In marketing , the decoy effect or asymmetric dominance effect is the phenomenon whereby consumers will tend to have a specific change in preference between two options when also presented with a third option that is asymmetrically dominated. An option is asymmetrically dominated when it is inferior in all respects to one option but, in comparison to the other option, it is inferior in some respects and superior in others. In other words, in terms of specific attributes determining preferability, it is completely dominated by i.e., inferior to one option and only partially dominated by the other. When the asymmetrically dominated option is present, a higher percentage of consumers will prefer the dominating option than when the asymmetrically dominated option is absent. The asymmetrically dominated option is therefore a decoy serving to increase preference for the dominating option. The decoy effect is also an example of the violation of the independence of irrelevant alternatives axiom of decision theory . Example For example, if there is a consideration set involving MP3 players , consumers will generally see higher storage capacity number of Gigabyte GB and lower price as positive attributes while some consumers may want a player that can store more songs, other consumers will want a player that costs less.

The Boarstall Decoy can be seen on Google Earth at coord 51 49 52 N 01 05 48 W type landmark scale 5000 The intent of the decoy was to catch large numbers of waterfowl. A decoy or fake duck was used to attract birds onto a small patch of water. The pond was equipped with a long cone shaped wickerwork tunnel. A decoyman with a trained dog then herded the birds into the tunnel. Once the birds had been trapped in the tunnel, they could then be caught as required. Originally, the birds trapped here were a source of food. The advantage over simply shooting the birds was that ducks caught by this method did not have pellets or lead shot in their bodies that would have to be removed prior to consumption, allowing them to command higher prices. Today, the National Trust organise demonstrations, and any birds caught are Bird ringing ringed for ornithology ornithological study.
