Question
Discuss any four problems faced by consumers while buying products from the market.
Solution
Shopping can be a minefield for customers. Consumers encounter problems when purchasing things from the market.
- Misleading Advertisements: Misleading marketing and imprecise labels can be problematic. Making informed decisions might be challenging due to hidden fees, overstated promises, and unclear expiry dates.
- Poor Quality: Sometimes we receive less than we pay for. Consumers may feel disappointed and deceived if they receive subpar materials, shoddy craftsmanship, or fakes.
- Unfair Pricing: Unfair pricing practices might deplete our finances. Obtaining a decent deal might be challenging due to artificial price increases, false discounts, and pressure tactics.
- Limited Options: Despite the apparent abundance of options, they can be limited. Monopolies and a lack of knowledge about alternatives can hinder our capacity to find the ideal product.
