& Clear Response
Read the following passage and answer the question given below.
Doing extensive research before making an online purchase may be futile. An article in
the journal, Marketing Science, finds that even though consumers may spend days
looking for the right product, what they purchase tends to be remarkably close to items
they searched and found in their very first search. The researchers derive this from the
browsing and purchase history of over 2 million consumers. They used a sample of
more than 1,000 digital camera purchases with full browsing histories over a 3-month
period. They also found that while about 25 percent of consumers search and purchase
in just 1 online session, the average purchase takes much longer-around 15 days and
over 6 sessions. The vast majority of purchases happens in under a month and about 40
percent of consumers search for only 1 brand and 20 percent for only 1 model, while
the average consumer will search for about 3 brands and 6 models.
