Recommendation

This fun, useful and occasionally scary book demonstrates that author Martin Lindstrom is both well-versed in marketing practices and deeply engaged in academic research into neuromarketing. As a result, he can discuss findings from the latest studies involving brain scans, measured attention and recall – and explain how they relate to sales and purchases. This book could be twice as long and still be hypnotic; its main weakness is that Lindstrom breezes through study after fascinating study, giving each one only a few pages. However, that said, those interested in rationality, free will or communication will find much of interest here. getAbstract recommends it to them and, of course, to anyone making sales and marketing decisions.

Take-Aways

  • Subconscious, emotional, irrational associations drive people’s choices – including purchase decisions.
  • In neuromarketing, researchers measure brain activity to gauge these associations.
  • This offers fresh information about the mental processes that precede decisions. These insights can lead to powerful marketing – some say too powerful.
