Deep dives

Understanding Omission Neglect

Omission neglect is a cognitive bias that affects consumer decision-making, particularly when vital information is not explicitly presented. This bias becomes particularly relevant during the purchase process, as consumers may focus on factors like price or convenience while overlooking hidden fees or negative attributes. For example, airlines like Spirit and Frontier often advertise lower initial fares; however, consumers frequently neglect the additional fees that appear later in the buying process, leading them to believe they are making a more economical choice. Marketers can leverage this bias by presenting key missing information subtly, prompting consumers to think more carefully about their choices and the implications of the fine print.
