Consumer behaviour under dual quality of products : does testing reveal what consumers experience?

The main aim of this paper is to explore the relationship between the nature of products tested to reveal dual quality and customers' experiences, and for individual organisations to arrive at important guidelines for future solutions to the problem. The data used in this study were provided by the first nationwide survey conducted on a sample of 987 consumers throughout the Slovak Republic. Based on the experiences and opinions of consumers, recommendations were formulated for brand owners offering products with dual quality. Knowing the opinions of consumers will allow companies to adapt their offerings to the market.
