Assignment
Brand loyalty often starts with the art of persuasion or advertising appeal. Influences are everywhere-most often based on trends, people who others emulate, one's family's ideas, and groups one belongs to.
When people buy products, their decisions are often influenced by social, group, and even anthropological effects that shape their consumer behaviors.
New media have greatly influenced why and how people buy today, too. Social media are about sharing and virtual word of mouth that makes buying convenient, easy, and fast.
