Abstract: Consumer purchase involvement for various product categories has been an area of attention for both academicians and marketers for so long. However, developing countries like India still lack in-depth insights into the said subject. In previous researches about the correlation of consumer demographic factors with their buying involvement, a systematic pattern between the constructs is found to be missing. This study was done to investigate correlation between: education, income, age and gender, and consumer purchase involvement across six product categories viz. eyeglass, pencil, car, salt, tea, and mobile-handset. Data collection was done through respondents in Delhi and NCR. Results indicate that consumer age and education are not correlated with consumer purchase involvement for most of the six products studied, but is correlated with income and gender for few product categories. This study will guide the practitioners in devising marketing strategies owing to differences in consumer involvement while buying.
