THE SCIENCE OF PERSUASION
Persuasion is key to business and to much more besides. In many walks of life and in many situations, persuading people to do what you want them to do is the key to success.

This showed just how desirable the product was. Potential customers decided that, if so many other people wanted it, they definitely wanted it too.

they were to choose anything at all. Another study
in a supermarket revealed a similar effect of choice.
A particular supermarket displayed either 6 or 24
different kinds of jam. When there were 24 jams to
choose from, 3% of customers went to the display
and bought one of the jams. When there were 6
jams on display, 30% of customers did so. […]
