Bouncing balls and Yes-Set psychology

Sony Bravia (Bouncing Balls) – An example of the Yes-Set psychology

Remember the bouncing balls commercial from Sony (Bravia LCD TV)? Fun wasn’t it? watching all the balls bounce up and down and up and down. Well, subconsciously you would have been nodding your head up and down, and up and down as your eyes follow the balls, very minimally, very sublimely. Then Sony conveniently shows you their TV, and because you already in the “Yes-Set” mindset (from the gentle nodding), there is a very good chance that you will approve of the product and associate with it positively, yes yes yes. ah, the beauty of sublime influence. Bravo!

Well you can do it too, get people into the Yes-set first so they are more likely to agree with what you actually want to say! No, not throw a bunch of balls around, haha. First start by asking a set of very simple questions that gets a Yes answer… Is your name xxxx? Yes. Are you living in xxxx address? Yes. In xxx city? Yes. O well we have an exciting offer for you… uhm, Yes. ; Sound familiar? … Yes ; p

Online TV more and more popular

20110530_metro_onlinetvkijkensteedspopulairder

“Watching TV online (Catchup TV) is getting more and more popular, especially among the younger generation. From the age group 13- to 19-year olds, 36% watched a (Catchup) TV program online at least once a month, according to figures from Stichting KijkOnderzoek (organisation for viewership research)”

Saw this article in the Metro newspaper (Netherlands) a couple of days ago, just confirming a trend that’s been clearly visible already. Well my question is… so there’s this trend to watch TV on the internet, and then there’s this other trend to have TV with internet, does that mean trend + trend = I will be watching TV on the internet on a TV with internet? Food for thought, let me pause my internet TV and get a pizza.
