#1 New Release The Power of Scarcity
"Weinstein outdid herself, and this book will likely become the one we all quote when talking about scarcity."
The Power of Scarcity: Leveraging Urgency & Demand To Influence Customer Decisions by Mindy Weinstein, PhD, delves into the psychology and effects of scarcity on decision-making and how companies can use it ethically in marketing. The book includes case studies and interviews from well-known brands, including McDonald's, Harry & David and 1-800-FLOWERS, as well as the author's own research and experience as a marketing consultant.
Mindy presents the book in an easily digestible format. In the first section, you will gain an understanding of the concept of scarcity, including its effectiveness, impact on individuals, and circumstances in which it is effective or not. The second section provides guidance on incorporating scarcity in marketing strategies.
The book is valuable for anyone in marketing, sales, business, or academics, as well as consumers who want to understand how scarcity affects them.
