Tactic_Indicate

Description

Marking your target plan as "Most Popular" is an effective persuasion technique to encourage customers to choose it.

Research has shown that we have a strong tendency to copy others' choices and behaviour - especially when we are hesitating on a decision - and seeing that this plan is the most popular one will create a positive bias towards it.

Inspired by Nick Kolenda 

Principles

  • Social Proof (Sherif, 1935; Asch, 1956)

The Research

Social Proof

Social Proof is a type of conformity. When a person is in a situation where they are unsure of the correct way to behave, they will often look to others for cues concerning the correct behaviour.
