French term

la shopperin

French to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general) business model
I'm not sure whether to post this question under French or German - it's from a Swiss text and although it's written in French there are occasional German words, as this seems to be.

It's from a company business model under the heading of "customer segmentation". I understand the general idea but don't know if there's an English term that conveys all the connotations I seem to read into it here.

"Segmentation de la clientèle : Age - sexe (homme-femme) - Motif d'achat (spontané/planifié) - **la shopperin** - l'exigeante - le souverain - l'individualiste - l'économe - nouveau segment : la silver generation"

the compulsive shopper, habitual shopper

I've never heard this word before but it may mean those people with nothing better to do than go clothes shopping almost every day, just for the thrill of bringing a whole lot of stuff back home, I suppose!

agree Philippa Smith : I'd maybe say "shopper type", but seems like you have the right idea!

the woman shopper

Isn't this just the English word 'shopper' with a German female ending?
