The Negative Effect of Sharing Hedonic Customization Experiences on Satisfaction
Companies frequently allow consumers to customize products. We explore the effect of sharing one’s customization experience (with a friend) on satisfaction. Notably, the effect depends on the type of customization. Whereas sharing one’s experience (versus not sharing) decreases satisfaction for hedonic customization, it has no impact for utilitarian customization.
