A deliberate refusal to buy a business's products in order to put pressure on it to change.
Revise: Influence of Stakeholders on BusinessCustomers can also organise a boycott, deliberately refusing to buy products to pressure a business to change its behaviour.

This can encourage the business to change how it operates, although the effect depends on how many customers participate.
