Decoded (ePub)

In this groundbreaking book Phil Barden reveals what decision
science explains about people's purchase behaviour, and
specifically demonstrates its value to marketing.

He shares the latest research on the motivations behind
consumers' choices and what happens in the human brain as
buyers make their decisions. He deciphers the 'secret
codes' of products, services and brands to explain why people
buy them. And finally he shows how to apply this knowledge in day
to day marketing to great effect by dramatically improving key
factors such as relevance, differentiation and credibility.
