Every family has aspecific structure that needs to be followed upon so that proper relationships can be maintained.From the views of many authors, it has been analysed that family is the most significantreference groups that influence individual’s consumption choices (Carrington, Zwick andNeville, 2016). In family, different people live together which influences their choices and as aresult, it also changes the consumption level. Children generally consume those items which arepreferred by their family members; hence through this, it is clear that children sometimes havethe same choices of their parents. This depicts that parents play vital role in influencing the demand and consumption offood items. The categories of family are traditional and non-traditional families wherein peoplefollow different patterns of living (Garry and Hall, 2015). However, on the other hand, it is alsoan apparent fact that no two individuals have same buying preferences. The buying tendencies ofindividuals vary as per their needs, age, requirements and lifestyles. Hence, it has been identifiedthat an individual’s immediate family members play an essential role in influencing his or herbuying behaviour. What an individual gulps from the parents become his or her culture and at thesame time, they start demanding for similar products and services. Parents seems to have a hugeimpact on the buying habits of children till the time they live together. 3
