What is The Paradox of Choice?



Picture this:

You walk into a shop, eager to make a purchase. The shelves are filled with an abundance of options, each promising quality and value. Yet, as you stand there, faced with this array of choices, a peculiar feeling creeps in. It's not the delightful anticipation of a shopping spree but rather a sense of bewilderment.

You're experiencing what psychologists refer to as the paradox of choice – the idea that having too many options can lead to decision paralysis and decreased satisfaction.


6 Things to Try –


1. Curate Product Selections:


- Focus on quality over quantity by carefully selecting products that align with your target customer's needs and preferences.

3. Segment and Categorize Products:
