Casual Articles - Neuromarketing: Smart Marketing Or Jedi Mind Control Trick?
Whether you are a high flying executive or an office junior, it is hard for relationship breakdown at home not to affect performance at work. Indeed many career-minded people find themselves in the sudden and unenviable position of being home alone. Something which most men, in my experience as a coach and matchmaker, are not very good at.Preferring to spend as little time at home as possible, some seek solace by working long hours and avoiding the pain of coming back to an
Known as "neuromarketing," this controversial science could one day lead to new advertising strategies that directly stimulate hard-wired mental reflexes rather than appealing to fuzzy consumer attitudes, according to an article in Wired News. http://www.wired.com/news/medtech/0,1286,67597,00.html
The Time article also cited research that seems to have solved that eternal mystery – why people
Measuring performance results is a great thing to do, but understanding the causes of those results is at least as worthwhile. Understanding causes means you have information about how to exercise more influence (or control) over those results. If you want your results to improve, you've got to change the right things about the process or activity or function that produces those results.Understanding the real causes of performance results means taking a more rigorous approach
Why we often let unconscious biases affect our opinions about people who are taller or have a different skin colour. And why we find it even harder to explain them when asked.
I consider "Blink" essential reading for all marketers. I mean, which blue-blooded marketer wouldn't love to know how the workings of their customer’s brain will decide whether their new packaging is going to work or fail?
Or why their new website is converting far fewer visitors than the old one? Of course we would.
But is it really possible to understand why people choose Budweiser over Coors? George W. over John Kerry? Coke over Pepsi?
No one really knows for sure. And asking people why they took those decisions doesn't necessarily give the right answers.
Why? Because most of us really haven't a clue as to why we make those choices.
95% of consumer decision-making occurs subconsciously, according to research from Harvard University, cited in an article in Time. That's a hell of a lot of decisions we have little or no conscious control over. http://www.time.com/time/insidebiz/article/0,9171,1101040308-596161,00.html&e=9707
In Blink, Gladwell also shows how sometimes the sort of data that marketers rely on - such as market research and focus groups - can fail miserably because they don't always predict actual consumer behaviour, as Coca-Cola discovered during the New Coke fiasco.
But new research is beginning to shine a light on the mysterious workings of the neural processes behind those snap decisions.

Greeting cards have been around for ages. Every occasion and every holiday asks of us a little token of remembrance to share and to spread among friends and loved ones. Simple greeting cards can turn one’s plain words into warm thoughts and hellos. It just translates your words into a more intimate hug or cheer for that special someone who needs it.Greeting cards and greeting cards printing may seem not at all a fussy thing to do. There are plenty of commercial cards in the ma

BackgroundA supply chain is the stream of processes of moving goods from the customer order through the raw materials stage, supply, production, and distribution of products to the customer. All organizations have supply chains of varying degrees, depending upon the size of the organization and the type of product manufactured. These networks obtain supplies and components, change these materials into finished products and then distribute them to the customer.Man

What is Messaging On Hold? Message On Hold is a customized recording that callers will hear when they are placed on hold.

Messaging On Hold is actually a highly effective marketing tool. It is basically an infomercial about your business. Yes, it will keep your callers entertained avoiding tha

Today I want to focus on how you can get blogs to really work for you, drawing not only interest from other members, but also inspiring them to get in touch and comment, increasing the level of engagement and increasing the possibility of forming relationships that are rewarding in all sorts of ways!I know a lot of people think blogs are rubbish and I don't blame them one bit. A blog is nothing more than a silly waste of space unless the content has value to the reader.

The Time article also cited research that seems to have solved that eternal mystery – why people prefer Coke over Pepsi. The answer lies in how people identify with brands. Although consumers preferred Pepsi’s taste they choose Coke because they identified with its brand better.
A branch of cognitive neuroscience, neuromarketing relies heavily on the ability to visualise how the brain sees choices and takes decisions, using brain scans and a process called functional magnetic resonance imaging or fMRI. fMRI measures the level of oxygen in the blood and tells scientists which parts of the brain are most active. http://www.wired.com/news/medtech/0,1286,65775,00.html
According to the Wired article, this research even recently revealed the differences in the brains of Democrats and Republicans.
Consumer groups worry that the research could lead to companies using more effective "mind control" to brainwash consumers into decisions that the companies desire, and have issued calls to ban the technology. http://www.commercialalert.org/index.php/category_id/1/subcategory_id/82/article_id/202
Imagine if the tobacco, alcohol, and gambling industries (or even worse, politicians) should start exploiting such information to manipulate the weak minds of their zombified consumers.
But the experts insist we are light years away from such an Orwellian scenario, and believe that the research will help businesses better understand the needs of their consumer and show them how to make life better for their consumers.
Whatever the outcome, neuromarketing is certainly going to be a bone of contention between marketers hoping to get a better grip on their consumer’s decision making processes, and consumer activists seeking to help consumers retain control over their minds.
