2024-10-15 15:36:06

This research recommends an approach based on visual aids—supplementing numerical information with a corresponding number of visual icons—to promote packs containing more individual units. This research extends the literature by demonstrating that visual aids can influence consumers’ perceptions of easy-to-assess quantities and generates novel managerial insights into the optimization of quantity presentation practice in online grocery shopping.
