Social Networking and Psychology

I stumbled upon a great Infographic in my newsfeed today. Just a snippet from the Digital Buzz Blog:

  • Social Proof: 81% of customers reach out to friends and family members on social networking sites for advice before purchasing products
  • Authority: 77% of online shoppers use reviews to make purchase decisions
  • Scarcity: 77% of people like getting exclusive offers that they can redeem via Facebook. We assign more value to products that are less available
  • Like: 50% of shoppers have made a purchase based on the recommendation of the people they follow(and like) on social networks. We follow those we like and do the things they do
  • Consistency: Purchases made from the brands we trust reinforce our future shopping patterns
  • Reciprocity: We have an innate desire to repay favors in order to maintain social fairness, whether those favors are invited or not.
