Currently, the consumer decision-making is influenced by an increase of technological adoption, called multi-channel retailing, which can be defined as a retailer using a combination of integrated channels for promoting and selling products and services. Since there is a lack of knowledge about how the consumer decision-making in this context looks like, the purpose of the study is to redress the gap in current research and attain a deep insight about consumer decision-making process for Slow Moving Consumer Goods, SMCG, in the context of multi-channels. The study is positioned within three research streams: consumer decision-making, multi-channels and slow moving consumer goods. Based on that, the theoretical framework is developed in order to examine the consumer decision-making process of two groups of consumers, Millennials and Mothers of Millennials. Since the aim of the study is to gain a deep insight about the consumer decision-making within multi-channel, the study is designed as exploratory and adopts an abductive approach. The empirical material was mainly collected via two forms of interviews, at home interviews and in-store interviews. These two methods were supported by in-store observations. Our findings show that there are differences in consumer decision-making process within a multi-channel context and between Millennials and Mothers of Millennials. (Less)
