Consumer products, sometimes also known as finished products, are products bought by consumers for personal consumption. For instance, toothpaste is considered a consumer good because it is purchased and used directly by the consumer daily. Products that fall under this category are usually sold in bulk and are used by a wide variety of customers. Examples of products within this category include foods, cosmetics, electrical appliances, clothing, and other consumer goods. These goods can be made from any number of different raw materials and can range from everyday items to art objects. There are three broad types of consumer products that are often considered unsolicited. The first is the most commonly recognized type which is convenience products.
