The 10 reasons consumers buy new products

People buy products because they offer value, which can be grouped into three categories: functional, emotional and social. Functional value includes reducing hassle, providing information, lowering risk and improving access. Emotional value comes from entertainment, wellness, nostalgia, rewards and recognition. Social value helps consumers express status, support causes or feel connected to a community. Successful products understand what customers truly need and create meaningful value beyond the item itself.
