INTRODUCTION
Covid 19 pandedmic has been a great drawback for the consumers . Covid 19 has effected all the major areas of a single consumer life, it has made a consumer worst by not able to do anything or buy anything. The major context that effect consumer behaviour during the pandemic is that
lose of current employment
lack of suffiecient Income
lack of oppurtunities
rising price of products
These points have effected consumer a lot in all ways , Consumer then started to focus only on necessary or daily needed products with reduced price and started saving money for future because of lack of employment oppurtunities and also the economy was facing real depression
DISCUSSION
In my household and nearby households i have witnesed a great problem of lack of employment and also lack of sale of goods and serviceses. Consumers are so scared that people stop purchasing goods for fulfilling their needs and started to spend only on food products such as vegetables and fruits and nothing else , and also due to lack of employment people dont know what to do to earn some money , people has gone homeless , jobless , and lack of savings too . Consumers didnt save money for this kind of unexpected and worst situation people were without any money to meet medical expenses too. The pandemic was so unexpected that people already spent all their income on meeting their needs that they are left without any money which already all the sales companies on their goods. consumption behaviour of consumer reduced to the lowest that companies started to face loss of profits and that turned out to be negative , which lead companies to cutshort their employees to the limited because they are left without ay money to pay for employees as salaries. All these effected their consumption behaviour of consumer . which lead to increase in supply and reduction in demand which lead to reduction in price of goods . Later it also reduced reduction in supply of goods and also demand which lead the gdp of the countries to the worst that is GDP of countries decreased due to lack of production and lack of labor supply.
In my household we reduced the unwanted needs of our family members into only wanting those goods which are required for our daily requirements such as grocerry and medicines and nothing etc we consumed. We cutshort our unwanted needs and spending of money to save for future. we all have gone through such a phase
The eight immediate effects of covid 19 on our households were
lack of sufficient income
lack of money
losses of current employment
lack of savings
reduced consumption of goods
not able to meet the daily requirements
Company running in loss
Lack of profits and our products are not selling out
CONCLUSION
The modified habits of consumer will be to always save money for future , reduce the unwanted spending of money just to showcase the lifestyle , always having backup not matter in what situations . Always to focus on what we are at best and not focus on anything else , it may be focusing on our skills etc
