[WVZ Alert] The secret to why we do the things we do...
This week's 'WebVideoZone.com Alert' from the
desk of Joe Chapuis @ www.WebVideoZone.com

=========================================================== Holiday greetings from the WVZ home office... With Christmas only ten days away, and since I haven't even
started shopping yet, that's exactly what's on my mind today: Shopping. Ever wonder why people shop - why they buy the things they buy?
I do - all the time. I'm fascinated by human behavior, and why
people do the things they do (at least that's my excuse for
having majored in psychology). Here's a little secret for you... When it comes down to it, we're all mostly programmed the
same way. For the most part, it can be summed up this way: We do what we do in an effort to change the way we *feel*. And we want to feel good. It's the old pleasure-pain principle. We act out of our
desire (frequently subconscious) to avoid pain and/or our
desire to gain pleasure. What does this have to do with shopping? Everything. No one buys a car, an ipod, a software program. Whether they
know it or not, people buy these things because of the
anticipated good feelings they expect to receive from owning,
using, being *seen* using, or giving what they purchase. Once you understand and apply this truth to your life and
business, everything gets easier: relationships, parenting,
marketing, customer service, product development. Everything. So it also makes sense to remember this truth when you create
videos for your web site. For best results, have your videos
convey all those wonderful feelings that will be had as a
result of doing business with you. Or, be sure to demonstrate how you have the solution, or can
offer relief to some annoying problems and pains. You want to feel good.
I want to feel good.
We all want to feel good. Now I better get shopping, or my wife will be demonstrating
the pleasure-pain principle on me next week. =========================================================== What's new in the Zone... =========================================================== The Big3 is finally here! To go along with The Web Video Player™, as a WVZ member
