Consumer Behavior 2012 presents dozens of surveys analyzing consumer spending characteristics, behavioral responses, and preferences. Easy-to-read summaries of current research and other information useful for retailers, marketers, advertisers, and business consultants are presented. While there are other publications focusing on general consumer behavioral topics, Consumer Behavior 2012 is the only resource that integrates the full spectrum of applied consumer psychology, demographics, and purchasing influences with major consumer surveys. In addition to the assessments of consumer behavior and spending, the 2012 edition includes Consumer Marketing, previously published as a separate reference handbook by RKMA. Current market research and statistics, spending estimates, an analysis of effectiveness, and discussions of trends are presented for each category of consumer marketing. The demographics chapters present valuable insight into 25 segments, including the Hispanic, African-American, Asian-American, Baby Boomer, Generation X, Millennial, Gay & Lesbian, Affluent consumer groups, and more.
