Why we buy – The Science of Shopping – Paco Underhill

Why-we-buy

What’s the big idea?

“More than 60% of what clients buy was initially not on their list.” However interesting and useful the actual product is, that alone is not enough of a reason to put it on the market.

For decades Paco Underhill has been researching what drives consumers to purchase. In his research he observes how clients behave in different situations and retail environments. Based on years of acquired data he demonstrates how that extra bit of attention towards the perspective of the client has a huge impact of sales.

Why should you read it?
