Brainy Snack 🧠
Research studies show that people are 50% more likely to say yes to a small request if you ask them a large one first.
(It’s called the Door-in-the-face technique).
Ask your buyers a large request first.
Something that you don’t actually need them to say yes to.
Follow up with a smaller request.

Brainy principle used: Door-in-the-Face Technique

Brainy Breakdown 🤓
Dyson’s marketing team was on their A-game when they created this ad.
Instead of adding one buyer psychology strategy to this ad, they added two.
Here’s the breakdown:

#1: The Framing Effect
“Twice the suction” frame’s Dyson’s vacuum as immediately superior to the other vacuums.
#2: The Picture Superiority Effect
Our minds process images 60x faster than words.
With one quick look you can easily remember Dyson’s vacuum. That’s because their marketing team purposely made Dyson’s vacuum much larger than the rest.
As much as this helps to prove the framing of the suction power, it also helps make Dyson’s product more memorable long-term.
