Customer And Consumer, Any Difference? by Lcoolbabe(op): 8:42am On Jun 09, 2009
Is there any difference btw a consumer and a customer?
Pls N'landers what is the difference?

yea there is a minor difference. although both usually overlap and mean the same thing

a customer is someone who purchases a good or service from a vendor or seller
and a consumer is someone who uses or consumes the good or service.

the customer is the buyer and the consumer is the user of the good or service.

But a customer can still consume what he/she purchase. Abi?

yes that's why I said they usually overlap. a customer (buying at the store) is usually the consumer (of the good the store sells).  cheesy

Customers are usually the big corporations, business owners, or peeps on eBay.

Consumers are usually the people that uses those items. Like oyinda said.
