Confirmation Bias<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Consumer Psychology Applied to Marketing<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

People tend to favor information that confirms their existing beliefs. Or in plain english: You\u2019d rather believe and trust messages that align with what you already believe and trust<\/strong>. The same goes for messengERS, by the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rule: Any message or messenger that confirms your existing belief will be regarded as more favorable and trustworthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applied to marketing, this means consumers are more likely to pay attention to and believe marketing messages that align with their pre-existing opinions about a product, service or brand<\/strong>. For example, if your brand is known for safety, any advertisements that reinforce that aspect in the product you\u2019re selling will be perceived as more credible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marketers can also trigger a prospect\u2019s confirmation bias by showcasing positive reviews and testimonials from satisfied customers that are similar to the prospect<\/strong>. Because if the messenger is \u201cjust like them\u201d, people will likely experience the same result, right?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
