PSYCHOLOGICAL MARKETING TECHNIQUE - 4/10 ๐ŸงŠImagine you're at an ice cream shop in India. You see two flavors: ๐Ÿซchocolate for โ‚น100 and vanilla for โ‚น150. Then they add a third optionโ€”a "mystery flavor" that's not as good as vanilla and costs โ‚น200. Suddenly, vanilla starts to look like the best deal๐Ÿช„, even though you hadn't planned on spending more! This trick is called the decoy effect. โ€ข Here's another everyday example: Suppose you're buying a ๐Ÿ“ฑsmartphone. You might have a basic model for โ‚น15,000 and a premium model for โ‚น25,000. Then they introduce a mid-tier phone for โ‚น22,000 that doesnโ€™t offer much more than the basic one. Suddenly, the premium phone seems like a great bargain because it offers extra features for just a little more than the mid-tier option.๐Ÿคฉ ๐ŸชคIt's like when your friend convinces you to order the extra cheesy pizza slice that costs just a bit more than the regular slice. You end up thinking, "More cheese means more yum!" even though you weren't planning on spending extra. In short, the decoy effect is a clever marketing trick where a third, less attractive option is added to make one of the other choices seem like a much better deal.๐Ÿฅ‚ It's like adding a not-so-great option to your menu so that the one you really want suddenly looks like the best idea ever. โš Cautionโš  ๐Ÿ‘› Your wallet might feel less heavy than before, after getting trapped in the decoy effect.
