1 - What you need to know

• Making choices tires the brain and can make subsequent decision making difficult

• Help guide customers (wizards – not filtering)

• Do not overwhelm

• Remove similar choices



• We anchor on the first thing we see

• Add a new high-end item (which will not sell well)

• Show in decreasing price order

• Sales of reasonable compromise will increase

• Irrational anchors can be put in the “lobby”



• People are tribal

• Some tribes are self-selected

• We care more about people similar to us

• Look the part

• Communicate your values with editorial tone

• Don’t worry about alienating outsiders


Visual Attention Prediction Approaches


Eye Tracking


Mouse Tracking


Software Algorithm



• Visual processing is very powerful & quick

• Draw attention to offers with strong visuals

• Use people deliberately

• Don’t use unnecessary motion or animation

• Carefully consider how you deploy video


Summary

1. Create a small number of clear choices

2. Use a big anchor

3. Be in my cultural tribe

4. Understand the power of visuals
