Q & A
What is neuromarketing and why is it significant in the marketing world?
-Neuromarketing is the application of neuroscientific methods to understand consumer behavior and decision-making processes. It is significant because it helps businesses understand how customers react to marketing stimuli at a neurological level, allowing for more effective marketing strategies.
How does eye gaze in advertisements influence consumer attention?
-Eye gaze in ads is important because it directs the viewer's attention. When a baby in an advertisement looks straight at the camera, viewers pay more attention to the baby's face. However, if the baby is looking at an object or text, the viewer's attention shifts to the ad's content.
What role does packaging play in consumer attraction and how has neuroimaging influenced it?
-Packaging plays a crucial role in attracting consumers as it can influence their perception and feelings about a product. Neuroimaging has been used to redesign packaging for brands like Campbell's and Frito-Lay, by understanding consumer responses to different packaging elements such as color, text, and images.
How do colors in marketing impact consumer emotions and purchasing decisions?
-Colors can evoke a wide range of emotions in consumers. Certain colors are linked to specific emotions, and when used effectively, they can influence purchasing decisions. For example, Coca Cola's use of red is a well-known example of color influencing brand recognition and consumer appeal.
How does neuromarketing use fMRI to evaluate advertising effectiveness?
-Neuromarketing uses fMRI to compare advertising efforts before they are released to the public. By analyzing brain activity in response to different ads, neuromarketers can determine which ads are more effective in engaging consumers and driving desired actions.
What did the study from Columbia University reveal about decision-making and the number of options presented to consumers?
-The study revealed that presenting too many options to consumers might lead to analysis paralysis, where consumers are less likely to make a purchase due to the overwhelming number of choices.
How does EEG imaging contribute to understanding consumer emotions towards products or marketing?
-EEG imaging is used in Emotion Response Analysis (ERA) to measure a person's emotional response to a product or marketing material. It helps advertisers understand how interested or passionate consumers are about a product, which is vital for improving product appeal.
What psychological principle does neuromarketing reveal about the fear of losing and its impact on consumer behavior?
-Neuromarketing reveals that the fear of losing, or the potential for loss, is a powerful motivator for consumers. 'Buy before it's gone' tactics and framing choices as losses can significantly increase the likelihood of a purchase.
How does the 'anchoring effect' in neuromarketing influence consumer decision-making?
-The 'anchoring effect' suggests that the first piece of information we receive about a product influences our subsequent decisions. Advertisers use this by comparing products or services, often highlighting an initial offer or feature that makes subsequent choices seem more attractive.
How did PayPal use neuromarketing insights to improve the adoption of their online payment service?
-PayPal discovered through neuromarketing studies that emphasizing the speed and ease of their service was more appealing to customers than focusing on security. This insight led them to market their payment service as a fast and efficient option.
What insights did neuromarketing provide about the impact of headlines on consumer attention?
-Neuromarketing has shown that headlines which slightly alter known phrases activate the hippocampus, making them stand out and capture attention. This method, termed 'Hippocampal Headlines', is used to create impactful and memorable headlines.
How do neuromarketing techniques reveal hidden consumer preferences that may not be expressed in focus groups?
-Neuromarketing techniques like EEG can uncover hidden consumer preferences by measuring brain activity in response to stimuli. This can reveal genuine reactions that consumers might suppress in focus groups due to social desirability bias.
What role do psychological principles play in video game design and how do they affect the brain's reward system?
-Psychological principles such as rewards and punishments are used in video game design to maintain player interest and engagement. These principles can increase the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter linked to happiness and good memories, making players more likely to continue playing.
How did Hyundai utilize neuromarketing in testing the design of their car prototypes?
-Hyundai used EEG to test consumer brain responses to different design features of their car prototypes. The insights gained from this neuromarketing approach helped Hyundai determine which design elements were most likely to prompt a purchase and subsequently influenced the exterior design of their cars.
What insights have neuromarketers gained about pricing strategies and how do they affect consumer decision-making?
-Neuromarketers have found that rounded numbers are more effective when consumers are making decisions based on emotions, while more complex numbers are better when the logical part of the brain is engaged. Complex numbers make the brain work harder, potentially leading to the perception that the product is of higher value.
How do neuromarketing methods contribute to the design and layout of websites?
-Neuromarketing methods are used to analyze consumer behavior on websites, focusing on elements like color schemes, layouts, and font sizes. Findings suggest that certain design elements, such as customer reviews and social widgets, can increase customer engagement. Additionally, horizontal layouts are less effective than vertical ones due to the natural reading pattern from top to bottom.

Transcripts
Neuromarketing is taking over the world, and almost every big business and university has used
it in some way. Even though neuromarketing is so important in the marketing world,
many people don't know what it is or how it can be used successfully. The next 15 interesting
examples of neuromarketing in work are shown in the animations below. 1. Why eye gaze is
important 106 It's no secret that ads with people in them work much better than those without.
In particular, people tend to look at pictures and movies with babies for longer and pay more
attention to them. Advertisers have tried for a long time to sell more baby goods by showing
close-ups of cute baby faces, but eye tracking technology has shown that this is not enough.
Researchers found that when the baby looks straight at the camera, people pay much more
attention to the baby's face and less attention to what the ad is about. But if the baby is
looking at the object or text, the viewer will actually pay attention to what the ad is about.
Because of these findings, marketers now know that baby faces are popular with customers,
but they also make sure that the baby is looking at what they want the customer to buy.
Here is more information about the study. 2. Having good packaging We all know what it's
like to be pulled to something because of how it looks. Advertisers have always known that what's
inside doesn't always matter, but neuroimaging has taken this to a whole new level. Neuroimaging has
been used to redesign the packaging of brands like Campbell's and Frito-Lay. In tests, customers were
shown packaging and asked how they felt about it. Their answers were either good, bad, or neutral.
Also, they were asked a lot of questions about the use of color, text, and images.
This study showed that customers didn't like shiny packaging but didn't mind matte packing. Then,
Frito-Lay got rid of the shiny package and switched to the new matte look. 107 3. Color
Matters Think about how the colors you choose might affect how potential customers feel.
Colors can make us feel a wide range of feelings, and studies show that some colors are linked to
certain emotions. When used right, color can be a powerful business tool. Coca Cola's use of the
color red is one of the most well-known examples, but there are many other companies that have also
used color to great effect. Neuromarketing experts who study how colors work in advertising have put
colors into subgroups to help people figure out how to use them effectively. For example,
if you want to draw professionals, cool blues are a good choice. 4. How well ads work For a
long time, studying the brain was something that only academics and scientists did. Neuromarketing,
on the other hand, has used the amazing power of fMRI images to learn more about how people act
and what they buy. One way that fMRI is used in neuromarketing is to compare advertising efforts
before they are shown to the public. In one study, the people who took part saw three different ads
for the National Cancer Institute's telephone number. The ad campaign that made people think
the most in a certain area was the one that got a lot more calls to the hotline. This new way
of doing things is a new way to find advertising efforts that will really get people interested.
5. Can't decide what to do 108 Research on how people act sometimes goes against what we may
have thought before. Columbia University did a study that showed that too many options might
make people not want to buy. Using different kinds of displays, they found that customers were less
likely to stop at booths with a lot of choices. 6. Figuring out how happy you are EEG imaging is
used in Emotion Response Analysis (ERA) to figure out how a person feels about a product, marketing,
etc. How interested or passionate we are about a product is very important to the advertiser.
If, for example, the customer gets very frustrated with your product, it's clear that there's a
problem with how it works that you may want to fix. EEG can be used to measure how happy a
customer is. In one study, EEG was used to measure how happy people were with a treatment for skin
problems. They found that customer happiness was linked to activity in the parts of the brain that
are used to judge facial beauty. 7. The fear of losing Neuromarketing has found that people really
don't want to lose out, which is an interesting fact. People worry about what they could lose as
well as what they could win. Because of this, "buy before it's gone" tactics work very well.
When the other choice is presented as a loss, people are much more likely to buy.
Because of this, "framing" is a very important idea in 109 neuromarketing. With this method,
ads help people make decisions in a way that makes them more likely to spend money. 8. Settling down
The first thing your customer learns about you is very important. It can help them make decisions
in the future and set the tone for how they buy things. Neuroscientists have found a flaw
in how the mind works and how it decides what to do. As individuals, we rarely know how much
something is worth based on what it is in and of itself. Instead, we compare it to other choices.
Using the "anchoring effect" is a good way to use neuromarketing because it helps people make
better decisions. If two hotel rooms are about the same price but one comes with
free coffee in the morning, you are much more likely to choose the one with the free coffee.
You probably won't look into the quality of the rooms or any of the other features.
Advertisers often use this to their advantage when comparing different deals or sets. In this way,
we may often end up accepting contracts or making promises for a whole year. 9. The Need to Go Fast
Neuromarketing is a good way to figure out what customers want. Companies often try to give the
impression of safety and security, but customers may be more interested in speed and efficiency.
PayPal found this out when they did a study and found that the promise of ease got people more
excited than the promise of security. They used this 110 information to get more people to use
their online payment service by putting the spotlight on how fast it was. 10. Revealing
Hidden Responses In this ad, a woman played a joke on her friend by putting orange Cheetos in
her white load of laundry. Focus groups said they didn't like the ad, but when the same people took
part in an EEG study, it showed that they really liked it. People in the focus group were afraid
to say that they found the ad funny out of fear that other people would think they were mean.
In this way, neuromarketing can show thoughts and preferences that have been kept secret.
11. Punishment and Reward Even video game design has started to use psychological
principles. For example, using rewards and punishments to make games interesting and
keep people playing them is one way to use these principles. By making the game more rewarding,
the action may also raise the amount of the chemical dopamine in the brain.
This neurotransmitter is linked to happiness and good memories, which can make a person
more interested in playing. Now, game designers even hire psychologists to help them make games,
and psychological concepts are built right into the way the games work. 12. Testing a model
Even though ads are a big part of how people act, the design of the goods themselves can also
be important. 111 Hyundai used EEG to test their prototypes in a well-known case of neuromarketing.
They looked at how the brain responded to different design features and tried to figure out
what kind of stimulation made people most likely to buy. Based on what this study found, Hyundai
changed how the cars looked from the outside. 13. How to Set the Price How to price things in a way
that makes people want to buy them is a question that has been asked and debated for a long time.
We all know that putting a price of $9.99 instead of $10 on something is a way to get people to
buy it, but does it work? Several new discoveries are giving us more information about this age-old
question. Neuromarketers are using a fascinating new piece of information that shows that rounded
numbers are more likely to work when people are making decisions based on their emotions,
while more complicated numbers work better when the logical brain is involved. This
is because complex numbers make the brain work harder, which may make it think that
the product with the more complicated price is the better choice. 14. Layout of a website
Neuromarketing methods are also used to help plan the layout of websites. Neuromarketers are looking
at our choices for everything from color schemes to layouts to font sizes and more on websites.
There are now some hard and fast rules about how to make websites. For example,
if you 112 use certificates, customer reviews, and social widgets, you're more likely to get
customers than if you don't. Another interesting finding is that websites that are laid out
horizontally instead of vertically work less well. This is because reading from the top
down uses the brain and makes people more likely to keep scrolling. 15. Headlines That Stand Out
Headlines are one of the first things people see, so it makes sense that they need to stand out.
Because of this, they have been studied a lot, and a new neuromarketing method called
"Hippocampal Headlines" has been created. What's the meaning? Researchers at University College
London found that our hippocampus is activated when a known phrase is changed in a small way.
This makes us pay attention. Many writers have used Patron and their slogan "Practice
makes Patron" as an example of this. We hope these cases have been fun for you.
