How might a company in a traditional sector like retail apply the persuasion models discussed in Pre-suasion?

A retail company can apply the persuasion models discussed in Pre-suasion by focusing on creating a sense of 'unfinished' or 'open' scenarios for their customers. This can be done by presenting dilemmas or problems that the company's products or services can solve. This strategy can help to capture the attention of customers and make them more likely to purchase. Additionally, the company can use these models to create a sense of urgency or need for closure, which can further drive sales.

Question was asked on:

People crave cognitive closure when presented with a dilemma, so learn how to use that as an advantage over any competitors.
