Marketing inside your brain By Dr. Alla Ignashchenkova, Neuroscience and behavioral sciences, University of Tuebingen, Germany

ow will you be the market leader? What is the best marketing and advertising strategy to convince your customer that your product is the best and your service is outstanding? When aiming a successful business we rely on available knowledge of what our customers need, want and expect from our product. How do we know what our customers want? Do customers themselves know what they really want? Do we understand how the decision of choosing one service over another works? Where is this bell inside customers’ head that rings to prompt them to buy our product and how do we make that bell ring? We have to look inside our customers’ brains and establish direct communication with this unique powerful machine that defines who we are and what we do. Neuroscience is a discipline that aims to understand how our brain is operating. Decoding the ongoing processes of perception, attention and decision-making inside our brain is a task that neuroscience is dealing with and in the past
50 years we progressed a lot in understanding mechanisms of brain interaction with the environment. These processes are mainly happening very quickly and often without our awareness. A decision to choose this or that product is made by our brain automatically and only after the process is completed we logically justify our choice. Indeed, our brain is always justifying the decision made and rewarding itself for this decision. This is our nature. An important question that any businessman should ask himself is how to influence these automatic processes inside the brain. Direct communication with this automatic system will lead your customer to choose you and only you over others. If you learn what neuroscience discovered about perception, attention and decision-making you will have a unique tool to master your business-customer interaction. Any message that you deliver is reaching our brain through the sensory organs – eyes, ears, nose, skin and taste. However not all information will be perceived and processed by the brain. Only the message that is
