Eye Buy: Visual Exploration Affects Product Choice
Shoppers prefer centrally-located products, but this can constrain shoppers’ choices and retailers’ sales. We show that attentional priming influences visual exploration of a product display, thereby influencing product consideration and choice. In two lab studies and one field experiment, priming attention to the periphery (vs. center) affected eye movements toward, mouse clicks on, choice of, and memory of peripherally-located products. This effect of visual exploration on peripheral product choice was accentuated among impulsive buyers.
