Decoy-effect: how do marketing specialists make people see what they want?



In marketing texts, the first image is important. That thing wakes people's interest. And makes a person want to open the marketing material. The main problem with the marketing material is simple. How to make people look at them? And how to make them buy the products that are maximizing the profit. 

So the first image wakes up interest. But also, the last image, and last words have an important role. They are the things that remain in memory. 

One thing that marketing people use when they manipulate our senses is the so-called decoy effect. The decoy effect means. That a certain product in the line raised above others.

Marketing people can make that thing by spotting light on that product. Like in the image above this text. The light is spotted at the door in the middle of the row. And that makes it easier to find. The person would choose that door where is light above it rather than other doors. 


The second image is a series of coffee cups. The last one is the largest. And the idea is that when the person sees the last cup. The image of the largest cup remains in mind. And brains believe that the price per liter is lower in the largest cup in the series. 

The last thing in the line is the largest cup. And that adjusts the brain to think about the last thing in the line. The customer says easily the "large cup". 


One of the versions of the decoy effect is the series of prices. 


Product A: Price 1,50 and quality rate 40%

Product B: Price 5,60 and quality rate 90%


The idea is that person buys a quality. Quality is the thing that concerns everybody. 


But what if the product is something like beer or ice cream? 

This example is straight from ScitechDaily. 

Beer A, which costs $1.80 and has a quality rating of 50

Beer B, which costs $2.60 and has a quality rating of 70



Could there be the bad beer? The idea is that the people are starting to look at the last numbers. And they will pay the extra price for the quality. 

Or 

Product A: Price 1,50 and quality 40%

Product B: Price 3,50 and quality 80% and the limited edition

When deciding between multiple choices of products or services, being aware of the decoy effect could help you make better choices. (ScitechDaily/When deciding between multiple choices of products or services, being aware of the decoy effect could help you make better choices)



The idea of those prices is to make people think that they must be hurry if they want to try that special product. 


The last thing is important. That thing remains in the mind of the lead. The last thing also wipes other memories out of the mind. So the person sees the quality in the last. And people want to buy high-quality products. The thing is that brains forget that the high quality of those products costs money. The higher price means many times good quality. 

Western people normally read from left to right and the last thing that person sees is the largest cup. So when a person goes to cash the thing that comes to mind is the large coffee. When some option is above others. That makes it seem better. The purpose of the decoy effect is to put people to see things that the marketer wants.

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies?

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies? The simplest way to control zombies, which are made by using tetrodotoxin, which is called "zombie poison" is to use the automatic dispenser, which is normally used in diabetes treatment. In this case, the dispenser would be loaded by using tetrodotoxin. If the level of this poison is right, the person would be totally under the control of other people. And if the system cannot detect this poison there is a possibility to make the laboratory experiment when the staff will follow the decrease of the tetrodotoxin, and then the system can use a simple clock, which will inject poison to the body of a victim after a certain time. This would be an effective tool in the hands of military and counter-terror operators. Those zombies can be captured enemy operators, who will send back, and then they just kill their ex-partners. By using genetically engineered bacteria could be possible to create t...

Terrifying visions of genetic engineering.

 Terrifying visions of genetic engineering.  The modern Hounds of Baskerville ABW:s (Advanced biological weapons are the modern Hounds of Baskerville. The term ABV means the animal which is genetically engineered. And which is controlled by using some interactive electronic systems. There is a possibility to connect the action camera to dogs collars. And transmit commands to that animal by using electronic systems. Spoken words can use to the commands.  Or they can be a series of sounds that are stored in the sound files. When the operator activates a certain file that sound means a certain command to the animals. There is the possibility to automatize some commands by connecting the system to the image recognition tool. When the action camera sees something that is stored in the memory of the computer. That system sends the coded order to the animal.  Nanotechnology and genetic engineering are the most lethal combination in the world. The ABW:s (Advanced Biological ...

Facebook and dominance of the media.

The position of Facebook is dominating and that causes concern. Facebook is a well-known and commonly used service. And that thing causes that the information is starting to pile up in that service. That information contains data that we might want to hide. Facebook is a network-based service that can use for many purposes from marketing to intelligence.  Facebook was down and the thing cost about half a million dollars per hour to that service. That shutdown has shown how dominating that service has been growing. Facebook is a powerful tool. It can use to track the networks of people.  Artificial intelligence can show the network map of the people who are using that service. The data that travels between certain members of the network can show how often those people are contacting each other. There is a lot of criticism against Facebook but the fact is that everybody is using that thing.  The attitudes toward Facebook are conflicting. People are criticizing that service ...
