What is Intuitive Marketing?
2014 © Intuitive Consumer Insights LLC. All Rights Reserved.
• The key features of Persuasive Marketing
– Demanding people’s attention
– Asking them to engage in conscious thinking
– in order to come to a conscious conclusion
– that will later guide their conscious behavior
2014 © Intuitive Consumer Insights LLC. All Rights Reserved.
• These are all System 2 processes
• Intuitive Marketing does not try to persuade
– It builds emotional connections through repetition
– It creates learned associations in the minds of
consumers
– It relies on automatic, nonconscious, internal
processes to do the work of converting those
associations into behavior
– It rewards attention, but does not demand it

7 Practical Tips for Marketers
2014 © Intuitive Consumer Insights LLC. All Rights Reserved.
#1
Learn how and when to modulate
attention – sometimes you want to
wake it up and sometimes you
want to let it sleep

Attention is a
tool in the
marketers
toolkit,
not a goal

Leon Levinstein, “Street Scene: Man Glancing at Woman in Tee Shirt and Shorts,” 1970s
#2
Recognize that novelty is a
liability – we’re naturally curious
and drawn to it, but we don’t
quite trust it

From Margaret M. Bradley. "Natural selective attention: Orienting and emotion."
Psychophysiology 46.1 (2009): 1-11.
#3
Appreciate the power of
processing fluency – easy processing
is often mistaken for familiarity,
liking, beauty, truth and low risk

#4
Don’t rely on people’s stated
preferences – for the most part, we
don’t know what we’re going to do
until after we’ve done it

“Your
preference is a
product of your
behaviour and
not the origin
of it.”

− Rory Sutherland Executive Creative Director and Vice-Chairman, OgilvyOne
#5
Don’t forget that much consumer
behavior is determined by
fast, automatic, and inaccessible
“approach-avoidance”
emotional responses

#6
Accept that overt persuasion is not
the best way to change behavior
or improve business results

Long-term business benefits are
more likely to accrue from
nonpersuasive emotional messaging

#7
Recognize that
nonconscious contextual cues
are usually more important than
deliberative cost-benefit calculations
in driving consumer choice

If we only use nonconscious
measures to answer traditional
Persuasive Marketing questions, like:
• Are we maximizing attention?
• Do people understand our message?
• Are we persuading them?
• Will they remember our message?

place with a different shovel

IMPROVED!

When marketers begin to ask new
questions, they will begin
to find new answers
• What marketing elements other than message can we use to
improve effectiveness?
• How can we increase and leverage familiarity?
• Are we maximizing processing fluency?
• Do we need to change the approach-avoidance reactions we are
triggering?
• What levers do we have to influence consumers without overt
persuasion?
• Are we effectively using decision heuristics to influence choice?
