Historically, consumers have tended to purchase new technologies that they consider to be a good value. Price and quality of the product have long outweighed its design or emotional appeal. Within the last decade, however, analysts have noticed that consumers more frequently purchase an item based on its aesthetic quality or emotional appeal, even if it is not the best value.
Apple computers, for example, have risen to the top of the PC market. Many researchers attribute its success to the emotional impact of the product, including its packaging and design. Even Apple cords and chargers have a sleek appearance, and the computer monitors have smooth edges that can give the home office the feel of an art studio. Such details are the keys to Apple's success. Even though Apple must charge higher prices to give its products an element of luxury, consumers are willing to pay the price.
Because consumers are paying more to purchase Apple computers, the company can use its large profits to continue adding expensive details to its products. Other computer makers might have to take a more economical approach because their profit margins are lower. However, the recent trend has shown that saving a few dollars by skimping on details may not be worth the cost.
