types of purchases

1. Occasional Purchase We could call an occasional purchase the type of purchase that is made sporadically and tends to cover a previously unsatisfied need that has been postponed in time by the consumer. This type of purchase also includes impulse purchases and smaller purchases that cover basic needs. The most common places where these occasional purchases are made are in flea markets, flea markets, fairs, the new "all in a hundred" shops, traditional shops, 24-hour shops, supermarkets, etc.

2. Proximity Shopping Proximity purchases are driven by a need: to meet the demand for food and household supplies in a practical, quick and close way. They cover basic needs and usually tend to cover a relatively short period of household consumption, on a daily or all-weekly basis.

They buy weekly in so-called proximity stores, order some specialist articles via the Internet and make the bulk of their purchases in large stores at intervals of around two weeks (according to the latest studies). This purchase has almost a family character and in recent years some important components have appeared when analysing the way and manner in which the Spanish are supplied.
