Marketing | | English term or phrase: what is the difference between ,customer,consumer,client, | | what is the difference between,customer,consumer,client |
| | | English translation:... | Explanation:
Hi Junaid,
Sorry, I can't give you the Urdu equivalent, but here is a brief explanation:
Customer = someone to whom you are selling a product or service
Consumer = someone who buys and uses the products and services you provide, although non necessarily a customer (i.e. they maybe buy them from someone else). "Consumers" often just refers to the general public...
Client = similar to a customer, although whilst customers are paying for a service, a client can also be someone receiving a free service (e.g. from a Doctor, or legal aid).
In certain fields of work, the term "client" is used, rather than "customer", even where payment is involved. This is notably the case in the 'intellectual professions', e.g. a lawyer, or an accountant.
Hope this helps
