    Rule of 100” – for price points of $100 or less, a percentage discount will seem larger. For price points over $100, numerical discounts will be more attractive. To illustrate:
    20 percent off a $25 shirt sounds more impressive than saying $5 off.
    A $2,000 laptop for only $1,599 will have more impact than stating it is 20% off.

    Disney uses this principle to increase demand for its back catalog of decades-old movies. It takes animated features like Snow White and Pinocchio off the market until it opens the vaults for a limited time. By creating limited availability and a brief window of opportunity, consumers feel like they have to act now or they won’t have the opportunity to buy in the future. It also creates a reason to buy for those who otherwise would not be in the market.

    Is there some way you can make people who talk about your product look good?
    Is there something about your product or idea which is unquestionably remarkable?
    Can you make people feel like insiders in some way?

    Keep in mind some triggers are better than others. The most effective triggers:
    Arise frequently.
    Get delivered when you’re in a situation where you can act on them and buy.
    Get the context right for the habits and preferences of the local audience.
