The Power of the Subconscious Mind in Marketing

According to Melina Palmer of the Brainy Business, the subconscious mind plays a significant role in driving consumer behavior. While people often believe that their conscious minds make decisions, it is actually the subconscious mind that is responsible for 99% of our brain activity. When crafting marketing strategies, it is important to understand that the conscious and subconscious minds do not communicate the same way. Palmer likens the conscious mind to a rider on an elephant, with the subconscious mind being the elephant. Instead of trying to logically persuade the conscious mind, marketers should focus on properly motivating and incentivizing the subconscious mind, as it is where purchasing decisions are made.
