Defining and Differentiating Marketplace Tranquility
How do consumers understand general tranquility (GT), and compare it to the outcomes that “tranquil” market offerings promise? We define and dissect “marketplace tranquility” (MT), its sources, and consumers’ motivations for pursuing it. We find consumers regard GT as abstract and unattainable, but MT as resonant, accessible, practical, and goal-oriented.
