Conclusion:
To summarise this essay I would say that the grey market is by the year 2001 to become the largest source of marketing in Europe . Therefore marketers have begun in recent years to acknowledge that their main source of income will come at the hands of the „greysŽ. With the larger disposable income that they have they are the without doubt an important area of study and research. With the likes of Solomon, Bamossy & Askegaard, Wolfe and Moschis all acknowledging that their potential will become unparalleled in the not too distant future, further segmentation has already begun on dissecting the market, which was once disregarded as the least important, in order to capitalise on the „greysŽ affluence and desire to effectively, and without condescending stereotypes, distribute their wealth.

Conclusion: The fundamental theory behind the importance placed on external influences by marketers has been clearly explained by Kotler, "Thus we see that understanding the consumer buying process is the foundation of successful marketing . . . By understanding the various participants in the buying process and the major influences on their buying behaviour, the marketer can develop an efficient marketing program to support an attractive off to the target market," (Kotler, 1972, p.260). This is an unrealistic notion for marketers to have as it is near impossible for academics, let alone marketers, to gain the knowledge needed from consumers for successful marketing when so many variables are involved and are forever changing the consumer and their behaviour in the market place.
