• Felipe Rehwinkel, marketing manager for Bosch and Siemens Home Appliance.

Luca Florentino reported about a test executed with BrainSign in which has been measured the gaze direction and the emotional response of “buyers”, in order to evaluate the effectiveness of a stand expositor for a BOSH washing machine, manufactured by Ottosunove for Bosch Elettrodomestici.

From the discussions in the seminar and the results of the research some interesting evidences to take away:

• The unconscious and emotional mechanisms cause between 50% and 95% of human choices;
• There is a discrepancy between the statements of buyers gathered in the survey conducted at the end of the purchase experience and the emotional response detected during the test;
• A study by Popai USA has shown that consumers during the purchase have an emotional activation before to buy already in 3-4 steps from the shelf where the product is placed.
