Organizations, public and private, have now realized that paying attention to the consumer and placing them at the center of everything-whether is designing products or deciding on marketing strategies- is essential to the success of any business. In the face of growing competition amongst firms within nations and between nations, it has become important to understand the mechanism of consumer psychology. Consumer Psychologists are in growing demand all over the world. They help to understand the needs and wants of customers. Truly help understand how products must be designed in a way that is suitable for the company’s budget and for the customers.
