Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Apparel stores are an example of comparison activities because customers tend to compare the quality, style, and price of items before making a purchase decision. In contrast, convenience activities like supermarkets, coffee boutiques, and fast-food restaurants offer products and services that are more routine and do not require as much comparison shopping.
