Saving It (And Us) For Later? Consuming and Saving Products That Reflect Our Selves
Consumers like products that reflect their selves, but research examining how they consume these products is lacking. Are products that symbolize one’s self protected or are they consumed quickly after purchase? This research demonstrates that greater preference doesn’t translate into consumption; consumers prefer to save, rather than use, self-symbolic products.
