https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Feb10_Post.mp4 Marketers are very clever people. At least some of them are. The ones that truly understand human nature. One of my favorite examples is way back in the day, when they had TV commercials. These were the proto-type infomercials. Before the informercials highly choreographed. When they should show some product, explain a few benefits and then you'd "call the number on your screen." The very first time they tried this, they said: "Call now, operators are standing by." Nobody called. The person

https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Nov21Post.mp4 Jigsaw puzzles are fun. When I was a kid, way back in the day, they were fun. They are fun today. Go to any hobby type shop and you'll find tons of jigsaw puzzles. They say humans like puzzles in general. It feels good when we solve them. It feels good when we find two missing pieces that are supposed to be together. This ancient instinct, of solving puzzles, helped us to find food when it wasn't obvious. Stick a bunch of atoms in a container, add a little bit of heat and they'll start hooking up.

So when I saw what I otherwise would have thought of as "normal" beauty, I felt like I was momentary surrounded by super models. Of course, it didn't take long for economics to rear its ugly head. The most ancient law of the planet, and the universe. Th

https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Jun30Post.mp4 In some situations, it's pretty easy to con people. In other situations, it's almost impossible to con people. For example, back when TV's were really big, the manufacturers noticed that the ones that were heavier sold more. So they started purposely making them heavier. People would tend to think it was more valuable if it was heavier. This is a kind of easy con because it's based on our common short memory. If you spend an extra $50 for a TV, thinking it's worth it (when it really isn't) you won't buy another

I watched a fascinating documentary several years ago. About the marketing strategy of a state lottery. Whenever we buy something, we get TWO kinds of value. Direct value, and emotional value. All cars, for example, will serve the purpose of getting you from point A to point B. And all newer cars will have fairly similar safety features. So most of the decision is the KIND of car. Most of which satisfies emotional reasons. On the other hand, when you're at the grocery store choosing what to get for dinner, it's mostly DIRECT value. When you're takin
