Abstract

This article aimed to investigate the behaviour of bijouterie consumers, with regard to profile, consumer habits and purchase motivations. To this end, we performed a descriptive study with a quantitative approach, in which two research instruments were applied in a non-probabilistic convenience sample of 202 Brazilian women consumers of bijouterie. Using descriptive statistical analysis of simple parameterization and the Student t test comparing average scores of sub-sample 1 (classes C and D) and the sub-sample 2 (classes A and B), we found results that denote the predominance of the following aspects: (1) the bijouterie consumption is concentrated in the age group between 15 and 35 years old; (2) social classes do not interfere in bijouterie consumption habits; (3) they prefer to shop in boutiques and department stores; (4) the bijouterie purchases occur in general when prices and payment terms are satisfactory or when there is need; Nevertheless, (5) they usually go more than once a month in bijouterie shops; (6) they buy more than one kind of product by purchase; and (7) they prioritize price and durability. This study enables profitable access to the purchasing relationships structure and clarifies the specific elements that make up possible consumption patterns in the Brazilian bijouterie market.
