The importance of color and imagery in achieving strong sales was discovered by Cheskin's team at the Color Research Institute; through showcasing products to focus groups of different demographics - male, female, old, young - they discovered how preferences differed. This research was borne out in product releases, with those following Cheskin's guidelines achieving better sales and being favored by more customers.</p><p>Cheskin explains that individual people like to assume they are in full control of deciding whether to buy a given thing, arriving at a decision via the use of logic and reasoning. However, the truth is that the subconscious is a powerful force in the human psyche; whether a person's subconscious prefers a given packaging for its coloration or design traits is important - for it is the subconscious that informs, and commonly assumes precedent, over the conscious, thinking part of our brains.</p><p>Revolutionary in his lifetime, the research Cheskin pioneered continues to be used by modern-day marketers and product designers. As this book demonstrates, predicting what a person will buy is both doable and crucial for success in business.</p>
