Here’s how big brands hack your brain:

1. Scarcity Effect: “Limited stock!” “Only 2 left!” They create urgency, and we panic buy.
2. The Ritual Factor: Apple’s unboxing experience? It’s intentional. Rituals create emotional attachment.
3. Mere Exposure Effect: The more you see something, the more you like it. That’s why brands bombard you with ads everywhere.
4. Colors = Emotions: Red = urgency (SALE signs). Blue = trust (banks). Green = fresh (Starbucks).
5. Social Proof: Reviews, testimonials, influencer shoutouts because if everyone else loves it, it must be good.
