What are the 49 Top Marketing Secrets and Psychological Tricks Las Vegas Casinos Use to Lure You In, Get You to Spend More Money Than You Intended, and Have You Feel Good About Doing So?
While the rest of us work our tails off to market our goods and services, Vegas rocks on, making millions and millions of dollars every year. What in the world are they doing that we aren't? How can they make so much money while the rest of us---all good, hard working people---struggle to make a buck? What does Vegas know that you and I don't?
Yes, they have bright lights, glitter, glamour and gold. But come on, it's a desert. It's hot. And dry. And people lose money there. Yet they return again and again. And they leave smiling.
Why?
I'll tell you why. It's because Las Vegas practices some very clever marketing techniques---methods you may never have heard of, thought of, or even ever read about before. Fortunately, I managed to discover the inside secrets of Vegas style marketing this past year.
Vegas has a wealth of marketing techniques (some based on traditional principles with a "Vegas twist") that you can immediately apply to your own business---hypnosis, retail, Web, whatever!
Trick # 47. How "Linking" Can Make You Rich (as an NLP-er you should be very familiar with this anchoring technique)
Casinos make 80% of their revenue from slot machines. But it wasn't always that way. During the Great Depression of the early 1930s, and during the time of prohibition, slot machines were seen as negative. That's when they became known as the "one arm bandits." People were starving. They didn't want to see a machine take anyone's hard earned money. Slots took it hard.
How did slot machine manufacturers get around this negative image? By "linking" their bad boy to something good. One of the first slots to be created with a "link" was one which had a selection of gum you could buy attached to it. In other words, the slot machine was now a vending machine. Stores could stock them without being harassed by the public. People could use them when they bought gum. Better yet, they could just keep buying gum from the side of the slot machine and never ever use the slot itself---until temptation gave in.
Obviously, slot machines are accepted today. But maybe your business needs to "link" itself with another, already accepted product in order to increase your sales. For example, if the latest rage is Harry Potter, if you wrote a column about magic for kids and put it on your Web site, you would draw new traffic with your new link. People who visited your site would associate your business with the good Potter and automatically---unconsciously even---be more inclined to do business with you.
I have a friend who teaches people how to find the love of their life. One bit of advice from him is to take your date to a comedy show (such as a good Vegas act). When your date has a great time, she (or he) will associate good feelings with you. You don't have to do much at all. Sit there. Smile. Look happy. Enjoy the show. And you'll find you have sold your date on you being a real catch. Why? You'll be "linked" to the good feelings generated in the show.
Surely you can see how you could adapt just that one principle to your business.
And just think---there are 48 more as good as that---or better!
As you can easily see from that example, Scott and I did our best to first explain the principle to you, then demonstrate it, and then suggest ways you can use it in your own business. Every principle is like that in the book.
