The word consumer is the person who consumes , that means to use as food, fuel or the like examples:Hello dear Teachers,
Please, explain the difference among 'consumer', 'customer', 'subscriber', and 'user'
Regards
Ok.But in our country, sometmes, 'customer' and 'consumer' are used which is confusing. e.g.The word consumer is the person who consumes , that means to use as food, fuel or the like examples:
People consume large quantities of meat every year.
The consumer should read the labels on the food products carefully.
Elephants consume about 250 k.g. of grass a day. They are great consumers of grass.
A small car consumes less fuel than a large one.
Our products will make the consumers happy.
customer on the other hand means the person who regularly deals with a certain shop. = buyer
Our shop has lots of very rich customers.
We lost some customers because our prices are high.
User is a peson who uses anything. You use yahoo or google, but you subscribe t a magazine, newspaper, etc. and usually pay money for it.
Road users should obey the traffic rules.
Subscribers to our newspaper will get ten free issues.
I hope I was of some help.
Thanks
