IKEA Effect: The Secret Behind IKEA's Success Revealed
1 may 23
IKEA, The world's largest furniture retailer, has discovered a powerful marketing technique that has contributed to their success, known as the "IKEA Effect." According to a recent article published on Medium.com, the IKEA Effect is a psychological phenomenon where people place a higher value on products they have assembled themselves. This effect has been instrumental in driving customer satisfaction and loyalty.
IKEA's unique business model, where customers are required to assemble their own furniture, has inadvertently tapped into this powerful psychological effect. "Customers take pride in their ability to assemble the products, and this sense of accomplishment increases their attachment to the items," said a spokesperson from IKEA. "By leveraging the IKEA Effect, we have been able to create a deeper connection with our customers and foster brand loyalty."
The article cites a study conducted by researchers from Harvard, Duke, and Tulane University, which found that participants valued self-assembled products significantly higher than pre-assembled or professionally assembled ones. "The act of assembling a product instills a sense of ownership and accomplishment in consumers, which in turn increases their attachment to the product and their willingness to pay more for it," said one of the researchers.
