Key takeaways
Don't overdo scarcity tactics; customers will feel cheated and lose trust.
Customers are "drunk and in a rush," so simplify product choices and calls to action to reduce analysis paralysis.
Leverage user-generated content (UGC) like photo reviews to build trust and social proof, especially for new customers.
Product reviews impact conversion rates and repeat purchases at every stage of the sales funnel.
The "new normal" means even more online competition; differentiate by optimizing the customer experience with psychological principles.
