2. Abstract
This paper analyzes the part-list cueing effect and it explains how marketers can utilize cuing strategies to influence the recall of brands by customers. In order to support the part-list cuing effect, a survey was conducted, which proves that providing cues of a category inhibits the recall of additional items in that category. However, there is no support for the fact that when more cues are given fewer items will be recalled. Therefore, it is recommended for marketers to position their products and services next to competitors since a larger evoked set will prevent a customer from searching for alternatives. 3.
