Family is a social group and it can be considered the cornerstone of consumers so it has a crucial place in the perception of marketing. Marketeers closely interested in this issue to know the family which changed and renewed in course of time. It provides a tremendous advantage for a marketeer to know the family structure and its consumption characteristics (Durmaz and Zengin, 2011: 53). In this study, the affect of cultural factors on consumer buying behaviour is investigated. A survey was conducted on 1400 people from the different parts of Turkey.
