Identifying the Picky Shopper
We define pickiness and develop a scale to measure this trait. We find that pickier shoppers form smaller consideration set, exhibit less product-switching behavior, and are more likely to spread negative word of mouth. In addition, pickier shoppers care about a wider range of horizontal attributes than maximizers.
