Marketing Placebo Effect

The marketing placebo effect is popular among marketers. It is by tricking the consumer to buy products by carving a need in them. It is not just filling the void. It is creating and then filling the void. Almost all the product costs a way lot more than the actual cost. In exchange for the sensational feeling left by the advertising, the consumer feels the same feeling while using it. This is the placebo effect. Although the product is not as good as what we found in the ads, the power of advertising makes it so. The prime example is the coco-cola. Everyone from the creator to the consumer knows that it is a toxic drink, the annual revenue is growing in a rapid manner and they made a 17% increase in the total revenue in YoY from FY20. The marketing placebo effect is, in most cases, good for the company and awful for the customer.

Observation is the key

Too much focused on work or anything is not good at all. Not for both personal and professional. Yet we repeat the same pattern. Insanely focused in a work could bring better results. But these might lead to filter out the things we think is not at all important. But it turns out that is wrong. Often the things we wish could have were the things we merely ignored. Relationship is an example. Relationship with children and spouse often get cold when obsessed with way too much work. It is very much easy to eliminate the non essential and focus on what's important. But as the life progresses, most people realise that is not true. Giving time to nurture the relations are important as much as finishing the task. In the end all that matters is how well the life gets better. Just merely by observing the things that we thought as irrelevant may seems like a great choice to have. You might rethink and crafts the better one.

Surroundings and influence

  Most people who are brilliant enough let themselves to suffer only because oh their lack of courage. They were well equipped and learned, yet they find themselves stumbling upon when faced with an adversity. They weren’t really shy, they are afraid of embarrassment. What would happen if something happens always make them uncomfortable. It is not only the failure that makes them sweat, success too. They don’t know what to do when confronted with their peers, these people sweats a lot. The reason these people fell into these category isn’t their fault. Not technically, but yes they chose it. But by doing a simple analysis we can conclude that the environment that they were in contributed a better part. But these environment doesn’t create itself.

Innovation goes dark

Technology disruption is a topic we often talked about. It is a relevant and an observable phenomenon. The reason most of the organization can’t stand in front of the wave of Disruption is due to their inability to perceive the future. Whenever a person starts a company one of the focus would be at making money. But what decides the existence after a couple of decades is the importance we give it to the monetary value. If it becomes the primary goal, then the company won’t last long. People adopt monetary based values instead of ethical ones. They keeps on expanding the scale horizontally by hiring number of employees and setting up more branches. Where they is to make the service or product better. An organization sustains its customers because of the product they launch. It is the quality that attracts more people and sometimes repellant. Innovation dies when we fail to inspire the employees. They do what the founder say. Founder must be willing to adopt new ways and to lead them ahe...

Beliefs of discount

 Seasons are mostly beneficial to those who are making whole sales. The sales are driven highly with anticipation of belief that people are ready to spend money than before. It is beneficial to both the customer and seller. The main reason is the volume. In normal days, people won’t go shopping vividly and manufactures are less active. We are taught to believe that during season sales companies sell products with more discount. Sometimes with buy one get one offer. No one wants to bet large amount of money during non-seasonal days. We wait for discount to hit thus to save money. And when the discount breaks, huge amount of masses place the order. This is way more than actual sale. Discounts are certain and hence the profit.   On the flipside, companies will profit like hell these days. They employ more workers during this time and install many outlets. They know they can swap money like never before. It is confusing to see who makes real profit. Both sides cannot maintain the...

And the probability of making it to the real world is almost null. These crazy ideas never made the mediocre to astonish. Instead it induced them to criticize and drag it to the ground over time. Yet some ideas turned real and surpassed the resistance . This is not uncommon.   Most of the ideas still gets reverted by mediocre pull. This world would have been a different one if there is no pull. But these pulls are, like some other barriers, meant to cross. Almost everything new has to surpass this resistance. Of it is strong enough, it will break the barrier. The strength of idea is a by product of the source where it born. A rigid determined source can often disrupt the pessimistic ambient field. Many ideas backed by less driven person dies with fear. And couple of years later, someone with powerful mindset...

Price movement and news

 Demand can be very well related to the need in the market. When something of nominal value gets high in demand, it usually gets attention. So, when the attention rises it draws masses towards. This time we can observe a price surge. This happens often in tradable assets. Let’s take an example of a particular stock. Usually, the price of the stock rises whenever good news is associated. This good news makes traders bring attention. Risk-takers invest based on this soothing news, which raises the price further. And soon it breaks the resistance and all retail investors start investing making the price move even higher. Even after days of news, it keeps the pace. Here people slowly start to form a consensus within themselves that the price won’t go much higher when reaches this or that point. Which makes people like him exit from there. When masses do this, it slowly reflects in the price movements. This leaves a panic among the general investors and they will start withdrawing mon...
