Consumer Reliance On Intrinsic And Extrinsic Cues In Product Evaluations: A Conjoint Approach

Abstract: Based on conjoint analysis technique, this study investigates how consumers utilize intrinsic and extrinsic cues in determining the quality of a product. The focus is on the effects of consumer individual difference variables on the relative importance of such product cues. The results show that product familiarity, enduring involvement, and price-reliance schema have a significant influence on consumer utilization of extrinsic cues. The implication of the results are discussed.

“…Those 'cues' can be intrinsic or extrinsic (Olson and Jacoby, 1972). The intrinsic product cues are product features that are part of the product itself while extrinsic cues are not part of the product but are related to the product (Idoko et al, 2013) such as brand, COO and price (Lee and Lou, 1995), store name (Teas and Agarwal, 2000) promotion, presentation (Acebron and Dopico, 2000) warranty, manufacturer reputation , packaging (Mueller and Szolnoki, 2010) and advertising (Milgrom and Roberts, 1986).…”

“…The literature shows a greater inclination towards extrinsic attributes, since there is empirical evidence showing that such extrinsic aspects are most often used by consumers in their purchasing decisions (Richardson et al, 1994;Lee & Lou, 1996), especially because they have greater knowledge and greater confidence in them (Jamal & Goode, 2001). According to Rodríguez (2003), the stronger preference for extrinsic attributes is due to three main reasons: (1) given that the intrinsic attributes are internal characteristics of the product, it is difficult to perceive them if consumers do not use or consume the product; (2) consumers make a uniform evaluation of internal characteristics of products; so it is not easy to clearly perceive differences between products according to such internal aspects and, hence, the information arising from these attributes is not useful, and (3) given that consumers are more prone to simplify the information management processes, the sumer views the product as a set of attributes, so the product will be perceived in terms of how it conforms with a series of attributes that are relevant to the product class; (2) the relevant attributes may have different levels of importance to the consumer, and (3) the consumer is likely to develop opinions about how each brand rates on each attribute.…”
