In recent decades, international trades and improving living standards havelargely contributed to the large scale of purchase of products. The reasonbehind this commercial behaviors either comes from individual’s needs for themor from envy of those who have already possessed them. From my perspective, theessential motive behind the scene would be for individual purposes.
Admittedly, people would sometimes buy the products because friends orclassmates have them. it is not rare to see that after a high school studens hasbought a newly-released iPad and bring it to the class, other friends would beat first gathering around him to witness how the product runs and then beg theirparents to buy the one for them. For them, buying the newest generation iPadmight bring them attention from others, which has nothing to do with thefunctionality of product. However, on balance, this only happens for within asmall number of people, especially young students and women. For otherconsumers, they would be wise in choosing what they want. In this regard, morepeople are buying products out of their needs.
To begin with, for college students, they are inclined to buy what theyreally want. In other words, due to limited living expenses monthly, most ofthem could not buy whatever they want. According to the recent survey conductedon Sina Weibo, after polling 500 students in universities from Beijing, most ofthem claim that each month they have to manage their living expenses within 1500yuan. Not only does this sum of money have to cover meal bills, clothing andfees for textbooks, but it also have to deal with emergencies. Under thiscircumstance, normally they have to make a plan for money use, and try to avoidbuying things with little practical use. This explains why college students inBeijing rarely buy the newest generation of iPhone or pay for monthly travel,and they have to put the money either on textbooks or living necessities.新托福试题
In addition, male adults are another group of consumers who make purchasebased on real needs. For example, for those who decide to buy a car, the motiveis mostly because the car could help family member to tackle emergencies ordrive them to the suburb for a relaxing weekend. Also, for those who decide toequip with a new Macbook, the motive might have something to do with workrequirement, which asks them to process the data faster and more accurately.Moreover, for those who deicide to spend money on applying for MBA in businessschool, the motive might be related to career development. A wider caree insightcultivated from MBA would give them a broader window of success in the work.Seeing from this, it is the utilitarian purpose that makes male adults buy realproducts.
To sum up, although it is normal to see some customers making impulsivepurchase since, most of the rational customers would buy products out of theirneeds.
