Why Is Facebook Blue? The Science Behind Colors In Marketing

Why Is Facebook Blue? The Science Behind Colors In Marketing | ESP Business English | Scoop.it

There are some amazing examples of how colors actually affect our purchasing decisions. After all, sight is the strongest developed sense in most human beings. It’s only natural that 90% of an assessment for trying out a product is made by color alone.

 

So how do colors really affect us, and what is the science of colors in marketing, really? As we strive to make improvements to online products, studying this phenomenon is key. Find some of the latest, most interesting research on the subject at the article link...

I remember the first marketing piece I did and we discussed the reasoning on specific colors and how the mind responds. That was 25 years ago and I was so intrigued. Great post.

Electronic Word-of-Mouth Impacts on Consumer Behavior: Exploratory and Experimental Studies

Electronic Word-of-Mouth Impacts on Consumer Behavior: Exploratory and Experimental Studies | ESP Business English | Scoop.it

ABSTRACT

Due to the growth of the Internet as a social media and channel of communication among consumers, electronic word of mouth (eWOM) has gained strength and attention from marketing researchers. This article aims to verify if eWOM affects consumer behavior and the possibility companies may have of managing eWOM by actively responding to comments posted by consumers. An exploratory and experimental study showed that exposure to comment (both negative and positive) impacts brand image. Negative-feedback management reduces the impact on brand image but did not change the impact on purchase intention.

Can Japan win the war against deflation?

Can Japan win the war against deflation? | ESP Business English | Scoop.it
The stakes are high from the Bank of Japan's unprecedented actions. If it works to end Japan's deflation, other nations and central banks will certainly be watching.

Geoff Riley's curator insight, April 25, 5:56 PM

Excellent piece from Linda Yueh on the challenges facing the Japanese authorities as they try once more to lift Japan out of persistent slow growth and deflationary pressures. Abenomics is headline news but will their strategy of a huge expansion of the monetary base, a higher inflation target and attempts to drive down the Yen work? What are the risks? How will other countries be affected?

Why Steve Jobs Couldn't Find a Job Today

Why Steve Jobs Couldn't Find a Job Today | ESP Business English | Scoop.it
There's lots of talk about innovation, but little innovation. Unfortunately we keep hiring the wrong kinds of leaders to implement innovation, or create growth.

Via Ana Cristina Pratas
Ana Cristina Pratas's curator insight, April 26, 7:36 AM

Unfortunately, however, we keep hiring for the last economy.  While we “get” the need for innovation, we don’t seem to understand much about how to “do it.” The problem starts with how Boards of Directors (and management teams) select – incorrectly, it appears – our business leaders.  Still thinking like out-of-date industrialists, Scientific American offers us a podcast on how “Creativity Can Lesson a Leader’s Image.”  Citing the same study, Knowledge @ Wharton offers us “A Bias Against ‘Quirky’ Why Creative People Can Lose Out on Leadership Positions.” While 1,500 CEOs say that creativity is the single most important quality for success today – and studies bear out the greater success of creative, innovative leaders – the study found that when it came to hiring and promoting practices businesses consistently marked down the creative managers and bypassed them, selecting less creative types!
