Choosing options for products: the effects of mixed bundling on consumers’ inferences and choices

Abstract: For product categories such as cars, computers, vacation packages, and new homes, consumers usually choose not only the product itself, but also various options for the product. Sellers decide how to present these options to consumers, and they often sell options both individually and in bundles (mixed bundling). In this research, we examine how mixed bundling affects consumers' inferences about the options and choices among the options. We demonstrate that as long as the seller's motives for bundling options … Show more

“…In some cases, respondents are first shown individual products and then the same products in a package to determine how packaging can change demand. Examples include Hamilton and Koukova [10] who analyse students' perceptions of the relative importance of bundle elements; Fojcic and Proff [11] and Sheng and Pan [12] who both test how bundling could increase product diffusions of a new product; and Janiszewski and Cunha [13] who focus on price discounts in the evaluation of bundles. However, it is not necessary to test respondents' preferences for individual product elements.…”

“…Mixed-bundling has the highest profitability among the other two strategies (Chen & Riordan, 2013;Venkatesh & Kamakura, 2003;Yang & Ng, 2010). Furthermore, research participants preferred mixedbundling over pure-bundling (Hamilton & Koukova, 2008;Venkatesh & Mahajan, 1993).…”

“…Most of the previous research on bundling discusses tangible products, services, and information (Adilov, 2011;Arora, 2011;Chang & Yang, 2012;Chung et al, 2013;Hamilton & Koukova, 2008;Koukova et al, 2008;Sheng & Pan, 2009). Although some bundles include experience products, there is no particular term for this specific kind of bundling.…”

“…One way for providers to satisfy this demand is to offer integrated value bundles-consisting of services and physical goods (Hamilton and Koukova 2008)-as value propositions to their customers. Value bundles can be seen as an intermediate between pure physical products and pure intangible services.…”
