point of purchase marketing

What is Point-of-Purchase Marketing?

There is a great misconception that the sole aim of ads and other marketing materials is to bring the customer to the store. How about targeting the buying decisions of the customers who are already in the store? Well, point-of-purchase marketing aims to do just that.

If it spirals out of control for good, shopaholism can have a very negative impact on both the wallet and the psyche of the addict, and it can also have a devastating effect on their relationships with other people. To properly understand the phenomenon of shopaholism, let's look at its causes and symptoms.

How Product Reviews Impact Online Sales

We all rely on product reviews before we buy anything online. Consumers who aren’t satisfied with the information provided by the seller will often look for product reviews to see what customers have to say about the product or service they are about to purchase. So, it is fair to say that product reviews have become an indispensable part of online shopping. But how do they affect online sales?

Delayed Gratification: An Alternative Take on Shopping

Perhaps the biggest difference between shopping online and offline is how fast we receive the product. With online shopping, we have to wait a couple of days, sometimes a couple of weeks. Can we analyze the effects of this delay from a psychological perspective? Let’s have a look at the relationship between online shopping and delayed gratification.

Are We Really Convinced by Influencers and Their Branded Content?

Our lives have changed drastically with the recent developments in technology and the rising popularity of social media platforms. It’s only been a few years that these developments have started to change our lives from how we communicate with people to our shopping habits. With social media platforms becoming more popular and accessible, they have turned into a global platform that paved the way for brand-new digital marketing strategies and influencer marketing is one of them. Social media users who have a high follower count on social media platforms like Instagram or YouTube form partnerships with brands that are in line with their content and promote their products in their social media posts or videos. This new strategy has become such a hit for brands that it has overperformed traditional marketing strategies.

Customer Is Always Right

Is “Customer Is Always Right” A Thing of the Past?

A customer’s strongest argument when fighting for a refund or a traditional shopkeepers’ age-old motto, we have all used it at some point in our lives: “The customer is always right”. Well, it might not be the case anymore. Times have changed, so have our expectations as customers. We consume much more, and we do it so much faster. When we buy a service, we expect everything to go smoothly. The moment we encounter the slightest problem, we are ready to dial the customer services or pay a passive-aggressive visit to the store. Now that online shopping has become much more popular, we don’t even have to come face to face with representatives. We often don’t even need to talk on the phone. We have new platforms to make our complaints thanks to social media. The moment we have an issue, we tweet it away or post it on Facebook. Sometimes it feels like we are waiting for the smallest opportunity to have a go at a random brand or store.

checkout counter merchandising strategy

Things You Should Know About Checkout Counters

When shopping, we all end up at the checkout counter, where we have to wait in line for quite a while sometimes. While we impatiently wait for our turn to pay and leave, we take a look at the products that have been casually placed around the checkout. Most grocery stores will have different kinds of candy while clothing stores have small or discounted products like socks, bracelets and wallets. Since waiting in line requires you to remain where you are patiently, we get bored and start looking at the products around us.

Choice Paradox

Why Having Too Many Choices Can Stress You Out

Nowadays, we are offered such variety that even the tiniest decision is difficult to make because we have to eliminate so many options. Even going to Starbucks becomes an event in itself as it is almost impossible to order what you want in a simple, short sentence. Imagine what it’s like buying a more expensive product like a mobile phone or a TV. To make a decision, you have to fight with too much anxiety. You worry about regretting your decision later on, buying the wrong phone, not getting the best price/performance ratio etc. Tough, isn’t it?

The Marketing Strategy That Tricks Us All: The Decoy Effect

We all believe that we are in charge of our decisions. The shirt we picked this morning, the smart phone we bought last month, the plane tickets we booked for the weekend; we would like to believe that we, and only we, have made those decisions with no influence whatsoever. However, when you think about the way all those options are presented to us, it is not that hard to see that the decisions we make are in fact influenced by various factors. When we compare different options, we inadvertently focus on the features or promises that are presented as if they are a “necessity”, which leads us to buy products and services that we don’t always need.

time pressure in shopping

How Does Time Pressure Affect Consumer Behavior?

We all know that various factors go into play when it comes to our decisions as consumers. From a store’s interior design to the colors in a brand’s logo, everything is meticulously used by brands and stores to affect consumer behavior in a certain way. Brands employ a host of marketing techniques to affect our decision-making processes as customers before we make a purchase. One of those strategies is offering time-limited online offers. When we see the countdown on an online deal, it immediately attracts our attention because we want to know what the deal is. Seeing an online deal with a time constraint makes us consider purchasing the product or service on offer, even though we were not planning on making the purchase before seeing the deal online.

psychology behind buyer's remorse

Why Do We Feel Buyer’s Remorse?

Sometimes when we come home from shopping or receive our online order, we start regretting the purchase. We have all experienced it in one way or another. We suddenly realize that buying the product that we fell in love with at the store was, in fact, a mistake. The sudden realization that we actually do not need the product creeps in. We start having this inner dialog: “It wasn’t that good of a deal”, “I didn’t need something like this at all, “Why the hell did I buy this?”, which is a sign of buyer’s remorse. But, why do we feel buyer’s remorse, anyway?

Wait, Someone is Calculating How Much You’ll Spend in Your Lifetime

We are living in an age where marketing strategies have changed completely, which leads to new relationships being formed between stores and customers. Online shopping is getting more and more popular with new shopping platforms opening up every day. Consequently, consumers’ shopping habits have changed accordingly, but more importantly, stores’ ability to analyze their customers’ data has improved massively. Artificial Intelligence is now used more often in marketing, which has brought about new opportunities for stores to better understand and observe their customers. Stores are now able to collect all sorts of data about your shopping habits from how often you shop from a certain e-commerce platform to what types of products you are interested in.
