A consumer is a person or group of people that are the final users of products and or services generated within a social system. A consumer may be a person or group, such as a household. The concept of a consumer may vary significantly by context.
The consumer is the one who consumes the goods and services produced. As such, consumers play a vital role in the economic system of a nation because in the absence of the effective demand that emanates from them, the economy literally collapses.
Typically 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.
I became the consumer of the eneds you created
Alienated myself
Through hellâ¦and higher grounds
Fascinated by static behavior
I'll obtain what I want, recycle,
Echo, re-echo
I'll set no limits for myself, no restraints
I'mâ¦the consumer of your needs
I'm in a loophole, inside, looking out
First shout, no sounds are coming out
It's a fusion, of future, present and past
