Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine consumers’ behavior in terms of why they make purchases at the marketplace, as well as to indicate what kind of items they purchase and what factors have an important influence on their purchasing decisions. The paper contains the results of the survey carried out among 208 respondents in Lubuskie Province, as well as the attempt to propose actions for entrepreneurs, which will ensure that they will be able to meet the expectations and requirements of their present and future customers. Knowledge of the rules by which the consumers are guided in their purchasing choices is an important part of the activities undertaken in the marketing policy of entities operating in the market.
