Abstract

This research aims to identify the determinants that may encourage the salesperson to direct consumers towards energy efficient equipment, particularly by taking into account the energy label. On the basis of an ethnographic study, conducted online and in stores with general and specialized retailers, our findings highlight the determinants such as consumer demand, the strategy of the retailer, the type of products and the level of knowledge of the salesperson, in the ability of the salesperson to guide the consumer towards energy efficient products. The study of online stores revealed the absence of sales support systems that could encourage the purchase of an efficient product.
