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 problems, explain buyer behavior, and design ethical persuasion tactics grounded in behavioral science. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Mental Model Library: Covers foundational thinking models (First Principles, Inversion, Pareto), buyer psychology (Loss Aversion, Social Proof, Anchoring), persuasion techniques (Reciprocity, Scarcity, Foot-in-the-Door), pricing psychology (Charm Pricing, Rule of 100), and growth models (Flywheel, Network Effects). - Quick Reference Mapping: Matches common challenges like low conversions, price objections, churn, and decision paralysis to the relevant models. - Context-Aware Recommendations: Reads product-marketing-context.md when available to tailor advice to your specific product and audience. - Use Case: When redesigning a pricing page, get specific guidance on anchoring with tier ordering, applying the decoy effect, and framing discounts using the Rule of 100. ## Quick Start Ask which psychological principles apply to your marketing challenge, such as improving conversions on your pricing page or increasing onboarding activation.

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 the decoy effect to make your target tier look best, and apply 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 work best for marketing copywriting?▼

Social proof, reciprocity, loss aversion, and scarcity are the most copy-relevant models. Use social proof in testimonials, loss aversion in CTAs, and the pratfall effect to build trust by admitting a small weakness.

How can I use scarcity in SaaS marketing without being manipulative?▼

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 discovered.

Why do free trials sometimes convert better than freemium?▼

Trials leverage loss aversion and the endowment effect since users fear losing access after experiencing ownership. Freemium works better for products with network effects, while trials suit products with high activation effort.

When should I not use this Skill for a marketing task?▼

For A/B test design and experiment setup, use the ab-test-setup skill instead. This Skill explains the psychology behind hypotheses but does not handle experiment design, sample sizing, or statistical analysis.
