- Do you ever wonder what drives your customer to buy from you? Or what drives them to buy from your competitors instead? Or how about your own purchase decisions? Are you what you buy? Welcome to the world of consumer behavior. I'm Michael Solomon, and I've been studying the topic of consumer behavior for many years.
