Summary/Abstract: The paper makes an assumption that consumers constitute the material source of knowledge for creating the innovation strategy of domestic commercial enterprises. Hence it presents the results of empirical research conducted by the author for the purposes of showing the potential lying in the knowledge about behaviors of consumers, their preferences and expectations, which reflect the opinions of researched consumers on the FMCG market (Fast Moving Consumer Goods).
