Summary
Olson (dalam Wisal, 2013), yaitu suatu rangkaian aktivitas yang melibatkan perhatian individu sebelum sampai pada keputusan membeli. Mowen dan Minor (2002), menyatakan bahwa intensi membeli berkaitan dengan keinginan konsumen untuk berperilaku menurut cara tertentu, seperti memiliki, membuang, dan menggunakan sebuah atau beberapa produk. Loudon dan Bitta (1979), menyatakan intensi membeli termasuk dalam sikap konsumen terhadap produk yang dimunculkan sebagai pertanda dari perilaku membeli (dalam Sari & Achmat, 2013). Dalam menentukan keinginan seseorang dalam mematuhi norma-norma tersebut, akan melibatkan pertimbangan individu terhadap dua komponen, yaitu: keyakinan pribadi mengenai apa yang perlu dilakukan dan keyakinan individu mengenai apa yang diharapkan oleh masyarakat atau orang-orang yang penting baginya.

Menurut Sarwono (2012) masa remaja di mulai pada usia 10 sampai 12 tahun dan berakhir pada usia sampai 22 tahun
