Air cargo, commonly known as air freight, is collected by firms from shippers and delivered to customers. Aircraft were first used for carrying mail as cargo in 1911. Eventually manufacturers started designing aircraft for other types of freight as well.
Economics and marketing. The consumer is the one who pays something to consume goods and services produced. As such, consumers play a vital role in the economic system of a nation. Without consumer demand, producers would lack one of the key motivations to produce: to sell to consumers. The consumer also forms part of the chain of distribution.
A consumer is anyone who acquires goods or services for direct use or ownership. All consumers should learn how to do simple things like manage a credit score, read the fine print on a gift card and understand the importance of choosing a secure email password. It's also important to know when the law is on your side and when to contact an attorney to help you enforce your rights. Organizations and agencies like the Federal Trade Commission and Better Business Bureau promote and sometimes enforce consumer protection laws.
