PSYCHOLOGICAL TRIGGERS
Social Proof: People are influenced by social norms and peer pressure, often making purchases based on what others are doing.
Scarcity: Creating a sense of urgency or limited availability can trigger impulsive buying.
Exclusivity: The idea of being part of a select group or owning something unique can be appealing.
Novelty: Our brains are wired to seek out new experiences, which can drive us to make purchases that offer something new and different.

KEY EMOTIONS INVOLVED
Pleasure: The anticipation of acquiring a desired item or the satisfaction of a good deal can be a powerful motivator.
Fear: Fear of missing out (FOMO) or the fear of not meeting a need can also drive impulsive purchases.
Guilt: Feeling guilty about not buying something or spending beyond one's means can also influence purchasing decisions.
Excitement: Marketers often create a sense of excitement around new releases or products to encourage quick decision-making.
Belonging: The need to belong to a group or community can drive purchases of items that symbolize that affiliation.
SUBCONSCIOUS INFLUENCE
Unconscious Urges: Many purchasing decisions are made subconsciously, driven by emotions rather than conscious thought.
Emotional Connection: Consumers may be drawn to products or brands that evoke strong emotions, like excitement, nostalgia, or a sense of belonging.
Psychological Benefits: Shopping can provide tangible psychological benefits, whether in-store or online, which can influence purchasing decisions.
