consumer’s behavior is influenced by such
social factors as reference groups, family,
and social roles and statuses.

attitudes or behavior.
Groups having a direct influence on a
person are called membership groups.

primary groups such as family,
friends, neighbors, and co-workers
with whom the person interacts fairly
continuously and informally.
•Some membership groups are
secondary groups such as religious,
professional groups that tend to be
more formal.
