Neuromarketing: Understanding the “Buy Buttons” in Your Customer’s Brain

Neuromarketing presents the basic principles for providing persuasive marketing materials and messages to consumers by appealing to the brain through neuromarketing principles. There are some good examples illustrated through simple steps, such as “grabbers” used to reach the old brain: mini-dramas, wordplays, rhetorical questions, and props and stories, with examples of each and illustrations. As a marketer or advertiser, this book provides an easy, understandable read.

Enthusiasts of neuropsychology and neuromarketing will find this book to be slim on facts and, in some cases, misleading. The authors cite studies and research but provide no references. While the book is marketed as “the only book to combine the latest brain research with cutting-edge sales, marketing and communication techniques,” it is hardly a scientific work. They just argue that people make emotional decisions which they later rationalize, which is not really cutting edge. Their construct of appealing to the old brain is dubious in scientific terms. There is a short list of additional resources (books) at the end, but no bibliography or even list of references for their research findings which they claim the book to be based upon. For more thorough applications of neuromarketing research we recommend The Buying Brain.
