10 tricks that trigger you to spend money.

// Thread

No currency ($) signs.

You’ll notice it in restaurant menus.

And even retail shops.

You spend more when you don’t see the dollar sign.

It reduces the “pain of paying”.
Supersized Carts.

Shoppers don’t like to push around empty carts.

Larger carts lead to spending 40% more.

If you want to avoid overspending…

Consider grabbing a basket or a smaller cart.
Subscription Services.

Amazon Prime.. Netflix…

How many subscriptions do you have and don’t use?

They call it “inertia”…

Once you subscribe, it’s a battle to get out.
Nostalgia.

Old games… Collectible cards…

Memories make shoppers happy.

This blast of emotion leads to a buy.

Notice it when they release a “throwback” product.
Flexible Return Policies.

“Free return/exchange within 90 days”

Customers return purchases with these policies.

But you also spend more when knowing it can be returned.

And interestingly, it also leads to less returns.
Expensive products at eye-level.

The cheaper brands are displayed closer to the floor.

Suppliers pay more for good product placement in stores.

They bet on you being lazy to look down.

Unless it’s flashy cereal boxes… Usually lower height.

For your kids to see.
Carefully chosen colors.

Colors affect your emotions differently.

Yellow: Grabs attention
Red: Creates urgency/triggers hunger
Blue: Builds trust/security
Green: Relaxes
Orange: Encourages decisions
Pink: Presents romance
Black: Suggests luxury
Purple: Soothes and calms
Loyalty Programs

The more you buy….

The more you get rewarded with discounts.

It’s exactly what they want you to do.

Pursue the next reward! Now buy more!
Deals Requiring Multiples: “3 for $10”

This deal will make you buy several items.

Sometimes even more than you need.

Just to maximize the “deal”.

Ever bought 12 yogurts even when you don’t want all?

Whether it’s shops or restaurants.

Music will trigger your emotions.

In restaurants, music leads to spending 10% more.

महाभारत की कहानी कौन नहीं जानता।लेकिन क्या आपको पता है कि महाभारत के ज्यादातर पात्र किसी न किसी श्राप में फंसे थे।अगर ये श्राप न होते तो कदाचित महाभारत की कहानी कुछ और होती।हिन्दु पौराणिक ग्रंथों में विभिन्न श्रापों का वर्णन मिलता है व हर श्राप के पीछे कोई कहानी अवश्य होती है।


आइए आज जानते हैं महाभारत कथा में वर्णित कुछ श्रापों के बारे में।

..स्वयं अपनी रानियों कुंती व माद्री के साथ वन चले गए।पांडवों का जन्म भी कुंती को ऋषि दुर्वासा द्वारा दिए गए मंत्र से हुआ था जिसमे किसी भी देव का स्मरण कर उस देव से कुंती,पुत्र प्राप्त कर सकती थी।एक बार माद्री पे मोहित हो जब पांडु ने उसे स्पर्श किया,उसी क्षण पांडु की मृत्यु होगयी।


2) उर्वशी का अर्जुन को श्राप

महाभारत युद्ध से पहले जब अर्जुन दिव्यास्त्र प्राप्त करने स्वर्ग गए तो वहां उर्वशी नाम की अप्सरा उन पर मोहित हो गयी। अर्जुन ने जब उन्हें अपनी माता के समान बताया तो यह सुनकर उर्वशी क्रोधित हो गयी और अर्जुन को श्राप दे डाला कि तुम नपुंसक की भांति...
This is NONSENSE. The people who take photos with their books on instagram are known to be voracious readers who graciously take time to review books and recommend them to their followers. Part of their medium is to take elaborate, beautiful photos of books. Die mad, Guardian.
