C'est la personne qui décide quel est le produit qui pourra donner satisfaction à l'utilisateur et qui lui conseille ou lui impose une marque ou un article déterminé. Quelquefois le centre de décision d'achat est situé au niveau du consommateur, mais il peut se situer à un autre niveau, celui du prescripteur : sa femme, ses enfants, les médecins, les architectes, etc. Si les centres de décision d'achat sont situés à un autre niveau que celui du consommateur, une publicité dirigée vers lui serait partiellement inefficace. 1, record 2, French, - centre%20de%20d%C3%A9cision%20d%27achat
