the choice factory: behavioural science & effective advertising
We welcomed Richard Shotton, author of the acclaimed book The Choice Factory, for a fascinating presentation on the behavioural science insights that can be used to improve advertising effectiveness.
In this presentation Richard outlines 5 key learnings for marketers, including
- How a life change – including the current global health crisis – puts buying behaviour in flux, presenting an opportunity for marketers.
- Why social proof (the finding that consumers tend to copy others) becomes more pronounced during a crisis
- How to attract attention & the need to be distinctive
- Tactics for reducing price sensitivity
- Why, if you want to change behaviour, making it easy is as important as changing motivation levels
