Hello All,
Let us know what is shopping and then we will list down the vocabulary words on shopping
Shopping is the activity in which a customer browses for available goods or services delivered by one or more vendors for the purpose of purchasing the right option for them.
Now let us work on types of shopping:-
So, we are able to identify seven types of shopping:
- Impulse buyer – The impulse shopper is a master at making sure purchases they know they don’t need to make. A dynamic consumer makes quick decisions.
- Educated shopper – The shopper knows exactly what they want and is also likely to get the best price for the product you want. An educated shopper tends to ask the lowest price from their favorite seller, because they have high hopes that they have enough experience to outperform sellers in all aspects of the product.
- Bargain hunter – This type of shopper is an expert at finding the best deals and can often build a reputation among friends and family like being able to get things at incredibly low prices.
- Negotiator – No matter what the price tag says to negotiator, you want to pay less. Whether it’s about getting the lowest price or it’s about the joy of negotiating and winning, this buyer is one of the sellers who isn’t happy to get into them.
- Brand loyalist – It’s not just brands though; some loyalists aren’t fussed on brand but instead pledge their loyalty to a particular store.
- Browser – The shopper enjoys shopping but comes up with a little idea of ??what they really want. They can be persuaded by eye-catching images and clear benefits.
