How You Found It Matters: Autonomous Discovery of Hospitality Venues Fosters Customer Bonds
Does the way customers discover hospitality venues (e.g., cafés, bars) affect how strongly they later bond with these venues? We show that customers who find a venue autonomously (i.e. entirely on their own) bond with it more strongly than customers finding it heteronomously (i.e. guided by some information or recommendation).
