The Customization Premium: Consumers Value Custom Bundles More Than (Better) Standard Bundles

Five studies demonstrate that people are willing to pay more for custom bundles than for non-custom bundles, even when non-custom bundles include the same plus additional items. However, people understand that additional items cost more; thus, people are willing to pay more for non-custom bundles after first evaluating custom ones.
