Podcast: Does the “B-Spot” (Buy Button) Really Exist?

The Theme Zoom podcast this week could definitely be considered “controversial.” During this (Fly-on-the-Wall) private conversation between Sue Bell and Russell Wright, you will get answers to many questions about online human behaviors and what causes people to make the online choices that they do.

Prompted by some new reading material, we explore how neuromarketing specifics can be mapped into different configurations within a web presence, where the size of the web presence is directly dependent on the size of the market.  We will also touch on how implementing the communication channels represented on the social pyramid and direct marketing pyramid are enhanced by neuromarketing triggers.

Additionally, we talk about how today’s consumer is starting to become wary of these triggers and effects you might want to consider when planning your marketing strategy.
