Studying the consumer behavior and how consumers choose among available alternatives is one of the key yet most complex tasks in marketing. The evidence in the literature suggests that the bigger number of alternatives or attributes does not always help consumers to find the most valuable product in the choice set, but raising complexity of decision-making might lead to choice deferral instead. On the other hand, the context effects, including the compromise effect, are suggested to lesser the choice difficulty and nudge the consumers to make a choice in favour of a compromise alternative. In the current paper, we focus on the interaction of choice set context and the brand as additional information about the product alternatives and their impact on the choice deferral for the two observed product categories. The choices of 1,050 respondents in an online survey experiment are analysed with the results implying variable results for the two examined product categories.
