The Structure of a Product, Retail Environment, and Brand Logo Can Affect Judgments of Value

We demonstrate that visual structure (symmetry, balance) increases perceived utilitarian value when a product/brand fulfills utilitarian goals. However, when a product/brand fulfills hedonic goals, lack of structure increases hedonic value. Value, in turn, influence an array of marketing-relevant outcomes. This research has theoretical implications and actionable insights for marketing managers.
