  31. 0:50that you're gonna need to know about
  32. 0:52until then let's get started
  33. 0:56okay so what is this neuromarketing is
  34. 0:58the use of psychology in our marketing
  35. 1:00decision making processes
  36. 1:02the fact is that as i mentioned we use
  37. 1:04our subconscious mind
  38. 1:05far more than we use our conscious mind
  39. 1:07and it affects every single decision
  40. 1:09that we make so even the small little
  41. 1:11things are influencing the decision
  42. 1:13what that means is that when you're
  43. 1:14thinking about your product or your
  44. 1:15service
  45. 1:16it's not just about what you say it does
  46. 1:18it's not just about the copy on the page
  47. 1:20it's about how people feel about it
  48. 1:21based on what you've said
  49. 1:23based on what you've shown based on past
  50. 1:25experiences that they've had with you
  51. 1:27or your product or your service so you
  52. 1:29have to take all of these things into
  53. 1:30account
  54. 1:31and think about every little detail to
  55. 1:34be able to make those changes and
  56. 1:35increase those sales as much as possible
  57. 1:37so some good examples about how
  58. 1:38psychology and subconscious mind affects
  59. 1:40our decision making
  60. 1:41the first one is mcdonald's disney and
  61. 1:44netflix all three of these go together
  62. 1:45because they're some of the earliest
  63. 1:47brands
  64. 1:47that are recognized by children the
  65. 1:49youngest children recognize mcdonald's
  66. 1:51disney and netflix
  67. 1:52because they have very positive
  68. 1:54reactions to them at a very young age
  69. 1:56as a result their interactions with
  70. 1:59those brands
  71. 1:59as they grow up tend to be more positive
  72. 2:02and nostalgic
  73. 2:03and so it increases the likelihood that
  74. 2:04they're going to want to continue to go
  75. 2:05back
  76. 2:06to netflix and disney and mcdonald's
  77. 2:08among others
  78. 2:09so coca-cola might be a great example of
  79. 2:12a failure in marketing psychology
  80. 2:14so in the 80s they issued new coke
  81. 2:16before they put new coke out on the
  82. 2:18market
  83. 2:18they tested with 200 000 different
  84. 2:20people in focus groups and blind
  85. 2:22taste tests and they found that people
  86. 2:24preferred the taste of new coke versus
  87. 2:25old coke
  88. 2:26and they preferred the taste of new coke
  89. 2:28against pepsi so they were absolutely
  90. 2:30sure that new coke
  91. 2:31was gonna be the next best thing it was
  92. 2:34gonna be a huge sales boom on the market
  93. 2:36but when they put out new coke they also
  94. 2:38took away classic coke
  95. 2:40and so what happened people flipped out
  96. 2:43there were protests on the street
  97. 2:45people were angry sales were tanking
  98. 2:47they ended up pulling new coke out of
  99. 2:49the market
  100. 2:50and putting back in old coke or now
  101. 2:52classic coke
  102. 2:53so what did they miss why was that such
  103. 2:55a colossal failure
  104. 2:56the reason that failed so poorly is
  105. 2:58because they missed the emotion
  106. 3:00they spent the entirety of their
  107. 3:02existence from the 1800s
  108. 3:04building on emotion you want to feel
  109. 3:06good have a coke you want to relax have
  110. 3:07a coke
  111. 3:08you want to feel healthy again have a
  112. 3:10coke yes that's a real
  113. 3:11ad campaign so they missed the emotion
  114. 3:14which means that
  115. 3:15when they took away classic coke they
  116. 3:17took away
  117. 3:19the heart of the company they ripped the
  118. 3:21heart out of people people were angry
  119. 3:23because it was like a breakup so they
  120. 3:24had to put classic coke back in
  121. 3:26or they were just going to destroy their
  122. 3:27entire business last big example
  123. 3:30is facebook facebook is designed to keep
  124. 3:32you on the site as long as possible
  125. 3:34because the longer you're on the site
  126. 3:36the more ads you see and the more money
  127. 3:38they make as a result
  128. 3:39and they do this in hundreds and
  129. 3:41thousands of different ways but here are
  130. 3:43just a few
  131. 3:44small examples so the first one would be
  132. 3:46infinite scroll
  133. 3:47if you've ever tried to scroll your news
  134. 3:49feed all the way to the bottom
  135. 3:50you can't get there it's always going to
  136. 3:52load something more and there's always
  137. 3:54going to be something else to see
  138. 3:55so it makes you hungry to keep seeing
  139. 3:57what's going on and keep moving through
  140. 3:59that feed it's the same on instagram
  141. 4:01it's the same on any other platform also
  142. 4:03the high of getting likes you get a like
  143. 4:06that makes you feel good you get a lot
  144. 4:07of likes that makes you feel really good
  145. 4:09so you want to
  146. 4:09keep posting keep building that
  147. 4:11interaction for yourself so you get more
  148. 4:13people to come back into your site
  149. 4:15and get that vanity metric it doesn't
  150. 4:17actually matter to make you any money
  151. 4:18but at least you can have some vanity
  152. 4:20associated with it and it's really
  153. 4:21strong
  154. 4:22and then algorithmically curated content
  155. 4:25this is huge so
  156. 4:26they're looking at exactly what it is
  157. 4:28that you're showing interest in
  158. 4:30how long you're looking at an image how
  159. 4:32long you're reading a post
  160. 4:33if you're just scrolling past something
  161. 4:35they're taking all of that time
  162. 4:37and interest the likes and the comments
  163. 4:39into account
  164. 4:40to figure out what it is that you like
  165. 4:42and you don't like and showing you more
  166. 4:43of what you like
  167. 4:44so that you're going to want to come
  168. 4:45back and stay on as long as possible
  169. 4:48all right so let's talk about some
  170. 4:49simple ways that you can do this the
  171. 4:50first one i want to talk about is decoy
  172. 4:52pricing
  173. 4:52so if you've ever seen pricing like this
  174. 4:54where you've got a small for three
  175. 4:55dollars
  176. 4:56a medium for 650 and a large for seven
  177. 4:58dollars you might think it's kind of
  178. 5:00weird
  179. 5:00that there's a 3.50 difference between
  180. 5:03the small and the medium
  181. 5:04and only a 50 cent difference between
  182. 5:06the medium and the large
  183. 5:07but that's on purpose the medium is
  184. 5:09called a decoy and it's there to make
  185. 5:11you buy the large because you're going
  186. 5:12to go
  187. 5:13i can get a medium for 650 but it's only
  188. 5:1550 cents more to get that large
  189. 5:17and you think you've only spent 50 cents
  190. 5:19more but what you've actually done is
  191. 5:20spent
  192. 5:20four dollars more than the small so it's
  193. 5:23an easy
  194. 5:24way to get you to upgrade a little bit
  195. 5:26more
  196. 5:27and they spend a lot more while you
  197. 5:29don't have to do as much work to get
  198. 5:30them there
  199. 5:31this is also why you might see on a lot
  200. 5:32of websites that there are three pricing
  201. 5:34options
  202. 5:35look at those pricing options really
  203. 5:36closely you'll probably notice that
  204. 5:38there's a bigger disparity between the
  205. 5:39smallest and the medium
  206. 5:41versus the medium and the large color is
  207. 5:43a great way of affecting this as well
  208. 5:45colors cause emotional reactions they
  209. 5:47might be small but they are there
  210. 5:49blues will cause feelings of
  211. 5:51trustworthiness strength and
  212. 5:52dependability
  213. 5:53purple might give you the feeling of
  214. 5:55wisdom or nobility or creativity
  215. 5:57or knowledge colors really matter in the
  216. 5:59way that you
  217. 6:00want to portray yourself in your
  218. 6:02marketing so if you want somebody to
  219. 6:04feel confident when they're looking at
  220. 6:05your website
  221. 6:06use more black if you want them to feel
  222. 6:08calm
  223. 6:09or fairly neutral greens and grays are
  224. 6:12the better way to go
  225. 6:13another great option is the paradox of
  226. 6:14choice the more choices we have
  227. 6:17the more anxiety we feel to make that
  228. 6:19decision and the less ability we
  229. 6:20feel to make that decision just think of
  230. 6:23restaurants okay
  231. 6:24so you get cheesecake factory you get a
  232. 6:27freaking
  233. 6:27novel to make a decision for what you
  234. 6:29want to eat whereas chipotle is a simple
  235. 6:31menu
  236. 6:32and you get to make a decision very
  237. 6:33quickly and it's exactly what you want
  238. 6:35which are you gonna pick i'm gonna pick
  239. 6:37chipotle and it's not just because
  240. 6:39i live in belgium and they don't have
  241. 6:41chipotle and i desperately miss chipotle
  242. 6:43and it's making me hungry thinking about
  243. 6:44it it's also because it's a simple
  244. 6:46clean and easy decision making process
  245. 6:48and people can make that decision very
  246. 6:50quickly
  247. 6:51and go on with their day so simplifying
  248. 6:53the options that you give to people
  249. 6:54on your site maybe through a funnel page
  250. 6:56that doesn't have any menu options or
  251. 6:58something
  252. 6:59is really going to help making that
  253. 7:00decision process and that purchase
  254. 7:02process
  255. 7:02much easier and cleaner loss aversion or
  256. 7:05fomo this is
  257. 7:06a really good option as well because we
  258. 7:08don't want to be the only person that
  259. 7:10misses out
  260. 7:10so by adding that emotional trigger in
  261. 7:13there by the way i just did a whole
  262. 7:14video on all these emotional triggers
  263. 7:16you can check them out here but by
  264. 7:17adding fomo in the fear of missing out
  265. 7:20on something
  266. 7:20you increase the likelihood of somebody
  267. 7:22buying it's a little thing it's a little
  268. 7:24like
  269. 7:25fear in our gut and we want to make an
  270. 7:27action as a result of it
  271. 7:28another great option is price anchoring
  272. 7:30so price anchoring
  273. 7:31sets an expectation that's really high
  274. 7:33and then takes that expectation away
  275. 7:36so if you've ever been on a sales page
  276. 7:37where they say this
  277. 7:39product or service has so much value you
  278. 7:41would expect to
  279. 7:42pay ten thousand bucks for it or three
  280. 7:45thousand bucks for it
  281. 7:46but i'm going to give it to you for 297
  282. 7:48bucks you're going to jump at that
  283. 7:50chance
  284. 7:50you're going to go oh my god that's so
  285. 7:51cheap that's such a good deal for all of
  286. 7:53this value
  287. 7:54you're much more likely to make that
  288. 7:55purchase and price anchoring is really
  289. 7:57effective
  290. 7:58because it's almost like putting a bunch
  291. 8:00of weight in your backpack
  292. 8:01and then taking some of that weight out
  293. 8:03you got 100 pounds in your backpack
  294. 8:05and then you take 50 pounds out you're
  295. 8:07still carrying around 50 pounds
  296. 8:08but it feels a lot lighter right so
  297. 8:10that's how price anchoring works
  298. 8:12it lightens that load by setting a
  299. 8:14really heavy load in your mind
  300. 8:16and then removing it at the end last
  301. 8:18opportunity i want to talk about is eye
  302. 8:20tracking and that
  303. 8:22is why i have this little guy because we
  304. 8:24look at things in a certain way
  305. 8:26what we read the size of things the
  306. 8:28color of the objects
  307. 8:29they all matter imagery keeps us engaged
  308. 8:32video pulls us in
  309. 8:33even if it's something in the corner of
  310. 8:35our eye the strangest thing in the frame
  311. 8:37will always catch our attention and that
  312. 8:39is why i have the bear
  313. 8:41so when you're applying this to what
  314. 8:43you're marketing think about your
  315. 8:44website for instance
  316. 8:46the biggest thing is always going to be
  317. 8:47the most visible the smallest thing will
  318. 8:49not be the most visible
  319. 8:50even if you put the smallest text on the
  320. 8:52top people are not going to read that
  321. 8:53first
  322. 8:54their eye will always be attracted to
  323. 8:55the biggest thing so whatever you want
  324. 8:58to say first
  325. 8:58make that the biggest font make the
  326. 9:01thing that you need to add as detail the
  327. 9:02smallest font
  328. 9:03it doesn't matter what order it's in
  329. 9:05because people will always read from
  330. 9:06biggest
  331. 9:07to smallest so those are some cool ideas
  332. 9:10where do we find those opportunities on
  333. 9:11our site
  334. 9:12i'm going to show you right now so we're
  335. 9:13going to use two tools the first one is
  336. 9:15google analytics
  337. 9:16the second one is full story so with
  338. 9:18google analytics you're using your
  339. 9:19behavior reports and your funnels
  340. 9:21behavior reports are going to tell you
  341. 9:22exactly where people are dropping off
  342. 9:24exactly which pages are causing people
  343. 9:27to go forward to another page and then
  344. 9:29back to the page they were just on
  345. 9:30might show some confusion anything that
  346. 9:32indicates abnormal behavior
  347. 9:34on your behavior report is important to
  348. 9:37note so that you can go
  349. 9:38check and see what's going on in just a
  350. 9:39minute then use your funnels
  351. 9:42to analyze exactly where people are
  352. 9:44moving if they're taking the steps you
  353. 9:45expect them to
  354. 9:47or not and if they're not you can
  355. 9:49identify those pages as potential
  356. 9:51for optimization and then you can go for
  357. 9:53that okay and so then you're gonna go to
  358. 9:55full story which is
  359. 9:56kind of like hot jar it's one of those
  360. 9:59video sites that records the actions
  361. 10:01users are taking on your site
  362. 10:02you can see exactly how they're moving
  363. 10:04through your site and you might see that
  364. 10:06they're being caught up on something or
  365. 10:08other so a great example here is
  366. 10:10i was watching this for a client the
  367. 10:11other day and i noticed that that client
  368. 10:13didn't have a button on the header
  369. 10:15section for their home page
  370. 10:17all i did was take that button and move
  371. 10:19it into the header section
  372. 10:21and i doubled the click-through rate on
  373. 10:23on their home page
  374. 10:24that's it that's all i had to do so you
  375. 10:26can find
  376. 10:27little things that are gonna have huge
  377. 10:29impacts on your bottom line by doing
  378. 10:31this
  379. 10:32obviously there's a lot more to
  380. 10:33neuromarketing than this but this should
  381. 10:35get you started down the path
  382. 10:37to thinking about those little tweaks
  383. 10:38that you can make to increase the
  384. 10:40outcomes on your website
