Decision Making and Neuromarketing Presented by: Megan Norby Warren Mui
What is Neuromarketing? • Neuromarketing: uses functional magnetic resonance imaging, a brain-scanning device that tracks blood flow as we perform mental tasks • Marketers measure consumers’ reactions to movie trailers, choices about automobiles, the appeal of a pretty face, and loyalty to specific brands
Why Expensive Wine Tastes Better • Studied subjects’ brain activity while they consumed wine • Subjects were told how expensive each wine was before consuming it • Subjects reported actually experiencing a tastier wine Marketing can change how people value goods!
Importance of Product Positioning Product Positioning: convincing consumers that a product should be considered within a given category Heuristics: mental rules-of-thumb that lead to a speedy decision • Experiential perspective: consumers buy based on totality of product’s appeal Price is an important part of the experience for a premium product/ luxury brand!
Perception Becomes Reality Red Bull example Self-fulfilling prophecy: we see what we are looking for… …almost as if we are tricking ourselves/ talking ourselves into what the value of a product is
