The Differences between Generations in Consumer Behavior in the Service Sales Channel

Abstract

The article presents differences in behaviors of representatives of Baby Boomers, and Generations X and Y in the selection of service channel distribution at the search and purchase stages. The data were conducted by computer-assisted personal interview (CAPI). The study confirmed the oldest consumers’ preferences for the traditional contact in point of sales and increased use of on-line technology as consumer age declines. W artykule zaprezentowano różnice w zachowaniach przedstawicieli pokoleń Baby Boomers, X oraz Y w wyborze kanałów dystrybucji usług na etapie poszukiwania informacji oraz zakupu. Przeprowadzone badania potwierdziły preferencje najstarszych konsumentów wobec tradycyjnego kontaktu w punkcie sprzedaży oraz wzrost wykorzystania technologii online w miarę obniżania się wieku konsumenta.
