Smart Shopping and Purchasing Behaviour of Polish Consumers

Summary/Abstract: An aim of the article is to bring closer the term smart shopping and to characterise the components and factors affecting popularisation of this type of purchasing behaviour, more broadly referring to consumers’ behaviour in Poland. The author used a critical review of the literature in the area of the category in question and for a practical illustration of the described phenomenon she used the data originating from national and foreign reports of surveys carried out in 2012-2013 by market research agencies (inter alia, GfK Polonia, Pentor, SMG/KRC Millward Brown, ARC Rynek i Opinia, PMR Research). The research findings revealed that under the conditions of persisting economic uncertainty, Polish consumers, making purchasing decisions, more and more often are guided by the principles of smart shopping, being involved in an active search of economical shopping, inclusive of obtaining information on attractive sales promotions as well as comparing prices of different products in order to optimise purchasing decisions.
