Buyer’s remorse is the feeling of regret after purchasing a product or service, often due to hasty decisions or pressure from sales tactics. To avoid it, consider purchases carefully, use shopping lists, and understand marketing tactics.

Buyer’s remorse, also called buyer’s remorse or buyer’s guilt, is the feeling of remorse for buying a product or service without really needing it. In many cases, buyer’s remorse is the product of a hasty decision, and the feeling of bad judgment tends to surface in the days and weeks after the purchase. Avoiding these guilty feelings is a primary concern for many shoppers who frequently purchase items and services. By using smart shopping techniques, you can sidestep some of the guilt associated with shopping and curb the pangs of buyer guilt.

Avoid making hasty decisions to buy products or services. One of the most common things cited when it comes to buyer’s remorse is a lack of need for a product that was bought on impulse. Television infomercials, merchandise placed near checkouts, and high-pressure sales pitches are designed with the goal of making the customer feel that the product or service is a necessity that must be obtained immediately. Salespeople use words that trigger this reaction and then further act on this human bias by using limited time or one-day sales jargon to add a greater sense of urgency to the transaction. In some cases, the seller may even convince the buyer that they are actually getting a bargain by buying the product right away, instead of waiting to make the purchase later.

This sales jargon and promotional method often leads to buyer’s remorse, as customers buy products they didn’t really want or need in the first place. In many cases, these products had some appeal to a common human interest, such as getting fitter, making more money, or being able to do some mundane task faster and easier. To avoid getting caught in this trap and experiencing buyer guilt later, consider purchases carefully to assess the true value of the product or service to you, especially for luxury items such as exercise equipment or kitchen accessories, which are often they get expensive to fill the storage closet.

One method of avoiding the pangs of conscience that follow large or unnecessary purchases is to use shopping lists. When you visit the store, know what products you want before you enter, and only get the items on your list. If you see something you think is a must-have, add it to your list for the next shopping trip. By doing so, you give yourself the opportunity to contemplate the purchase before spending money on an item and avoid buyer’s remorse. This technique also offers the advantage of offering the buyer the opportunity to compare prices in order to obtain better prices.

Buyer’s remorse can make even worthwhile purchases seem like horrible shopping experiences. With careful attention to how you shop for products and services, it’s pretty simple to avoid buyer’s remorse. Understanding how advertising and marketing works to motivate the buying frenzy is crucial to avoiding this trap.
