THe ellusion of scarcity -
people are more likely to desire thing if they seem like scare resources . in a classic study in 1975 , researchers showed 200 people two identical cookie jares , expect one had 10 cookies and the other had just tow . surprisingly , people rated the cookies in the empty jar as more valuable . the best example for this could be companies that have launced there product online and have dates fixed for itss sale and they have a limited stock . what do think ? is this seriouly limeted ? or they can't produce more ? the trut is they are creating a elllusion of scarcity so that there product is more valuable .
loss aversion -
ever wonders why companies offer free tial ? the reason likes back to the results form 1990 study conducted by noble winning psychologist and behavioral economist daniel kahneman and his colleagues . what the study showed was that people are more likely to at when they have something to lose , as opposed t gaining the same thing . That's why companines offer free trials , so coustomeres will want to keep subscribing after the trial period is over .
reciprocity -
As psychologist robert cialdini write in his book ' influence the psychology of persuasion . if someone does something fo r you you;re more likely to want to do something for them . simply put you scracth my back , i'll scrath yours .
cialdini has found that when a restaurant sever brings the check with one mint , people will tip 3persent higer than normal , and with two mints , they'll tip a wopping 20 persent more .
so think about next time you go out to eat . :P
