Brainy Breakdown 🤓
Our perception of price impacts our buying decision.
If we see a heavy discount, we’re more likely to take out our wallets.
And marketers know this.
The trend of slashing out an anchoring price and offering a discounted price is especially prevalent in digital products.
🚨 If you’re doing this: you’ll want to pay attention because it’s technically illegal.
Unless your product is regularly priced and bought at that specific price – you can’t slash it out and put a better price next to it.
(Rob wrote a great thread explaining the who, what, why behind Udemy’s court case).
Relying on Price Anchoring to drive conversions? Here’s a few dozen other psychology biases that you can legally use.

What does the content management system of companies like Tesla, Adidas, Oatly, Netflix, Mindvalley, and T-Mobile look like?
We were curious too.
So, we asked them.
We polled 1,639 respondents from 7 countries to figure out how organizations worldwide use their content management systems.
Turns out they all have a few things in common.
And you can copy-and-paste what these teams are doing into how you use your own content management system (no matter how big or small your company is).

Brainy Spotlight 💡
John Harrison, Why We Buy reader and copywriter, is a fan of Negativity Bias.
But, he makes a specific tweak to the psychology bias.
Instead of blaming the reader for the situation, he makes sure to blame others for why they’re in that situation (and in need of the product).
This sparks the Common Enemy Effect and creates the mental frame that the product and the buyer are fighting against the same larger foe.
Not sure who your buyers see as the “enemy”?
Get on a Clarity Call and ask them.
