Persuasive Paths 67<br />

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 />

Whichever laptop you choose to list next will automatically look<br />

more affordable.<br />

Framing<br />

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

Framing can also complement anchoring and ordering – if you have<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 />

Context<br />

The design below from Macy’s includes a higher price, but feels like<br />

a good deal thanks to the $75 price anchor.<br />

As Roller explains, this is because decision-making requires the logical<br />

brain and the “gut brain” – but the gut leaves the first and strongest<br />

impression. The gut brain decides, while the logical brain usually<br />

just reviews the decision.
