Overview: This article talks about providing a theoretical framework for the study of the impacts of marketing strategies on general happiness. The goal is to provide a road map to establish a link between constructs of consumer behavior and happiness. The need for the development of a theoretical framework stems from a desire to study the impact of marketing strategies on happiness and incorporate the different findings. The article also addressed the potential for high-variety strategies in marketing to create a state of overwhelming choice, showing that a focus on high-variety strategies could lead to instances of difficult and unpleasant decisions and result in consumer unhappiness.
