Primary influencing factor is looks. And this could be packaging or anything else. If on a display, my product stands out, then the consumer is attracted to it and is induced to buy it. But the looks should be backed by a very good product else the looks will prove to be counter-productive.
There is no general framework or set of points that will drive consumer in his/her purchasing decision. According to me it depends more on industry and kind of services you are providing.
I believe to maximize sales and use marketing techniques effeciently marketers need to segment their audience perfectly and satisfy needs and wants of customers.
In b2c industry, say colour cosmetics: One major factor for a high end brand will be quality and brand value since their target audicene are more prestige sensitive.
While in a B2B industry like Cummins one major factor would be availabaility of after sale service, quality and availability of technical consultants.
On the other hand in B2C e-commerce industry trust plays a major role especially in MENA region which is why COD is a challenging issue being faced by famous websites. Some other factors in this industry would be transaction costs, i.e. total amount of energy spent by a customer in navigating the website and in purchase of product.
As said earlier different factors influence consumer buying behaviour. To get more idea look at some research journals on EBSCO, google scholar on specific industry and area.
