Multiple Choice

Which of the following represents a key difference between shopping and specialty products?

• A) With specialty products, consumers will go out of their way to purchase the "right" brand and will rarely accept a substitute; with shopping goods, consumers will spend shopping time searching for the brand that offers the best value.
• B) Shopping products are expensive but are bought very frequently, so it is worth the consumer's efforts to develop a close relationship with a provider of these goods. Specialty products are less expensive and bought only relatively rarely, so customers put less effort into shopping for them.
• C) Branding is not important in a specialty product, but it is very important in a shopping product.
• D) Shopping products are pure goods, while specialty products typically include elements of both goods and services. This enhances the perception that they offer a better deal than regular shopping goods.
