When We See the Forest: Value-For-Money Contrast in Cross Category Referencing
This research explores whether thinking about something from a different and unrelated product category, i.e. cross category referencing (CCR), can influence consumers’ decision-making. A mediation analysis shows that the value for money contrast between the focal product and the cross category referent mediated the observed CCR impact on choice.
