Neurological responses influence buying choices from "summary" of Neuromarketing by Patrick Renvoise,Christophe Morin
The decisions we make when purchasing a product or service are not solely rational; they are heavily influenced by our brain's neurological responses. These responses play a critical role in shaping our buying choices, often without us even realizing it. Our brains are wired to seek pleasure and avoid pain, a concept deeply ingrained in our evolutionary history. When we encounter a product or service, our brain quickly assesses whether it will bring us pleasure or pain. This assessment is not a conscious process; it happens at a subconscious level, driven by our primal instincts. Neurological responses also play a significant role in forming emotional connections with brands. When we feel a strong emotional connection to a brand, our brain releases chemicals such as dopamine, oxytocin, and serotonin, which are associated with pleasure, trust, and happiness. These chemicals reinforce our positive feelings towards the brand, making us more likely to choose it over competitors. Furthermore, our brains are wired to seek simplicity and familiarity. When faced with a choice, our brains prefer options that are easy to understand and familiar. This is why brands often use familiar colors, logos, and slogans in their marketing campaigns – to tap into our brain's preference for the known and familiar. Neurological responses also play a crucial role in decision-making. When we are faced with too many choices, our brain experiences cognitive overload, which can lead to decision paralysis. To avoid this, our brain often relies on heuristics, or mental shortcuts, to make quick decisions. These heuristics are based on our past experiences, emotions, and beliefs, and can heavily influence our buying choices.- Our brain's neurological responses have a profound impact on our buying choices. By understanding how these responses work, marketers can create more effective and persuasive campaigns that resonate with consumers on a neurobiological level.
