Example of minimizing information cost~
 Brand name effect (For male)

¡@

  • Sports wear and electrical appliances are examples of brand name effect.
  • Their brand name usually associates with constant quality. This will help to reduce the information cost of consumers, as they can save the cost of seeking prepurchase information, eg. quality.
  • Sport wear, eg. shoes, usually sells at a prevailing market price set by the producers. Their prices seldom fluctuate among the sellers. This also help to lower the information cost of consumers, as they need not to find the prices offered by different sellers.
  • Consumers will have more confidence towards the quality of some well- known brand names, eg. edidas, nite, Bansonic, Lokia, as they are usually associated with constantly high quality (in terms of durability). 
  • Consumers will then be more willing to pay for the high price of the products. This is because the cost of paying the high price can still be covered by the saving of information cost.
  • Increase in the number of sales may also be resulted.
