Brand Choice

Abstract

  • • Customers have very limited attention spans; • They devote little time or effort to processing information about brands or stores; and • They have access, desire, or ability to retrieve easily only a few bits of information about brands or stores included in their long-term memories (see Olshavsky and Granbois, 1979; Kassarjian, 1981).
