The segment of cherry pick has been discovered quite large, heterogeneous, and potentiallyattractive to retail management. Market maven functions as non-cost promotional tool byvoluntarily conveying to consumers who need information about product, brand, price, deficiencyand excess product, place of purchase and method of payment. It shows that the dimensions of attractivediscount 50%-70% and the consideration for the purchase of discount product affect shoppingsatisfaction. Shopping satisfaction affects the market maven.
