Do consumers do more research before making an expensive purchase than before making a cheaper purchase?

It stands to reason that a consumer will spend more time researching something that involves a greater investment as opposed to something that will cost them less. I am looking for some research that backs this up.





Please provide a link to a Source with your answer. Thanks!

Distribution of funds In other words, what priority do people put on how they pay bills as opposed to making arbitrary purchases and incurring new debt.
Reply:Compulsive shopping? Or are you talking about all consumers in general? If so, how about buy now, pay later?

My research study is what effect does program type have on consumer's ability to recognize advertised products

This was a Survey study and the above statement is my research question. If I have 6 nominal variables (program type, sex of respondent, frequency of viewing, program times, individual programs, %26amp; number of persons in the room), and one dependent variable (consumer's ability to recognize advertised and non-advertised products), how do I change my variables so they can be measured and what type of test or analysis would I use?

Chances of getting a market research employment in New Zealand?

I plan to migrate to New Zealand. However, i fear that i might not find any work there. I am a consumer market research executive and have been in this field for more than 5 years. what are my chances?

Chances of getting a market research employment in New Zealand?
I checked www.greenbook.org but didn't see any market research companies listed for NZ. Beyond that, maybe look for an adjacent market (advertising, marketing, etc). Regardless...good luck on the move!
Reply:Never do that.....go somewhere else...I have done that and I have lost so many of my good years....their people have nothing to offer except expoit you.....what they want from migrants is their money...they will not offer you jobs easily unless they suck as much as they can....I tell you some of their tricks...at first when you want to go in they do whatever they can to get you in...well of course not you your money and your energy and motivation.....they look nice and friendly but this is just the surface....to encourage you to do what they want they tell you a lot of good things about themselves.....lots and lots...and then instaead they ask where you are from and how you poor thing were in your home country and how much they are kind and how lucky you are to be in New Zealand....their best pray would be rich and hardworker migrants...those ones who just spend and spend and spend but if you ask for jobs no that belongs to main stream new zealanders....they say Oh...we should train our own NZ tarined doctors and teachers so that we are not dependent on foreigners....if you want to stay here you should work hard for a few years for free of course...till we suck enough....when you get sick just do not go to their GPs...bunch of crappy doctors.....do not go their hospitals (except Auckland where their best specialists are) the rest of them will do harm not because they might have enough knowledge just because they just care about their own NZ people..... when I went there and just wanted to buy basic stuff for life everything is expensive...just if they see you are not a kiwi they will rip you off.....the degree of abuse...the quality of life for a non-kiwi is out of tolerance....if you go to a travel center you will see some of the most experienced rouges of the world....just try to book your flights on line....they will say oh we do not have a seat all of those seats are booked and when they see your frustration they will charge you twice the amount plus their own greedy part.....the smaller the city you are the worse....just do not repeat the mistake I have made...go to australia or Canada....and even if you go to NZ after a year or two you will deeply understant what I told you.....Good Luck anyway

I"m interested in good unbiased research on 50 to 80cc motorized scooters. Honda and Aprilia mainly.?

I"d like to purchase a scooter real soon. I'm in Houston TX. WHere is a good online consumer research site containing reviews by consumers?

I"m interested in good unbiased research on 50 to 80cc motorized scooters. Honda and Aprilia mainly.?
I recommend Honda or another of the big 4 Japanese brands. Also consider at least a 125cc or better yet, 250. These are automatic transmission and very easy to operate. You do however need to keep up with traffic. 50cc ought to be against the law except as a kids toy in the dirt. 80cc isn't much better. I rode a off brand 125cc and found it fun but lame. Top speed about 38mph. You are a victim waiting to happen. Be sure to by a helmet. Also u need a real helmet not some hardware store knock off.
Reply:If you can't find any good websites check out the scooter magazines and the magazine websites. Consumers are often biased but once you have a few models in mind Google the make and model to find forum chat about them. You might also find some good scootering websites this way.This will give you an idea of common faults/problems and recommendations.
Reply:Well I would not recommend either one of them but I would recommend the company that use to make the small motors for Honda, Look a Kymco they are the largest scooter manufacture in the world and they make a excellent 50 gets about 100+mpg and sells for maybe 2k out the door. They are not one of the cheap imports but the real deal.
