Purchase decisions: Do we really make them or are we being manipulated?

Times shown are in GMT (UTC +0) up to the 26th March. For events on or after 27th March times are in BST (UTC +1).

Anglia Ruskin University, East Road, CB1 1PT

This talk on Consumer Psychology will use real world examples to show techniques used by businesses to influence purchase decisions made by consumers. We will look at whether these techniques do indeed change people's purchasing behaviour and how this process happens. The audience will leave with a detailed insight into techniques used to subconsciously make us purchase products and services.
