When Interested In A Product What Type Are You?

[SabinaV]

Are you the kind who often researches about the product.
Or do you like being shown recommendations.

[molonski2]

Depends what the product is.

I don't buy brand names ever unless it represents great value - I'm well aware of the issues with a lifetime in marketing / sales..

So never ever trust a brand , unless there is a genuine reason to do so , there never is in the rag trade for example.

My wealth creation purchases = Hell yeah , and I will buy better than anyone , this includes , land , property , listed products , ETFs , large purchases of merit.
It needs research of course.

Food , I know all the prices , the reasons to spend or not spend , value not waste , few can do this as well as myself , never entrust this gig to someone who ( thinks ) they understand value. I buy nothing processed , or very little.

Therefore , if it's just fun cheap sht , it's no problem., I can take a change , I'm in country where if I don't like it I can gift it to another who will really appreciate it , this sector I don't consider wastage , and often ( more often than not ) I'm surprised to the positive , this works with the likes of TEMU and Lazarda , little point researching , but it kinda fun.


Now another total rip off area is serious retail jewellery, say serious from 2k Aud upwards , I have great contacts here , so I can get a vastly better diamond in whatever setting required , with personalisation, without spending more create vastly better.

I figure you have four types of sales assistants:

- Those who don't know and don't care

- Those that do know and don't care: they just want to make a sale in minimum time and effort

- Those who do know and don't care: they just want to make a sale with the largest markup

- Those that know and care.

Which person are you talking to?

Better to research yourself if it matters.

I use consumer reports. Getting online recommendations are misleading because most folks have only used the product for a few months. I want to hear from longterm users.

Tide iiquid is a great detergent but I changed to Persil because of Consumer Reports. It costs a little more, but you use less and clothes come out clean.

I do so much research before buying a product, depending on what it is and how important it is to me. I like being given recommendations, but I’ll even research those.

If I don't particularly care about the product, then I'll just go with the most highly recommended one.

[Master_Debator]

I'll admit... I reserch the shit out of any buy I make. But to justify that... I don't buy cheap shit... I'm usually making like a $200K purchase or more. I let the wife buy all the cheap shit like food and gas.

[HawkPerception]

I research the shit out of anything I get before I get it. Because of that, I rarely ever get something I regret buying. It happens occasionally when I make a mistake when researching something though

[OlderAndWiser]

I look at online reviews but I'm skeptical of those. I also look at the consumer reports website for info.

[Nikki1989]

I conduct extensive research on everything.

[NathanDavis]

I do both, and more... research, review... and ask others I know who know better too

[beenherebefore]

I like to research about the product before investing in it.

[AngryCarl3]

It depends on the product. If I was buying a car I'd do a lot of research, make a short list (and also a long list) and take some test drives.

[exitseven]

I do a lot of research and give other products a good looking over..

[Iron_Man]

Well yes I would like to be shown personally, but if there’s nobody around to show me, then I’ll have to do research to learn more

[arianna1414]

I will try looking for me but would take recommendations

[Clyde_123]

I research it and look at feedback. If it's mostly positive, I'd buy it.

[LC75LC71]

Both. I research whats been recommended to me. I hardly purchase after doing so!

[Anonymous]

The product is usually some sort of food, and I'm the type who would like to eat the food.

[TsundereMatrix]

Research and reviews.

[Abbycado]

I research a lot.

[WhitneySnow]

I follow my instincts

[DonaldDarko]

I watch videos on it and look at reviews.

[Simslover92]

Research

[robocop666]

I research reviews first
