Ever wonder why people buy what they buy?
Why people make the choices in life they do &endash;
opting for one person, business or product over
another?
Most of us assume that others use logic in making
their decisions. But do they really?
Let's take a look at some very real ways people decide
to choose &endash; ways that may surprise you - to learn
that both reason and logic are left out of the equation
most of the time.
Think of the last time you walked into an event where
there were a lot of people that you didn't know. What did
you do right away? Go to all of the strangers and start
introducing yourself? Probably not. If you're like most,
you went directly to the few people in the room you did
know and stayed with them. Some people won't even go to
an event unless they have a familiar person to accompany
them.
Familiarity is one of the most powerful yearnings
human being have. Most people feel far more comfortable
in places they do know than in places they don't. The
same goes for products and services. Big marketers know
this rule well. Why do we see and hear a brand name
everywhere &endash; on public buses, billboards, TV,
radio? To build familiarity.
The more familiar a name or brand, the more ready
people are to buy it &endash; even if they know it's not
the very best out there! Make sure people know who you
are. The more familiar you are, the more likely they will
choose you.
