Consumer Responses to Simultaneous Changes in Price and Quantity: Do Direction and Magnitude Matter?
This research studies how consumers perceive retail price and package quantity changes when both change in the same direction simultaneously. Three experimental studies provide convergent evidence that regardless of the magnitude of changes, consumers prefer simultaneous decreases over simultaneous increases. This effect is moderated by the presence of unit prices.
