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 conversion problems, design persuasive campaigns, and make pricing decisions grounded in behavioral science rather than intuition. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Mental Model Library: Covers foundational thinking models (First Principles, Inversion, Pareto), buyer psychology (Anchoring, Social Proof, Loss Aversion), persuasion frameworks (Reciprocity, Scarcity, Commitment), pricing psychology (Charm Pricing, Rule of 100), and growth models (Flywheel, Network Effects). - Quick Reference Mapping: A challenge-to-model table maps common problems like low conversions, price objections, and churn 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 attractive, and add social proof near the call to action. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to apply psychological principles to improve conversions on your pricing page or landing page.

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 tier framing to make your target plan look reasonable, and add social proof near the call to action. Charm pricing and the Rule of 100 guide how you display discounts.

What psychological principles work best for marketing copywriting?▼

Social proof, reciprocity, loss aversion, and scarcity are the most copy-relevant models. Frame benefits around what customers lose by not acting, show customer counts and testimonials, and give value before asking for anything.

How is scarcity used ethically in SaaS marketing?▼

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

Why do free trials convert better than freemium for some products?▼

Trials leverage loss aversion and the endowment effect: users feel ownership and fear losing access when the trial ends. Freemium works better for products with network effects, while trials suit products with high activation effort.

When should I use a different skill instead of marketing psychology?▼

Use the cro skill for page-level conversion optimization, the copywriting skill for writing actual copy, and the ab-testing skill for designing experiments. This skill explains the underlying psychology; those skills handle execution.
