Have you ever wondered how marketing works? Or what exactly makes you desire to buy something?
Or feel a certain way?
Do you ever feel manipulated?
I know plenty of you have, if not all. I’ve started this email list to send out free tips and encouragement to people dealing with the insane amount of marketing and manipulation strategies being thrown at them every day.
I don’t think I’m overstating things with the insane label. With the smart phone things really spiraled out of control.
I went and got an MBA for marketing and it was alright. The problem is I gradually started to find most of the aggressive tactics going on to be quite repulsive.
Of course, not all marketing is bad or anything like that. I market this email list and everything. Most people understand what I mean when I say it’s the obnoxious and overly persuasive styles that are the problem. And they work pretty well or you wouldn’t see them so much.
But I think what would help is to be more specific in all of this. So I’m going to start going through all of these tactics and strategies, finding examples if I can, and helping you spot them in your own life.
It’s a long list to be honest, and I’m almost certain you’ve seen almost all of them at some point.
Stay tuned and subscribe to the email list!
