Episode notes
The Anchoring Effect
- The anchoring effect describes how the first piece of information heavily influences subsequent decisions.
- People rely on the initial "anchor" when making judgments.
Anchoring in Retail
- Clothing companies use anchoring by marking up prices then offering discounts, making items seem more valuable.
- A $50 shirt listed at $100 and discounted to $50 appears a better deal than a $50 shirt listed at its original price.
Anchoring in European Retail
- Stores in Europe advertise 25% off sales, while inside everything is marked 50% off.
- This makes customers feel they're getting a better deal than advertised, encouraging purchases.
