Buyer

A buyer is any person who contracts to acquire an asset in return for some form of consideration.

When someone gets characterized by their role as buyer of certain assets, the term "buyer" gets new meaning:

A "buyer" is a person who purchases finished goods, typically for resale, for a firm, government, or organization. (A person who purchases material used to make goods is sometimes called a purchasing agent.)

In product management, buyer is the entity that decides to obtain the product.

A buyer's primary responsibility is obtaining the highest quality goods at the lowest cost. This usually requires research, writing requests for bids, proposals or quotes, and evaluating information received.

    In the retail industry, a buyer is an individual who selects what items will be stocked in a store, based on his or her predictions about what will be popular with shoppers. Retail buyers usually work closely with designers and their designated sales representatives and attend trade fairs, wholesale showrooms and fashion shows to observe trends. They may work for large department stores, chain stores or smaller boutiques. For smaller independent stores, a buyer may participate in sales as well as promotion, whereas in a major fashion store there may be different levels of seniority such as trainee buyers, assistant buyers, senior buyers and buying managers, and buying directors. Decisions about what to stock can greatly affect fashion businesses.

    Background

    Buyers are supported by the garment technologist, merchandisers, and designers. The garment technologist is the technical expert that offers advice on textile engineering and controls the development of samples. The merchandiser aids the buyer in the design of the stock mix, which is a strategy supported by analysis of trends. The merchandiser also manages the budget and directs delivery of stock and stock distribution. The designer offers creative direction and the buyer chooses from product designs spawned by the designer.

    Ich Lieb' Dich

    by: Pur

    Ein gebrochener Arm, ein gebrochenes Herz
    Mitten im Höhenflug, ein Häufchen Elend
    Dann diese Augen, Dein Blick
    Bringt die Wende, bringt mir Glück
    Hast mich getröstet, hast mich gepflegt
    Bedingungslos, freier Eintritt in meine Seele
    Schlafende Geister geweckt
    Dummheit gedeckt
    Neuen Mut in mich hineingelacht
    Mich belebt mit Deiner großen Macht
    Ja, das kaum Geglaubte doch geschafft
    Ich hab zwar lang gebraucht, gezögert
    Doch endlich muß es raus
    Ich lieb' Dich, egal wie das klingt
    Ich lieb' Dich, ich weiß daß es stimmt
    Denn ich lieb' mich bei Dir, ich lieb' mich an Dir
    Ich lieb' mich in Dir fest, wenn Du mich nur läßt
    Anfangs war es ein Rausch, doch der Kater blieb aus
    Und Du, Schatz und Maus, hast mich gefangen
    Gelockt und mit dem, was mich reizt
    Nicht gegeizt
    Ich fühl' mich eifersüchtig wohl nach Dir
    Bitte tu' was sich nicht gehört mit mir
    Nimm den netten Jungen und das Tier
    Oh, nimm Dir, was ich brauch'
    Und hol' das Beste aus mir raus
    Ich lieb' Dich, egal wie das klingt
    Ich lieb' Dich, ich weiß daß es stimmt
    Denn ich lieb' mich bei Dir, ich lieb' mich an Dir
    Ich lieb' mich in Dir fest, wenn Du mich nur läßt
    Ich lieb' Dich, egal wie das klingt
    Ich lieb' Dich, ich weiß daß es stimmt
    Denn ich lieb' mich bei Dir, ich lieb' mich an Dir
    Ich lieb' mich in Dir fest, wenn Du mich nur läßt
    Wir spiel'n das Biest und die Schöne
    doch welche Rolle spiel' ich?
    Nein, daß Du zweifellos schön bist
    Nein, das bestreit ich nicht
    Doch zum Glück bist du auch ein Biest
    Ich krieg' Dich, verlaß' Dich drauf
    Ich krieg' Dich, ich geb' nicht auf
    Denn ich lieb' mich bei Dir, ich lieb' mich an Dir
    Ich lieb' mich in Dir fest
    Oh, ich lieb' Dich...
