Changes occurring in the contemporary world make the knowledge of the rules governing consumer market behaviour essential and indispensable for developing a company’s strategy of activity. Increasingly growing competition compels companies to take various measures with a view to gaining and keeping customers satisfied and in that way guarantee the company’s long-term success. Customer satisfaction is a key condition for succeeding on highly competitive markets. The key factors impacting purchase decisions constitute an indicator of achieving market strategic purposes. The process of purchasing high-proof alcoholic beverages is similar to purchasing other consumer products; however, the major problem is the impeded communication between the brand owner and the environment.

The objective of the present paper is to show the consumers’ key decision-making elements in purchasing high-proof alcoholic beverages seen from the explorative angle.
