The Irrational Consumer
Traditional economics assumes people calculate value rationally. Behavioral economics knows they don't. We use heuristics (mental shortcuts) to judge price quickly.
Key Principles:
- 1Left-Digit EffectBecause we read left-to-right, $29.99 feels closer to $20 than $30. This single penny difference can increase sales volume by over 20%.
- 2Contextual AnchoringA $50 wine bottle looks expensive on a shelf of $10 bottles. It looks cheap on a shelf of $200 bottles. You can control perception by changing the surroundings.
