The Power of Psychological Solutions in Product Development and Marketing
Using a psychological approach in product development and marketing can be more effective than relying solely on logical solutions. By addressing the psychological aspects of a problem, such as perception of time delay and sacrifice, companies can create innovative and impactful solutions that differentiate their products in the market. This approach, as highlighted by an example from Rory Sutherland, CMO of Ogilvy Advertising, emphasizes the importance of finding psychological solutions to problems, rather than relying solely on logical approaches that may have already been explored. This insight is exemplified through various cases, such as adding a dotted map to decrease the pain of waiting for trains, paying models to be hostesses on trips to increase satisfaction, and adding floor-to-ceiling mirrors in elevators to distract passengers from the wait. In marketing, this approach can enable selling products at a premium rather than offering discounts, demonstrating the power of psychological solutions over traditional logical strategies.
