TLDR
This paper found that consumers with no brand awareness tended to sample more brands and selected the high-quality brand on the final choice significantly more often than those with brand awareness, when quality differences exist among competing brands, consumers may pay a price for employing simple choice heuristics such as brand awareness in the interest of economizing time and effort.
Abstract
Results of a controlled experiment on the role of brand awareness in the consumer choice process showed that brand awareness was a dominant choice heuristic among awareness-group subjects. Subjects with no brand awareness tended to sample more brands and selected the high-quality brand on the final choice significantly more often than those with brand awareness. Thus, when quality differences exist among competing brands, consumers may “pay a price” for employing simple choice heuristics such as brand awareness in the interest of economizing time and effort. However, building brand awareness is a viable strategy for advertising aimed at increasing brand-choice probabilities.
