Stature, Snobbery and Satisfaction- Unveiling The Veblen Effect
The Veblen Effect, coined by economist Thorstein Veblen, delves into the phenomenon where consumers gravitate towards costlier goods, associating higher prices with enhanced quality and social status. Rooted in conspicuous consumption, this behavior was initially observed in the upper class but has permeated all socioeconomic levels. The price-quality heuristic, a mental shortcut, reinforces this tendency, contributing to overpricing and irrational purchases.
This article by Sharanya Tulsyan remarkably navigates these dynamics and traps that consumers fall prey to while making purchase decisions. This economic anomaly is further explored through examples of social experiments, like the FRAGO Italia perfume launch and the Chivas Regal 18 whisky experiment, which underscore the widespread influence of the Veblen Effect.

Product Updates: Is Latest Really the Greatest?
Consumers often assume that the latest product iteration is superior, but this isn’t always the case. Businesses frequently use updates, sometimes minor, to renew interest and attract buyers. This “newer is better” assumption can lead to blind consumerism, pushing unnecessary purchases and creating overconsumption trends. Despite occasional disappointment, consumers maintain interest, assuming the next iteration will surpass predecessors. While updates can improve efficiency and satisfaction, misleading updates can exploit consumers’ trust, leading to inferior purchases and unnecessary expenses.
