When the need is urgent, it becomes a motive. Perception involves choosing, organizing and assimilating information for a meaningful experience. Consumers go through three perceptual processes. These are: • selective attention – where marketers attract the buyer’s attention • selective distortion – where the buyer interpret the information to suit their beliefs • selective retention – where marketers try to retain information that supports their beliefs Beliefs and Attitudes surround a consumer’s view of a product and alsobuild the brand image, thereby affecting their buying behaviour. This triggers a marketer’s interest in them.

The psychological factors are motivation, perception, learning, beliefs and attitudes which will affect consumer buying decision. Then it comes to the consumers buying decision process. The consumers need to recognise the quality and the price of the products. They will go for searching the information about the products they are going to buy.
