    A customer buys goods or services from another person. A client seeks the professional knowledge and advice of a specialist, like a lawyer, accountant, real estate broker, etc.

    You sell to a customer but you serve a client.

    The relationship is usually short-term with a customer (like when you go the supermarket or the hardware store). With a client, you develop an ongoing business relationship.

    client:
    someone who pays for the service of a professional person such as a doctor or lawer.
    (hospital/law office/...)

    customer:
    a person or company that buys goods or service.
    (supermarket/shopping centre/boutique/...)
