'Value for money ' should be more appropriate ... the term 'cost savvy' sounds like preference for only cheap products ... Branded products offering real quality is always preferable ...

depends on the segmentation of the consumers ,but gradually as the purchasing power of the consumers is enhancing we are moving from cost savvy to brand savvy (but value for the money shud always be there

The majority of Indian consumers are COST savvy. The reason being the current market is offering low cost quality products and are reasonable too.

I dont think that Indian consumer is brand savvy because by and large of Indians are living in rural areas and literacy rate is low

The financial status governs the criteria. The lower income group would give priority for cost and the upper income group go for quality and their liking.

SASTA, SUNDER Aur TIKAU is still the mantra for buying. Cost will always be deciding factor. Who would you buy Jogger for 10000 from Nike or 5000 from Reebok or 3000 from Addidas. Well 5k and 3k would be the best buy than spending 10k.

Well in this argument I'l go with Brand savvy. 2/3rd of Indian consumers are in the middle class segment. This vast segment goes for the better quality product rather that low cost product. Quality relates to Brand. So we can say that Indian consumers are Brand Savvy.

Well, truly speaking I support amit negi on this respect but have opted to support this category purely because of my personal preferences to go in for a well established and reputed brand. But to give the right perspective barring my preferences, Indian consumers can be segmented into either cost or brand concious based on their disposal income and a host of other factors. It also could be that at once instance the consumer could be cost conscious and at the other, brand conscious. That is Indian consumer. So hard to understand the perplexities that even the foreign players think twice before setting the price tag of any product. We like the best of both worlds - Branded products at an affordable cost - esp. the predominant middle-class. So in effect, you really can't categorise the Indian consumers here except keep guessing their preferences.

Obviously The most possible Average Indian Customer goes by the Brand. Whom would you go for- BRITANNIA BISCUITS or PRIYAGOLD BISCUITS?

When a product is being procured, 'Trust' and 'Confidence' play significant role for deciding the choice. Therefore, a trusted, well reputed brand certainly influences the choice, and one is prepared to pay even higher price.

i think today purchase power of a consumer in our market is different from past few years...people are more conscious about the brand quality and status also...people dont mind paying an extra penny for a better quality product...and they dont mind for a higher brand...economy helps consumers to maintain the status in the society so that they dont mind paying an extra penny for a higher brand..

Today most of us are brand savvy. Many top brands have positioned their products to the middle class. Since the purchase power of consumers have increased in the recent days, they started preferring branded products...
