Pester power
Pester power is a child's influence over household purchasing decisions.
The mechanics
The decision maker and the payer are different people. That is the defining feature of this market.
Influence is item-level rather than basket-level: children move which cereal, not whether to shop. It peaks in food, media and technology and is weakest in financial and household categories.
