During a recent shopping trip I realised that there are many different types of shopper. Some like to take their time buying whilst others use shopping as a social experience with friends and family. Here I am going to explore the different types of shopper and typical things you would expect them to do.
This type of shopper will only usually buy the stuff that they need. Sometimes they will carry a list of the exact things they need to purchase and will not buy any unnecessary or irrelevant items. They are extremely efficient and this means their trips to the shopping centre are not usually that long.
This type of shopper completes all of their shopping very quickly. They determine what they need or want or just generally walk and browse fast and this means they get everything done really quickly. They can get frustrated with long queues and the slow shopper if they get stuck behind them, but they tend to enjoy the shopping experience even if it doesn't last very long.
The Hate ShopperThis type of shopper doesn't tend to enjoy the shopping experience and will go about their business rather quickly. Sometimes this type of shopper can be in the form of somebody who is dragged along to a shopping trip when they would much rather be doing something else. This type of shopper may not buy a lot when out, which means they are less likely to waste money.
I am definitely guilty of being an impulse shopper. This type of shopper usually buys products and clothing that they don't need, but just think they need. Then after the shopping trip they will regret buying the product and will usually end up taking it back to the shop.
In addition, the impulse shopper may just continue to buy stuff without realising how much they are spending until they sit down and tally up their expenses.
This is one of the newest types of shopper and is becoming more and more popular is the on-line shopper. This type of shopper doesn't even need to leave their home and everything that they order can be sent straight to their front door. In addition, they can order things from anywhere in the world and there is a massive range of products to buy. However, on-line shopping is a bit of a risk because you are unable to try clothes on before they get to you and the product may not be what you expect when it arrives.
This type of shopping enjoys shopping by themselves and is often seen alone. Although they may enjoy other types of shoppers such as social, they may also like time alone to spend some cash.
This type of shopper likes to take their time when out and about. This often frustrates other shoppers, especially if they are a fast shopper and don't like to be held up. The slow shopper usually takes time to consider what they are purchasing and have a relaxed approach to shopping and enjoy every moment of it. Although they may be aware that their habits annoy others, they don't mind and just go about their business.
This type of shopper loves to make a social experience out of shopping. Whether it be with family or friends, this type of shopper will hardly ever be seen alone. They may not necessarily buy a lot, but these types of shoppers love spending their days browsing the shops and catching up with people.
The Splurge Shopper
This type of shopper usually spends a lot of money in one shopping trip. This type of shopper will often be found with a huge smile on their face and lots of carrier bags. I am definitely guilty of being this type of shopper on occasion and it usually results in me buying a lot of stuff that I don't need or will not wear.
So which type of shopper bests suits you? Or do you possess qualities of all these different types of shopper? I know that I'm guilty of a number of these different types of shopper.
