Which Side Is Right? Visual Price Dominance Under Low and High Engagement

Building on research in visual field effects and brain hemispherics, the authors predict that under low engagement, prices positioned to left will be visually dominant, whereas under high engagement, prices positioned to the right will dominate. Four studies support this assertion. Study 1 demonstrates that in a retail field setting, customers purchase more of a product when the price is not dominant. Study 2 uses a response time study to demonstrate visual dominance, and Study 3 offers evidence of activation associated with visual dominance in a neuroimaging study. Finally, Study 4 examines the impact of visual price dominance on value perceptions.
