Reserved For You: Implied Selectivity As a New Tool of Choice Architecture

Here, we introduce a new tool of choice architecture—the implied exclusivity effect—whereby a simple framing manipulation can considerably increase take-up of some opportunity. Framing a benefit as being “reserved” for someone creates a feeling of exclusive access to a coveted opportunity, thereby increasing subjective valuation and take-up of the benefit.
