As known, dressing is one of the man's basic needs. Dressing particularly affects the individual's perception of their appearance. In addition, clothing meets the psychological and sociological needs of people (Ersoy, Arpacı and Demirci, 2004). People use clothing to identify themselves with a social class, project a positive image and as a means to improve their overall appearance (Alexander, Jo Connell and Presley, 2005). Clothing industry has a great contribution to the Turkish economy. The apparel production was quite widespread and advanced in the 16th century in Turkey, while it had developed more when we come to the 20th century (Turkish Clothing Industry, 2011). The Turkish apparel retail industry had total revenues of $13.5bn in 2014, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.6% between 2010 and 2014 (Apparel Retail in Turkey, 2015). The apparel retail industry consists of the sale of all menswear, womenswear and childrenswear. Especially, female consumers are an important target market for companies because of the increased spending power. Understanding the orientations that drive female consumers’ interest in shopping will provide apparel marketers with information that can be used to develop targeted promotional campaigns in order to foster increased consumption (Kim, Lee and Park, 2014). The current study is intended to extend our understanding of consumers by identifying orientations and to ascertain whether different orientations influence consumption across different ages and income levels. It was intended that the results would serve as a basis for further studies. This study will benefit the apparel industry and the field of apparel marketing by contributing to the development of a knowledge base regarding the shopping orientations.

Kadınlar artan satın alma güçleri sebebiyle şirketler için önemli bir hedef kitle olmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı kadın tüketicilerin alışveriş oryantasyonlarını yaş ve gelir durumlarına göre karşılaştırmaktır. Kalite/marka, fiyat, rekreasyon, kolaylık, sosyal ve moda oryantasyonları çalışmada incelenmiştir. Adana ilinde yaşayan 540 kadın tüketici çalışmaya katılmıştır. Katılımcılar Yu and Zhou (2009) ve Cho and Workman (2013) çalışmalarında yer alan ölçeklerden geliştirilmiş ölçeği cevaplandırmıştır. Ayrıca, demografik sorular ve alışveriş sıklıkları ve tüketimleri ile ilgili sorular katılımcılara sorulmuştur. Yaş ve gelir grupları arasında alışveriş oryantasyonları bakımından anlamlı farklılıklar olduğu görülmektedir. Sonuç ve çıkarımlar giysi pazarlamacıları tarafından farklı alışveriş oryantasyonları arasındaki farklılığın nasıl yorumlanabileceğine ışık tutmaktadır.
