Persuasion theory...Life = making choices
More information = more difficult to choose
More choices available = more difficult to choose
People have developed semi-automatic reactions to help make choices

Leveraging persuasion...Use reciprocity to give things away for free and people will return
People are inclined to return favors you have done for them
Chances are you’re already giving something away for free
21
![Page 22: Business Social Media - Central CT SIM Meeting](https://reader034.vdocuments.pub/reader034/viewer/2022051819/54c82deb4a7959f23d8b45ef/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
“Freemium” strategies...Free newsletters and RSS Feeds
Free tips
Free webinars/podcast
Free trial software
Goal: Ask users/visitors to promote your content in return for what they get
22
![Page 23: Business Social Media - Central CT SIM Meeting](https://reader034.vdocuments.pub/reader034/viewer/2022051819/54c82deb4a7959f23d8b45ef/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The sub-conscious mind... When something is scarce, people automatically perceive it to be more valuable
Scarcity in time is extremely effective (example: limited access to content, previews, etc.)
Scarcity in amount is equally effective in gaining users/visitors attention

Designing for trust... Authority figures can trigger behaviors... Establishing authority makes it easy for people to choose you, your product or service offering over the next distraction
Social Proof “People are like sheep!”. The more information we put in front of our users/visitors, the more they rely on other people’s choices to make their own

Changing behaviors...Commitment/Consistency: the moment people decide on something, they start convincing themselves it’s the right choice
Goal: Leveraging all of these elements as part of a Persuasive Architecture enables smart companies to rationalize social media initiatives

Key Points...
28
This is the age of Person-to-Person-to-Person communication.
Provides a B-to-C and B-to-B framework.
Many social networks have an underlying design based on persuasive influence markers like reciprocity, likability and social proof.
Social networks are redefining how people gain answers to questions - and accessing news & information.

You’ll Need to Dig Deeper...Business strategies need to go beyond ‘parity plays’
Quantify successes by usability testing (leverage new applications in the cloud like Verifyapp.com)
ROI will come from data-mining and behavioral modeling
Treat persuasive architecture just like technical architecture (hire a Persuasion Architect or a User Experience Strategist)
