Course Description

In 1996, an unknown young reporter for the New Yorker magazine, named Malcolm Gladwell, wrote a piece about “The Science of Shopping.” His deep dive into the design of retail spaces, the behavior of crowds, and our dependence on “Market Mavens” were so intriguing that one of his interview subjects (Paco Underhill) soon wrote his book on the same subject.

Now that a huge proportion of our purchasing has shifted to the online marketplace, retailers have only continued to refine their strategies and appeal to our complex desires. We enjoy feelings of convenience, luxury, thrift, efficiency, fashion, savvy, insider knowledge, and more. What can research teach us about how to enjoy the marketplace while making decisions that are truly in our own best interests?

In this CPE Finance Webinar, we’ll look at some of the history and psychology behind consumer buying behavior. We will also learn how to be sophisticated consumers and not myopic consumers.

Learning Objectives

To gain exposure to some of the research on what we buy, where and when, and why.
To analyze “negative-option” sales strategies and why they’re more successful than their opposites.
To explore your feelings about paying for shipping and learn how to be savvy about the real costs of online purchases.
To take away insights for your business model regarding the efficacy of various pricing strategies and payment models.
