones (Babin et al., 1994). Consumers are motivated to satisfy their needs; they will next undertake a search for information on possible solutions. Consumers search efforts may result in a set of options from which a choice can be made. There might be two levels to this stage. At level one, the consumer may create a set of possible solutions to their needs (i.e., product types) while at second level the consumer may be evaluating particular products (i.e., brands). The purchase decision may provide three possibilities to a consumer: from whom to buy, when to buy and also not to buy. In many cases the solution chosen by the consumer is the same as the product whose evaluation is the highest. A favorable post-purchase evaluation of the product leads to consumer satisfaction. If the product performs below the consumer s expectation, then he/she will reevaluate satisfaction with the decision, which at its extreme may result in the consumer returning the product. When the consumer is satisfied with the product s performance, repeat purchase is more likely (Szymanski and Hernard, 2001). 1.1 Factors Influencing Consumer Behavior The following factors can influence the Buying decision of the buyer: Cultural Social Personal Psychological 1. Cultural Factors: Cultural factors exert the broadest and deepest influence on consumer behavior. The marketer needs to understand the role played by the buyer s culture, subculture, and social class. 2. Social Factors: A consumer s behavior also is influenced by social factors, such as the consumer s small groups, family, and social roles and status. 3. Personal Factors: A buyer s decisions also are influenced by personal characteristics such as the buyer s age and lifecycle stage, occupation, economic situation, lifestyle, and personality and self-concept. 4. Psychological Factors: A person s buying choices are further influenced by four major psychological factors: motivation, perception, learning, and beliefs and attitudes.
