Ulta’s goal in this program is to “provide a level of transparency not found in many retail loyalty programs” (Jafari). Ulta sends

There is not a reason known as to why a person contracts Parkinson’s disease. There is no mystery as to what causes it, but when it comes to a cure and why it happens, that is the real mystery that medical experts have been trying to discover for years. When it comes down to some cases, Parkinson’s disease is genetically linked to a past relative. Other than the genetically inherited cases, no one knows why Parkinson’s disease strikes the people it does.

One of the principles of the biological level of analysis is that behavior is a result of various complex processes. Human behavior is likely to change due to self-related, environmental, and social influences. Nuerons in our body can often be called the building blocks to behavior. Therefore, neurotransmission, the method in which the neurons send messages that creates a synapse, essentially creates the behavior. Different neurotransmitters hold different effects to human behavior like serotonin with the effect of arousal/sleep and dopamine with the effect of pleasure. This exhibits how neurotransmission has an effect on human behavior.

Price bundling is a prevalent marketing practice, where consumers receive a discount if they purchase two or more products together (Stremersch and Tellis 2002). The existing literature primarily focuses on the type of price bundling where the products in the bundle are fixed by the retailers. Most of the research in this domain investigates the optimal pricing strategies for the goods in the bundle and their subsequent effects on consumers’ bundle evaluations, willingness to purchase, and post-purchase satisfaction (Janiszewski and Cunha 2004; Khan and Dhar 2010). In this paper, we focus on a different type of price bundling: where retailers only fix the total number of products that should be included in the bundle, and consumers can decide which products to include in the bundle. We term it “self-selected price bundling”, which is frequently seen in the form of “buy two products, get a discount on both” or “buy two products, get a discount on one (of less or equal value)”.
