repeat purchasing

Definition:
Buying the same product or service from the same source of supply over a period of time. A high level of repeat purchasing is a characteristic of many industrial markets, where patterns of inertia in buyer-seller relationships may develop. These established relationships may pose considerable problems for companies which are not already in the market but seeking to enter
