How customers actually shop: customer interaction with the point of sale

Article Abstract:

Empirical observations of consumer behavior are compared with classical theories to define areas where theories should be modified to enhance their value to decision makers. The study accounts for the impact of point-of-sale interaction and the characteristics of impulse purchasing in relation to the selling environment. The study indicates that interactive influences are present in most buying situations, but exert greater influence with unplanned purchases. Furthermore, the consumer's visual perception of the point-of-sale also influences the buying decision.
