If consumers’ incomes are high, they buy more of a product, and if their incomes are low, they buy less.  Advertising: The advertising of the product determines how much of the product consumers buy. If advertising is effective, consumers demand more of the product. If there is no advertising, consumers demand less of the product.  The price of other products: The price of other products can also affect how much of a product consumers purchase. For example, if the price of petrol increases, this could affect consumers’ demand for cars.  Weather conditions: The weather can also affect the quantity of a product that consumers buy. If, for example, the weather is cold and wet, the demand for warm coats and raincoats would be high. If, however, the weather is hot and dry, the demand for coats and raincoats would be low.  Fashion: Fashion and trends influence how much of a product consumers purchase. For example, if skateboards became fashionable, then the demand for skateboards will increase.
