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.

When robots are laughing and crying.

When robots are laughing and crying.  Does the AI have feelings?  Does the AI have feelings? Or can it be emphatic? The fact is this program code that controls the AI determines if it can give empathic reactions. The problem with the human nervous system is that we don't make a difference in the writing of empathic letters or telling empathic stories human or AI. Our nervous system is not adapted to AI yet. And that's why we cannot separate text written by AI from text that made by humans.  What does somebody make with AI that can emulate feelings? The fact is that the cyborgs are useful tools for infiltration operations. The human-size robots can have WLAN/6G connections with the central computers. Or they can form a neural network that shares information between all group members. The robots can also act as walking neural network-based supercomputers. That can make complicated solutions.  In those networks, each member shares information and their data-handling capacity all o

Earth 2.0 has been caused discussion about the possibility to find another civilization

    Earth 2.0 has been caused discussion about the possibility to find another civilization The Earth 2.0 or officially Kepler-452b is locating extreme log distance from Earth(1).    A new Earth-type planet has been found near the star, which is similar to our own Sun. The journey to that planet would take 1400 years, even if the spacecraft will reach the speed of the light. The planet has been found in the year 2008, but the confirmation of the existence of that planet has been taken time, but in 2015 the confirmation has been got, and Earth 2.0 has turned true.  The mass of that planet is 1,9 times Earth and the temperature is excellent if we are thinking about liquid water, but the journey to that planet will take so long, that we cannot ever go in there by using regular rockets and technology. The thing is that this kind of planets are the most interesting if we are looking for the lifeforms, which are similar to us, and the problem with that kind of things is that the communicatio

Tunguska meteorite and the natural nuclear fission

  Image I Tunguska meteorite and the natural nuclear fission 1) Tunguska UFO-theory  Tunguska meteorite is the mystery, that has been solved once, but then the case has been open again because Lake Cheko was not suitable for an impact crater. That lake has been introducing as an impact crater of the Tunguska meteorite. But the problem is that the shape of that lake is like a swimming pool. And that means it cannot form by a meteorite. So the mystery remains.  Meteorites can launch the natural nuclear fission if they hit the uranium ore, and transfer the impact energy to that ore. And is the thing that the famous "Tunguska" meteorite caused that kind of effect? There is also a theory that some "UFO" explode in that area, but the thing is that it is only theory, but interesting topics for some TV-series.  So I will begin this text by handling that theory, which is one of the incredible and outstanding theories in the world. Officially there is no physical evidence of
