โ€œThe IKEA Effect: Why We Value What We Buildโ€ The IKEA Effect is a psychological phenomenon where people place higher value on products they partially create themselves. The name comes from IKEA, where customers assemble furniture โ€” and end up loving it more because they built it. This effect is widely used beyond furniture. Brands like Build-a-Bear, Nike By You, and custom PC brands let users personalize or assemble products. It creates a sense of ownership, emotional attachment, and higher perceived value โ€” even if the final product is simple. By involving customers in the creation process, businesses not only increase satisfaction but also reduce price sensitivity and build stronger loyalty.
