The Psychology of Consumer Manipulation

You are being manipulated by a calculated system every time you open your wallet. It starts with pricing,

which isn't just a number, it is a psychological signal of value. That is why luxury

brands charge way more just to prove they are better. Then they hit you with the Push and

Pull strategy. They push products into stores so they are impossible to miss,

while pulling you in with influencers and ads that make you feel like you need it.

It is all designed to move you down a funnel, turning you from a stranger into

a loyal advocate who does their marketing for them for free.
