The Anchor Effect
You need to be a BFM+ member to save things to your library
People are often anchored to an initial piece of information.
👀
Introduction
People become irrationally anchored to the first piece of information that they see.
i.e., in a sales negotiation, the person who first suggests a price has anchored the barter around that value.
In the above illustration, the second option would likely feel like a better deal, because the 'value' of the shoe has been anchored at $900, despite there being a sale price.
