Nevertheless, it seems to be a sticking point for users.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>A potential bias at play causing users to exit is the <em>negativity bias<\/em>. This bias tells us that things of a negative nature have a greater impact than neutral or positive things.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Instead of removing the negative reviews we are going to maintain the brands openness to feedback and leave them onsite. Nevertheless, we still want to reduce exit rate so we are going to test a counteracting bias, the <em>visual depiction effect<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>The visual depiction bias states that people are more inclined to want to buy a product when it is shown in a way which helps them to visualise themselves using it. So in our product images we will now add in a fork (this study was actually conducted! <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aradhnakrishna.com\/uploads\/4\/7\/8\/8\/4788965\/the_power_of_sensory_marketing_in_advertising.pdf\">Check it out<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>The results from the experiment will determine whether our counteracting bias (visual depiction effect) overcame the current one (negativity bias).<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>So, to conclude&#8230;the behavioral bias framework should be used to understand the gap between your customers&#8217; current behaviors and your intended goal.
