The Impact of Dynamic Presentation Format on Consumer Preferences for Hedonic Products and Services highlights how the Internet and visual technologies have given manufacturers, retailers, and service providers opportunities to present their products and services using a range of presentation forms. These include dynamic presentation formats such as videos or static presentation formats such as still images.

The authors’ research shows that a dynamic (relative to static) presentation format enhances the preference for the hedonic (vs. utilitarian) option by more than 79%. This means that online retailers can substantially increase their sales and profits by systematically incorporating more dynamic presentation formats to convey their product/service offers.
The article was published online October 2015 and will appear in the November print version.
