Abstract :

A Consumer can be very vital to any organization in present scenario. The changing globalized world market is enhancing the value of the consumer. The consumer while he is buying the products/services, what kind of attitudes he is opting, and what are the influencing factors are effecting his decision making in buying are very important. The consumer buying patterns changes the company's position in the market as well as the product. In this study we discuss about, how the cosmetic products are moving in the rural market of Warangal district, with consumer different buying patterns which he is adopting in his decision making. It indulges various aspects in buying patterns, and it indulges influencing factors also. What are the impacts of tradition on consumer while using the product of cosmetic, and what are the needs of the rural consumers in consuming cosmetic products, is there any branding loyalty is there, or just they are going with the trend to follow the cosmetics. At the end whatever they may be different results that we found in this study, there is only one fact that we can say, “consumer buying patterns in cosmetic products regard to rural Warangal, they just need products for consumption, they don't think that it is mandatory to them to see the brands of the products, quality of the products, price of the products. They were not aware of all these as they are some what illiterate, and our they are only the people who follows our Indian tradition perfectly. And they feel that roaming in the nights is against. So finally we can say rural Warangal do not want any new trends in cosmetics, they just consuming all these for going with the trend, not for real need.
