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 behavior, design persuasive campaigns, and make decisions 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 maps 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 the Rule of 100 to choose between percentage and dollar discounts, and add social proof near the CTA to reduce hesitation. ## Quick Start Ask the agent which psychological principles apply to your marketing challenge, for example: "What mental models should I use to reduce churn in my SaaS 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 tier first, use charm pricing or round pricing based on positioning, and follow the Rule of 100 for discount framing. Add social proof near pricing and pre-select a recommended plan using the default effect.

What psychological principles improve marketing copy?

Key principles for copy include social proof, reciprocity, loss aversion, anchoring, and scarcity. Frame benefits around what customers lose by not acting, show customer counts and testimonials, and give value before asking for anything.

How can I use scarcity ethically in SaaS marketing?

Ethical scarcity uses real constraints like limited beta spots, genuine early-bird deadlines, or cohort-based launches. Avoid fake countdown timers and artificial limits, which erode trust when customers discover the manipulation.

Which mental models help with user onboarding and activation?

Use the Goal-Gradient Effect with progress indicators, Hick's Law to reduce choices, the IKEA Effect by letting users build something, and the Zeigarnik Effect by highlighting incomplete tasks. Small commitments first leverage consistency bias.

When should I use this skill instead of the cro or copywriting skills?

Use this skill to understand which psychological principles apply and why people behave a certain way. Use cro for page-level optimization execution, copywriting for writing the actual copy, and ab-testing for designing experiments.
