Consumer behavior is understanding how humans act when they buy.

If someone knows the most about how humans behave, that must be @JamesClear.

I took a look at his last 3,000 tweets, some all the way back to 2018.

Here are 8 consumer behavior lessons from him:
1. Make it about them

People do not care about what you do.

People care about what you can do for them.

2. Make it convenient

Humans are lazy by nature.

The less they have to do, the more likely they will buy.

The simpler, the better.

3. Make it social

People want to belong more than anything else.

Tell them how many people have bought your product.

Tell them how people are seeing results from using your service.

They will naturally want to try it.

4. Make it public

When people share something publicly, they commit to it.

Besides, public commitment by customers = free exposure.

Design strategies that reward this kind of behavior.

5. Learn the fundamentals

Mediums change.

Trends change.

Human mind does not.

Invest time understanding how and why we buy. It's a high ROI skill.

6. Emphasize losses

All things equal, humans put more weight on losses than on wins.

Use strategies that take advantage of this bias.

7. Remember: People buy with emotions and justify with logic

Not only distractions, but also purchases are justified.

Actually, 95% of our purchase decisions are subconscious.

Stop selling reasons. Start selling feelings.

8. Craft the environment

There's a reason they put relaxing music in a spa instead of Metallica.

Your environment shapes your behavior. Even when you buy.

Bonus: A great product makes life easier

These strategies won't reach full potential if you don't sell something valuable.

Let it be your #1 priority. Then optimize the rest.

Thank you for making it all the way to the bottom!
