AHMAD YAZID AHMAD SALIM Children's Influence on Family Decision Making


In a family, each decision is not dependent on parents only. The influence of children is also important in making a decision. Every age group of children, they have their own tastes and opinions. Therefore, parents must accept their views with an open mind so that lasting happiness and comfort life. The influences of children on the process of family purchase decision depend on level of family size, income and lifestyle. The children have a significant influence in the purchase product for which they are the primary consumer such as food, cereal, drink, toys, clothing and school stationery.
Children age and gender
Age of children is an important element in the context of making a buying decision of parents. The older children play a bigger role than small ones. This is because the ability of older people to make a better assessment of a product in terms of ideas, feedback and servitude, while children who are younger are more likely to buy a product by simply asking without making any assessment in advance after seeing a particular product.
Not much difference in the effect of child gender on their parents buying decisions. Boys and girls are almost equally likely in products such as foodstuffs, sweets and stationery except toys and clothes.
Buying roles
Each family has different purchasing decision according to the way of life and their ability to spend. Products to buy depending on their needs and wants in order to create a happy family and comfortable living. This means that children have a powerful role in family decision making and they initiate the potential purchases.
Children with different ages will make parental decision-making process variable. Child itself does not necessarily have the expertise in influencing the purchasing decision of parents but it has significant effects in all decisions made. Parents need to have planning and evaluation before making a buying decision. Children influence becomes larger if the product to be purchased is to meet their needs and the factors involve around their friends.
Product type and product involvement
 Children have less influence in decision-making parents buy the goods that do not have associated with them such as television, smartphones and cars. For the high involvement product, a parent will make buying decisions without influence from children. The children will respond positively to the goods purchased. Depending on the product category, parent’s perception of children influence varies greatly.
Children are less involve in decision making parent regarding about the brand and model. It because of may be that children lack of experience necessary to make decision. Children tend to suggest to buy the product an d much influence with regards to product they like such as cereal, soft drink and candy  rather than product that family use such as vitamin pills, shampoo and toothpaste
Conclusion

Prices and Consumer Behaviour problems during Festive Season in Malaysia

Introduction

According to E. S. Asamoah, M. Chovancová, pricing is importance to in purchasing. Psychological pricing has been used by marketers to influence buying behaviour of consumers. Psychological pricing is the practice of structuring and presenting prices to appeal to consumers’ emotions and to influence their decision-making processes (Pride and Ferrell, 1997). Thus, psychological pricing has play the key role to influence consumer behaviour.
The definition of Ramadan is ‘ninth month’ of the Islamic lunar calendar. Every day during this month, Muslims around the world spend the daylight hours in a complete fast.

Champion



The issue of rising food prices in the month of Ramadan is synonymous with festive season, which typically relates to the increased price of essential goods. In instant, issue of rising prices for chicken meat has become 'champions' for all issues related to festive price increase. However, it is not negligible problems for flour, sugar and other commodities as well as for some spice ingredients to have price increased during the month of Ramadan and other festive season.

Returning to the problem of chicken meat price increased, if thought and studied with an open mind, we cannot be sure why this issue often arises in the festive season. If it is said that consumer demand for chicken meat has increased this season, it was out of season celebration, chicken remains a main course at eateries within the country. Thus, the increased demand is not so great a difference so as to allow prices to skyrocketing in particular season.

Supplier

Reason suppliers increase the price for chicken feed is also causing confusion. Is the price of chicken feed only up to the festive season? Suppliers claimed that the chicken meat prices increased due to the increase of chicken feed. Is it also possible during celebrations in Malaysia chickens served with special meals and the food was too high a price? Thus the sales price of chicken should also be increased?

When consumers think deeply and came up with these questions, then we can see that a lot of reasons from suppliers deliberately caused confusion and eventually became excuses for closing the truth. Practical thinking and a lot of questioning could only be done by a wise consumer. Currently, smart consumers are increasing in number. Consumers begin to aware of their rights and also learnt to get information related to consumerism.

Think twice

In the month of Ramadan, in addition to discussions on injustice from the point of price increases and price manipulation were also discussed was the attitude of the consumers themselves. Just look around us, in the month of Ramadan, there are many opportunities for shopping either in the form of food in the Bazaar Ramadan, clothing and jewellery, home appliances and so on. Examine the attitudes of consumers while shopping, do they think and weight their choices before making a purchase, or do they unintentionally practicing impulse shopping to satisfy their appetite?

Shopping time!


Sometimes we feel sorry for a mother not win the hand to treat the needs of family members during shopping, while children chasing each other in the mall. At times we also feel funny when you see someone not enough hands to carry the bag result of purchases. No less sympathy when see black face of the father, whom fatigue accompanying the family go shopping.

The diversity of the consumers face is a blessing to the dealer. On behalf of discount sales, businessmen deceive consumers with shallow consciousness to continue buying. Unfortunately, we as consumers rarely think deeply and lazy to question too much about this situation. Although awareness on consumerism is increasing in Malaysia, but do not be surprised if many still easily fooled by the discount sales. This happens due to different attitudes of consumers. Although, consumers able to gather information about how to find their rights, there are still many users who avail themselves to be deceived.

Time to change

Therefore, during this holy month of Ramadan, let us all resolve to change. It is time that we as consumers stop the dealer in popularizing their products. Now is the time to become smart consumer.

Often in Islam, Ramadan is a month full of blessings. The practice of fasting is to teach us many things. To be sure, we learn contemplation, resist temptations, understand the meaning of hunger, thirst, hardship and also are modest in anything we are doing. Ramadan is also the month that educates people to practice 'giving' especially to the poor. As a consumer, especially for Muslims, to lose control of oneself while shopping is the opposite direction to these beautiful Islamic teachings to be carried out in the month of Ramadan.

Islam is a religion which rejects the attitude of extravagance. Not to mention the lavish spending that could eventually ensnare ourselves. These meshes are not only backfired, but consequences or penalty will be also felt throughout the family members, especially when we are caught in a debt burden of suffering. Therefore, wise consumer, please think. Are such expenses shall we pass on to our children?

Ramadan is suitable as the basis for all Muslims to change themselves for the better or more righteous. Change ourselves for the better includes ones transformations to be able to control his lust, practice smart thinking and a lot of questioning. Hopefully this will we be able to educate consumers to become smart and modest shopper to finally be able to achieve lifestyle change.

Conclusion

To change your lifestyle to a simple fact has many benefits. Here, the benefits will not be discussed one by one. But basically, with moderate life, we would not have to be quiet because racing be like everyone else, do not be fooled by advertising or offer for varieties of discounts sale and no need to incur debt and living in pretence. In fact, the money may be used for the purposes of personal development and family education, especially for children’s future.

A family consisting of father, mother and child can affect the consumption of goods and services to be purchased. Each member of the family affect each other in making decisions to buy or consume a product. Each family member has a role in decision-making, and can have more of a role.

The role of family members in the decision are:
 
Initiator
     A family member who has an idea or a notion to buy or consume a product or service. The initiator will provide an overview and product information to other family members to be considered and to facilitate decision-making. Generally, the initiator is the parent, but many are also found in the family that the child is also the initiator in the decision to purchase products and services.
Influencers
A family that is always consulted for goods and services to be purchased. While giving effect more often seen by children demanding or forcing parents to buy a product or service offered by his own brother. But also elderly parents can be an influence to respond to the ideas of members of his family.

Gate keeper
     A filter information in general is the role of parents who will sift through all the information and choose the best for his family. For example, a mother who does not tell the new toys to their children in order for her not to be consumptive. Or a father who did not tell his troubles to the family so that they are not depressed.

Decider
     A decision maker in the family, usually a parent. A Mom and Dad can have the same power to make decisions on consumption goods and services. But no doubt also sometimes just the mother or father who has a strong influence on decision-making. For example if a mother wants to buy goods priced and expensive to ask for permission to the husband. A mother can also be the ultimate decision makers in purchasing equipment or needs for children are still toddlers.

Buyer
    A family member who is assigned to buy a product. A mother tells her son to buy groceries to shop, or ordered aides to spend each day.

User
     Every family member can be a user of the goods and services purchased. A product that may be consumed by a family member is rice, but there is a product that is only consumed by some family members only. For instance baby formula, diapers or baby food that is provided to family members of the young.
