CONSUMER GOODS

Consumer goods are goods that are bought from retail stores for personal, family, or household use. They are grouped into three subcategories on the basis of consumer buying habits: convenience goods, shopping goods, and specialty goods.

Consumer goods can also be differentiated on the basis of durability. Durable goods are products that have a long life, such as furniture and garden tools. Nondurable goods are those that are quickly used up, or worn out, or that became outdated, such as food, school supplies, and disposable cameras.

Convenience goods are items that buyers want to buy with the least amount of effort. Most are nondurable goods of low value that are frequently purchased in small quantities.

Shopping goods are purchased only after the buyer compares the products of more than one store or looks at more than one assortment of goods before making a deliberate buying decision. These goods are usually of higher value than convenience goods. Televisions, computers, lawnmowers, bedding, and camping equipment are all examples of shopping goods.

Specialty goods are items that are unique or unusual at least in the mind of the buyer. Buyers know exactly what they want and are willing to exert considerable effort to obtain it. These goods are usually, but not necessarily, of high value. Often the attributes that make them unique are brand preference (e.g., a certain make of automobile) or personal preference (e.g., a food dish prepared in a specific way). Other items that fall into this category are wedding dresses, antiques, fine jewelry, and golf clubs.

The distinction among convenience, shopping, and specialty goods is not always clear. Consequently, a given item may be a convenience good for one person, a shopping good for another and a specialty good for a third.
