Course: Social Proof Strategies

Description

“Social Proof” is one of the many strategies and techniques that marketers rely on to win you over and convince you that their product is worth your hard-earned cash. It taps into a basic human characteristic – the need to be like others. In our desire to conform, we often succumb and buy whatever marketers have to offer.
