Cart-pushing customers
Shoppers are people engaged in shopping—browsing stores or websites with intent to buy.
The term covers casual browsers and serious buyers alike: The mall was packed with holiday shoppers.
Retail businesses track shopper behavior to optimize store layouts and marketing.
A personal shopper selects items on behalf of clients.
