ASSUMPTION: Customers are able to make a more informed decision
when products are filtered.
The Paradox of Choice
None
None
When people have no choice, life is almost unbearable. As
the number of available choices increases, as it has in our consumer culture, the autonomy, control, and liberation this variety brings are powerful and positive…
… But as the number of choices keeps growing, negative
aspects of having a multitude of options begin to appear. As the number of choices grows further, the negatives escalate until we become overloaded...
… At this point, choice no longer liberates, but debilitates.
It might even be said to tyrannize.
