If a particular type of fashion style is newly introduced into the fashion market, more individuals are more likely to patronize this trending fashion style. Business owners must be able to ascertain what's trending and what's old-fashioned in their line of business.

* Perception and believe: most times what moves customers and client to patronize a particular product is basically what they believe or percept about it, if a customer or client believe that a particular product is harmful he or she is more likely never to patronize such a product.

We create an image of a product whenever we encounter an advertisement, review, comment, or promotion pertaining to it. As a result, how we perceive something greatly influences how we make decisions about what to buy.
