One of the best ways to use anchoring is with the order you choose<br />
to display your content.<br />
In the above example, putting your most expensive laptop at the top<br />
of a product list is a subtle way of anchoring it in the user’s mind.<br />

more affordable.<br />
Framing<br />
Framing is the language in which an option is presented.<br />

a surcharge for using credit cards, you can “frame” the cash price as<br />
a discount. The credit card price becomes the anchor, and the cash<br />
price seems more attractive.<br />

just reviews the decision.
