Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to determine how the shopping orientations of recent movers are different from the orientations of the population at large. Specifically, the research questions analyzed are: (1) to what extent do movers differ from nonmovers on demographics, shopping benefits desired, purchases made, and life style traits; and, (2) do recent movers form a relatively homogeneous market segment or do they conform to the general market segmentation patterns of the general population.
