Course Description
In this highly entertaining and interactive course you will discover how and why marketing works. First we will need to understand what triggers us. Well be diving deep into our conscious and subconscious decision-making processes
and Ill show you, with tons of concrete real life examples, how marketing strategies have been able to cash in on those processes.
Now marketing hasnt been waiting around for neuroscience to come up with insights about the brain to start applying these principles. Through trial and error, and a lot of
testing, marketing departments were able to develop sound principles based on empirical evidence. In this course, not only will I show you what works, but also why it does so well. The scientific part of this course is based on the latest research in neuroscience and psychology and is brought to you through an easy-to-understand model of how our mind works.
And we wont stop there. You see, this is not a course on how to apply neuroscience to your own marketing efforts, even though I guess you could use the information here to
do so.
The real aim of this course is to educate consumers, and arent we all, so that next time we feel the urge to buy something, we are able to look beyond the marketing, and see
if were just being manipulated or if we genuinely need or want to buy something
Because in the end, this course is about empowerment. Its about being able to free oneself from consumerism. Its about living consciously, being aware when were being
played, and making educated choices.
So what should you expect?
Understand your subconscious mind- and how we make buying decisionsRecognize strategies used by marketers- and how they try to influence usUse simple rules of thumb- and avoid falling for umpulse buyingFree yourself from marketing manipulation- and make conscious buying decisionsAnd So Much More...
such as survival instincts, sex, herding, obedience, starvation, neurotransmitters, countless commercials, and so on ...
Who this course is for:
Anyone with an interest in human behaviorAnyone who has ever wondered why we buy the things we buyAnyone who has ever bought something and regretted it laterThis course is not for people looking for ways to manipulate others. It's about empowering, not taking power away from others
