Transactional
- Transactional shoppers are focused only on todays transaction and give little thought to the possibility of future purchases from you.
- Their only fear is of paying more than they had to pay. Transactional shoppers are looking for price and value.
- They enjoy the process of comparing and negotiating and will likely shop at several stores before making their decision to purchase.
- Transactional shoppers do their own research, so they won’t need the help of an expert. Consumer reports are primarily published for transactional shoppers.
- Because they enjoy the process, transactional shoppers don’t consider their time spent shopping to be part of the purchase price.
- Anxious to share the “good deal” they’ve found , transactional shoppers are excellent sources of word of mouth advertising.
- Relational shoppers consider today’s transaction to be one in a long series of many future purchases, they are looking less for a product than a store in which to buy it.
- Their only fear is of making a poor choice. Relational shoppers will purchase as soon as they have confidence.
- They don’t enjoy the process of comparative shopping and negotiating
- Relational shoppers are looking for an expert they can trust.
- They consider their time to be part of the purchase price.
- Confident that they have found “The right place to buy” relational shoppers are very likely to become repeat customers
Remember this! Each of us (including your customers) can be relational or transactional shoppers; we can be transactional in some product or service and relational in others. More about this in future posts
