95% of Purchasing Decisions Are Subconscious
When marketing a product to a consumer, it's most effective to target the subconscious mind.
Why do consumers buy one product over another? How do you develop brand loyalty? How do you maximize customer engagement?
According to Harvard professor Gerald Zaltman, the answer to all these questions is directly related to the subconscious mind. In Zaltman's book, "How Customers Think: Essential Insights into the Mind of the Market," the professor reveals many exciting ideas that can be helpful to marketers and brands.
Contrary to popular belief, consumers aren't as savvy as they might like to believe. For example, while many consumers report comparing multiple competing brands and price points when evaluating a purchasing decision, Zaltman's research indicates that this is not actually the case.
