Marketers are constantly seeking to create engagement with their buyers & drive actions that help buyers to move rapidly through their customer lifecycle.
The below points illustrates the strong intersection between modern marketing and psychology & what Marketers can achieve by using consumer psychology in marketing:
- Persuasion Architecture: It is simply designing the website, or in this case, the email and the customer journey in such a way as to convince and persuade a buyer to convert.
- Emotion-Driven Behaviour: Once you have persuaded potential buyers emotionally (albeit unconsciously), they will rationalize that choice on their own.
- Social proof: People are more likely to find actions when others are doing them (Crowdsourcing Products).
- Scarcity & loss aversion: Buyers tend to act quickly when they are told that a product or special offer won’t last long.
- Reciprocity: The human nature dislikes being indebted to others, which is the basis of the Reciprocity Principle.
- Commitment & Consistency: Human beings have a deep need to be seen as reliable and true to our word.
- Anchoring: Which describes the common human tendency to rely too heavily on the first piece of information you receive (the “anchor”) when making decisions.
