SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Marketers often guess at why customers buy or fail to convert. This Skill provides a structured taxonomy of psychological principles and mental models so you can diagnose marketing challenges and design campaigns grounded in behavioral science rather than intuition. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Mental Model Library: Covers foundational thinking models (First Principles, Inversion, Pareto Principle), buyer psychology (Loss Aversion, Social Proof, Anchoring), persuasion techniques, pricing psychology, and growth models, each with a concrete marketing application. - Quick Reference Mapping: A challenge-to-model table links common problems like low conversions, price objections, churn, and decision paralysis to the relevant psychological principles. - Use Case: When redesigning a pricing page, apply anchoring by showing the highest tier first, use Good-Better-Best framing to make the middle tier the obvious choice, and add social proof near the call to action. ## Quick Start Ask the AI which psychological principles apply to your marketing challenge, such as improving conversions on a pricing page or designing an onboarding flow.

Frequently Asked Questions about marketing-psychology

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I use psychology to increase conversions on a pricing page?▼

Apply anchoring by showing the highest price first, use Good-Better-Best framing so the middle tier looks reasonable, and add social proof near the CTA. Charm pricing and the Rule of 100 guide how you display discounts.

What psychological principles improve marketing copy?▼

Key principles for copy include social proof, reciprocity, loss aversion, anchoring, and scarcity. Each maps to a copy element: headlines benefit from framing effects, body copy from authority and liking, and CTAs from urgency and loss aversion.

How can scarcity be used ethically in SaaS marketing?▼

Ethical scarcity relies on real constraints such as limited beta spots, early-bird pricing with genuine deadlines, or cohort-based launches. Avoid manufactured urgency like fake countdown timers or artificial stock limits, which erode trust.

Which mental models help with user onboarding and activation?▼

Onboarding benefits from the Goal-Gradient Effect (progress bars), Hick's Law (fewer choices), the IKEA Effect (let users build something), and the Zeigarnik Effect (incomplete tasks create pull to finish). Small commitments first also build consistency.

When should I use this skill instead of an A/B testing skill?▼

Use this skill to form hypotheses about which psychological principle might influence behavior. For designing and running the actual experiment, defer to an A/B testing skill, which handles test structure, sample sizes, and statistical validity.
