the psychology of selling.
do you ever go shopping for one thing ? and then buy other things you don't need? lots of people do. In fact, many stores use certain techniques so we buy more. here is how. one. bright colors. red, green, yellow on the wall or a sign ,make you stop and look at something. two. Time limits. at some store sells. you have only a short time to buy something. today only all T-shirts 25 percent off. when you read this sign, you may be more likely to buy a shirt you don't need. why? because you can only get a lower price today. three. special extras ,other stores offer something special ,buy one bag , get one fifty percent off. when people read this sign. many will buy two bags instead of one. they may not need the second bag. but they buy it anyway. four. free samples ,some stores give shoppers a little food, drink ,or other item to try for free. study show the when you try something ,you are more likely to buy it. the next time you go into a store or shop online, loook around ,how many techniques do you see.
