Solution
The bandwagon effect is an exception to the law of demand, as price and demand do not move in opposite directions. The bandwagon effect means that a consumer’s demand for a commodity gets influenced by the taste and preference of the social class to which the consumer belongs. For example, a businessman may increase the demand for golf balls in order to show that he is a successful businessman.
