Description

Compulsive buying is a shopping addiction with worldwide prevalence that causes significant emotional, financial, and social problems for those afflicted by it. While most research has focused on the problem and its consequences, this book examines the intersections between consumer traits, self-regulation, ethical considerations, and compulsive buying. Compulsive Buying: Consumer Traits, Self-Regulation, and Marketing Ethics presents a model on consumer trait predictors of compulsive buying as well as guidelines for consumers, government policymakers, and companies.

Reviews

The timing of this book is very important, having been released on the heels of the global pandemic and lockdown where much of normal social behavior and economic activities came to a pause and potential reset. Many people have had time to reconsider many what they value most and how they should interact with the material world. This book touches on all the important components of the psychosocial and economic underpinnings of compulsive buying behavior and offers an insightful and important analysis of ethical considerations in marketing to compulsive buyers. These ethical guidelines will offer invaluable insight to persons who have responsibility for the regulation or subsidization of marketing. This text also has significant implications and application to the marketing of ideas, especially those intended to impact prosocial behaviors that aim to enhance the common good. This book will make a significant difference in helping people to rethink ways of shaping and changing a variety of behaviors, not just buying behaviors.

-- Leahcim Semaj, Above or Beyond, psychologist and management consultant

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
