Imagine that you have decided to buy a new phone. What factor will be decisive for you when making your choice?

Select an answer:

The price that is most important to me. Brand reputation and its guarantee. Functions and technical parameters that I need the most. Recommendations from friends and acquaintances who are already using the phone. Reviews and ratings on the internet from experts and regular users.

How would you react if you found out that the product you purchased is not the best choice?

Select an answer:

I will try to customize it even more or learn to work with it. I will contact the seller or manufacturer and request a replacement or a refund. I will try to find online reviews that confirm my choice. I won't let that trouble me and will continue using the product. I am wondering if I could get a better product for a similar price elsewhere.

What is your first reaction when choosing between two very similar products?

Select an answer:

I will take into account which product has the best price in relation to quality. I will decide based on personal preferences or a style that suits my personality better. I will read all the technical specifications thoroughly and focus on the details. I rely on the opinions of other users and reviews. I will make a quick decision so I don't have to waste time, because I want to have the decision behind me.

How do you evaluate the information provided on the product label?

Select an answer:

They are very important to me and I always read them very carefully. I will read them if it's about food or a product that will affect my health. I will only check the basic information that is directly related to my interest in the product. I don't care too much as long as the product seems to be high quality and well-known. I rely more on information from sellers or reviews than on labels.

How do you usually react when you learn something negative about a product after purchasing it?

Select an answer:

I am interested in further information and am examining whether it affects its quality. I usually try to ignore negative comments as long as the product still works. If it's serious, I will immediately contact the seller or manufacturer. I am looking for the advantages that this product still offers, even though it has some negative aspects. I am considering whether I can return the product and exchange it for another one.

I will compare their prices and decide based on the one that is the most favorable. I will read reviews and ratings from users on various websites. I will find out which brands have the best customer service and warranty. I prefer to rely on recommendations from friends who have experience with both brands. I will check which brand offers greater energy efficiency or ecological responsibility.

How often do you compare prices of different products before making a final purchase decision?

Select an answer:

I always compare prices to make sure I'm getting the best deal. Sometimes I do it for larger purchases, but I don't care about smaller items. I compare prices only when I have doubts about the price of the offered product. I tend to decide based on quality and reliability rather than price. For me, the price is usually key, but I don't have time to compare all the options.

What is your attitude towards marketing offers and discounts that appear in stores?

Select an answer:

I like to take advantage of discounts, but I always check if the price before the discount is inflated. Sometimes I get carried away, but I often realize afterward that I bought unnecessarily. Discounts are tempting for me, but mainly I look for what I truly need, not what is on offer. I am only interested in discounts that relate to products I want to buy. I am cautious with discounts because I feel that it might be a marketing trick.

When deciding to buy a new car, what do you focus on when analyzing the offers?

Based on recommendations from friends or colleagues who have similar vehicles. On environmental factors such as CO2 emissions and the ecological responsibility of the manufacturer.

When do you choose to shop online, and when do you prefer to go to a physical store?

Select an answer:

I enjoy shopping online because it is quick and convenient. I'd rather go to the store when it comes to products where quality and tactile experience are important. I make my decision based on whether I can find a better price or discount online. If it comes to technical products, I want to see them in person before I decide. It depends on how urgent my purchase is, whether I need the product immediately or if it can wait.
