following:
• Airport shoppers may have higher stress levels due to travel
anxieties and unfamiliarity with the airport .The customer
demographic in the airport is more affluent than at malls due to the
influx of business and international travelers.
• Due to the fast-paced environment of the airport, many shoppers
are not in the proper mindset to browse
• Product sizes and quantities are major concerns for airport
shoppers
• Airport shoppers frequently buy gifts for those at home, so the gift
