05-20-2009: Price Dictates Believability
(2009-05-20)
(WKNO) - Research indicates that consumers believe a single-benefit product, say tooth brightening toothpaste, brightens better than the one that also fights cavities and bad breath.

To make a multi-benefit product believable, you may have to raise the price.
