14. Research on consumer preferences
• Lots of research typically asks simple questions
– “do you like ABC?”
• …though many options are trade-offs:
– “ABC is good for situation 123 but in other situations I
prefer CDE”
• In the CATeLOG project we therefore developed a
consumer survey that focuses on how consumers
make these trade-offs
1/21/15
15. Key findings
• Stock-out: Consumers go to competitors
• 80% of respondents think cut-off times to 21:00 hours
is sufficient
• Home delivery instead of third-party delivery lockers is
preferred in the Dutch market
• Delivery charge is the most important factor
influencing customer choice of delivery options
