Improving Customer Satisfaction Online Through Valence Matching
Consumers often make unenjoyable decisions, like settling for low-quality products from budget constraints or selecting a retirement plan to pay into.

E-commerce’s flexible and dynamic environment is especially conducive to implementing this effect.
