The Halo Effect says that a single feature of a person, product, or business - like good looks or beautiful design - can be so appealing that it distracts us from any flaws that might exist. In the case of people, studies have shown that thinking someone is attractive can make you believe that they’re more honest, more intelligent, and more kind. Even just being taller than average can make people think you’re more skilled than you are. This is all very interesting, but it also turns out that the Halo Effect has a huge impact on marketing and business…That’s why, in this episode we’re examining the Halo Effect - and how brands like Apple, Amazon, and Patagonia use it to make customers fall in love with their brands, and you can too. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Please take 12 seconds to rate and review the podcast because it helps us find new listeners ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐COACHING✅ To learn more about working one-on-one with Jen and book your free Connection Call, visit https://www.choicehacking.com/coaching-inviteThis month I have 3 spots available - first come, first serve.FREE RESOURCES✅ Get a free digital copy of my bestselling book for a limited time, Choice Hacking: How to use psychology and behavioral science to create an experience that sings.
