They also turned from the passive clients into a well-informed in the market offer consumers. The increase of knowledge and consumers awareness is the result of the rapid development of technology, in particular common access to the Internet. Consumers also engage themselves in cooperation with the producers. Active attitude of the consumers to co-creation of the market offer nowadays is defined as the phenomenon of prosumption.
