For example, a customer buying a jacket may be buying one based on the price, material, color, etc... Any of these benefits sought can be motivating factors to a customer and influence their purchasing decision.
Occasions can be universal or personal. Universal occasions such as holiday sales and discounts apply to all the customers equally and signify a time when customers make more purchases. Personal occasions can be recurring such as buying groceries every week or rare such as buying a wedding gift.

Loyal customers are extremely valuable to a business because they are less costly to retain and have the highest lifetime value.
