Nounconsumer (plural consumers)
AntonymsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Consumer is a broad label for any individuals or households that use goods and services generated within the economy. The concept of a consumer occurs in different contexts, so that the usage and significance of the term may vary. In economics and marketingTypically when business people and economists talk of consumers they are talking about person as consumer, an aggregated commodity item with little individuality other than that expressed in the buy/not-buy decision. However there is a trend in marketing to individualize the concept. Instead of generating broad demographic profiles and psycho-graphic profiles of market segments, marketers have started to engage in personalized marketing, permission marketing, and mass customization. There is increasing backlash from the public over use of the label "consumer" rather than "customer", with many finding it offensive and derogatory. The consumer is the backbone of the American Retail Sales System (See picture). The consumer drives the economy by purchasing goods and services from vendors. From Wikipedia under the

Q. As above, I noticed that professional are more expensive than the standard consumer level MinDV cassettes. Alright, so what makes that mighty difference? Secondly, would there be any point investing in these more expensive cassettes for a consumer-cum-prosumer? Asked by Jean Michel Jarre fan - Sat Oct 31 08:43:33 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. If you are referring to the "special" HD tapes, the oxide formulation and binding agents are different. But a decent miniDV tape - like the Sony "Premium" tapes at about $3 each (Frys has 8-packs for $24.99 and tapestockonline sells them cheaper in quantities) - and don't re-use the tapes, and you'll be fine. I've been using them for 5+ years and have not had a problem.
