Google


Google Analytics offers an “Enterprise Class”, which features a tool called “e-commerce reporting” to help you track online sales. Another great thing about Google Analytics is that you can always find out where your website visitors are coming from with their “traffic source” feature. Therefore, if you have an ecommerce page on your website, you can find out how effective your social networks are at driving traffic to this page.

2D VS 3D


Advertisers who start producing 3D commercials can’t assume that all they need to do is change out a standard camera for a 3D setup – eye tracking data shows that people who view the same scene in 3D vs. 2D look at different things.

The image above shows eye-tracking “heat maps” for the same image viewed in 3D (left) vs. 2D (right). The Finnish and Japanese authors of the study, What do people look at when they watch stereoscopic movies?, found that when viewing 3D movies viewers gaze is less focused. There is more eye movement, and they take in more elements of the scene.

Creators of 3D commercials would be well advised to keep distracting elements out of the shots where they want attention to be focused on the actor(s) or product.

Eye-tracking

How to Write Taglines That Double Sales

En rekke undersøkelser viser at én frase slagord kan ha stor innvirkning på hvordan kundene ser produktet.

Harvard Business Review fokuserer på spørsmålet om markedsføring vs forebygging. Mens forebygging-tenkende forbrukere er bekymret for mulig tap av det de har, er forfremmelse-orienterte forbrukere mer positivt fokus på muligheter til å forbedre sine liv.

Tannkrem, for eksempel kan gi "hvitere tenner og frisk pust" (forfremmelse) eller "stop hulrom og drepe bakterier som forårsaker gingevitis" (forebygging). I slike tilfeller avhenger den riktige måten å markedsføre mer på kunden enn produktet.

derfor kunne direkte post eller web-annonser rettet mot yngre kunder vektlegger gevinst og langsiktig vekstpotensial, mens annonser for eldre kunder vil understreke sikkerhet, spesielt med tanke på å unngå tap og forebygge en reduksjon i framtidige inntekter.

Prevention-oriented, gain-frame: Prevent Clogged Arteries!
Prevention-oriented, loss-frame: Don’t Miss Out on Preventing Clogged Arteries!

The most effective messages were those in which the gain/loss framing matched the message: gain for promotion and loss for prevention

The Science of Shopping men vs women

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPjHObmgXKI&feature=related
http://www.economist.com/node/12792420

Here's another statistical comparison: Eighty-six percent of women look at price tags when they shop. Only 72 percent of men do. For a man, ignoring the price tag is almost a measure of his virility. As a result, men are far more easily upgraded than are women shoppers. They are also far more suggestible than women — men seem so anxious to get out of the store that they'll say yes to almost anything.

65 percent of male shoppers who tried something on bought it, as opposed to 25 percent of female shoppers.

Or why the conventional wisdom is, sell to the woman, close to the man. Because while the man may not love the experience of shopping, he gets a definite thrill from the experience of paying. It allows him to feel in charge even when he isn't. Stores that sell prom gowns depend on this. Generally, when Dad's along, the girl will get a pricier frock than if just Mom was there with her.

What do you get when you wire up a shopper with an EEG cap and eye-tracking gear?


Interestingly, all of those “Buy One, Get One Free!” and “SALE!” signs in your grocery store actually DO get your brain to light up.
Shoppers really do react to in-store signs and promotions and change their buying behavior.

Offer a Third Choice, Boost Sales

University of Minnesota have used brain scans to show that it’s easier for people to make a decision when a third product option is present vs. choosing between just two possibilities.

Overall, the presence of the extra, “just okay” possibility systematically increased preference for the better options. The fMRI scans showed that when making a choice between only two, equally preferred options; subjects tended to display irritation because of the difficulty of the choice process. The presence of the third option made the choice process easier and relatively more pleasurable

Good, Better, Best?

It has long been a common practice to offer three options – a “good” product for the value shopper, a “best” product from the shopper willing to pay a premium, and a “better” product for everyone else. That’s classic “compromise” marketing as the high-end product makes the mid-priced product look like an excellent choice.

More Choices, Fewer Sales


The trick, it seems, is finding the sweet spot for your product: offering enough choices to ensure that a customer can find a satisfying product, but not so many that the customer will be bewildered or demotivated.

- A 2000 study at Columbia University compared consumer behavior when confronted with a selection of either six or 24 gourmet jams in an upscale grocery store. The bigger selection did indeed cause more customers to stop and check it out – 60% vs. 40% for the limited selection. The interesting part, though, was the purchasing behavior. While 30% of the customers presented with the limited selection made a purchase, a mere 3% of those who saw the extensive selection bought something

See When Choice is Demotivating: Can One Desire Too Much of a Good Thing? Iyengar, S. S., & Lepper, M. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 79, 995-1006. (2000).]

A predicted 40% sales boost from letting the sunshine in


One study shows that changing the retail lighting environment can be good for the environment AND boost sales:


Skylights were found to be positively and significantly correlated to higher sales. All other things being equal, an average non-skylit store in the chain would likely have 40% higher sales with the addition of skylights, with a probable range between 31% and 49%. This was found with 99% statistical certainty. [From a Pacific Gas & Electric study: Skylighting and Retail Sales - An Investigation into the Relationship Between Daylighting and Human Performance.]
Have a consistent savings message, and repeat it frequently!

Most of us ARE willing to spend more if we think we are getting a deal

Simple Slogans Double Sales


Surprising research shows that consumers exposed to the Walmart name might actually spend less than those exposed to the store’s current slogan, “Save money. Live better.


The experiment divided subjects into two groups. Half were exposed to brand names associated with saving money, like Walmart, Dollar General, Sears, Ross, etc. The other half were exposed to the slogans for those retailers, like Sears’ current motto, “The Good Life at a Great Price. Guaranteed.” When asked to visualize a shopping trip and describe how much money would be spent, the brand-exposed group spent an average of $94 vs. the slogan group, who spent just about twice as much: $184.

copy his style?

You can’t go wrong with big graphics and big fonts.

Take a look at Steve’s slides. The font is sixty points. There’s usually one big screenshot or graphic. Look at other tech speaker’s slides—even the ones who have seen Steve in action. The font is eight points, and there are no graphics. So many people say that Steve was the world’s greatest product introduction guy..don’t you wonder why more people don’t copy his style?

A word-of-mouth factor


Innocent Drinks, a UK-based smoothie and juice company, donates 10% of their profits to charity. One way they do this is their annual "Big Knit." They ask customers to knit little hats for their bottles that will be displayed for two weeks at large grocery stores in November. For every behatted bottle sold, Innocent will donate 25 cents to a charity that helps the elderly pay their heating bills over the harsh winter. The goal this year: 650,00 hats which would mean £162,500 ($257,000 USD) in donations. The Big Knit was started in 2003 and this year the company hopes to hit the £1 million mark in donations.

Supporters are encouraged to start their own knitting circles to recruit their friends into the effort. Innocent provides all the of materials, including invitations, a hatometer poster to keep track of hats produced, as well as patterns and knitting instructions. You can see the hat creations from last year in this Flickr group. Innocent uses their Facebook page to have fans vote on "Hat of the Week."

And who could resist buying one of bottles that stand out on the store shelf in their warm, fuzzy tobaggans?

Er du kreativ?

If I can’t paint or draw, I’m not creative.

Artistic ability includes skills and talent to create fine works of art: painting, drawing, sculpting, musical composition, etc.

Creativity ability is the skill and talent to use our imagination to create and solve.

A better artist is creative. But, you don’t have to be an artist to be creative.
