How they trick you to spend money.

5 strategies that trigger your mind to buy.

// THREAD //
1) The “Sale”

You enter a shop and T-shirt priced: $60

Thought: “Ah, nice but slightly expensive”.

This happens with any product out there.

But let’s say the next day…

Same t-shirt but this time “SALE – $60 instead of $90”

Different story; this urgency triggers the buy.
2) The “Up-sell”

You see 2 popcorn offers…

Or ice creams, smoothies, any product...

You are likely to choose the cheapest size.

But with 3 options?

Your mind is triggered to look at the middle size…

Or even go for the largest size.

The “rule of 3” changes everything.
3) The “Free Delivery”

An online sale “product price” + “delivery price”.

Your thought: “I don’t want to pay the delivery”

In reality, most products that have free delivery…

Take the delivery into account in the total price.

Remember, there is nothing for “free”.
4) The “Cross-sell”

You often spend more money because…

“Other buyers also bought this…”

It happens to all.

Whether it’s books, or a Big Mac deal…

Or simply buying a mobile with other gadgets.

You go to buy 1 product and end up with 3.
5) The “Brand”

The power of a logo.

You might actually find better coffee without a branding.

But a logo brings emotion to life.

A connection makes your wallet happy to spend more.

It happens with branded clothing, education, cars, mobiles.

A brand will always be a brand.

10 tricks that trigger you to spend money.

// Thread
1. Reducing the left digit

The first digit makes a difference in buying decisions.

Your mind encodes numbers at a high speed.

It automatically assumes it is much cheaper with a lower number.
2. Removing the comma

Removing the comma makes the price looks cheaper.

($1,229 vs. $1299). It’s proven research.

Apple uses this strategy on their homepage.

10 types of people to avoid.

// Thread
Patronising personality.

They think they are better than you. They tend to be bullies. They shout. Make fun of you. Or talk behind your back. You can disarm them by remaining calm and avoiding sarcasm. “Are you done? Can we move on now?”.
Hypocrite personality.

They judge and then do that same thing. They are unaware of their words & actions. Let them know that it annoys you. Stay calm. Choose positive words to confront them. Use “I” instead of “you”. Prepare for emotional reactions.

8 tricks to master how to read people.

// Thread
Eye movement is their mind reflection

Avoiding eye contact? They're shy, hiding something or feeling intimidated.

- Looking bottom right? Reflecting feelings.
- Top right? Potential lie.
- Bottom left? Disagreement.
- Top left? Remembering.

Study eye movements.
Writing style defines their personality

Long sentences? They struggle to explain/understand.

WRITING LIKE THIS!?! High energy/hyper.

Short sentences? Calm & paused.

Received a short email? Respond with a short email.

People are what they write and how they write.

10 tricks that trigger you to spend money.

// Thread
No currency ($) signs.

You’ll notice it in restaurant menus.

And even retail shops.

You spend more when you don’t see the dollar sign.

It reduces the “pain of paying”.
Supersized Carts.

Shoppers don’t like to push around empty carts.

Larger carts lead to spending 40% more.

If you want to avoid overspending…

Consider grabbing a basket or a smaller cart.

10 mistakes to avoid before your 30’s.

// Thread
“You have to be nice”

Don’t confuse being nice with kindness.

Nice = concerned with not upsetting someone.

Kind = concerned with doing what is right.

Nice often leads to a lot of "yes", wanting to be liked.

Respect yourself. Your own time. Do what is right.
“Save your money”

Money in your bank account doesn't multiply. Find ways to keep your money in motion. Learn about crypto, stocks, real estate. Have skin in the game. A $50 investment profit or $50 investment loss will teach big life lessons. Always be compounding.
