With so much of shopping moving online, impulse buys are one of the proven
tactics brick-and-mortar retailers have firmly in their corner. In fact, 79% of
impulse buys still take place in physical retail stores. That’s why smart retailers
make finding a way to capitalize on impulse purchases a priority in their
stores. Someone may be experiencing certain emotions, such as happiness or
stress, and then be motivated by marketing materials in a store to buy a product
or service that caters to their current emotion. People do not often consider the
consequences of their near-future purchases before making an impulse buy, and
are typically prompted by an impulse to act. This unplanned decision to
purchase something is what is referred to as an impulse buy, and those who tend
to make these types of decisions are referred to as “impulse buyers. “
