What is the &#8220;everybody knows&#8221; principle?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Law of Perception states that your most potent weapon in marketing is not the quality of your product, but rather the public\u2019s perception of your product. Your marketing will only be successful if consumers believe that your product is the best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep reading for more information about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/law-of-perspective\/\">the Law of Perspective<\/a> and the Law of the Mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Law of Pe<\/strong>rception<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the battle for prospective customers\u2019 minds, you must fight not only to be <em>first<\/em> in mind but also <em>best<\/em> in mind. Contrary to popular belief, the Law of Perception says that <strong>your most potent weapon in marketing is not the quality of your product, but rather the public\u2019s perception of your product. <\/strong>Simply put, perception is reality: No matter what research and performance tests reveal, your marketing will only be successful if consumers believe that your product is the best. Have you ever tried to get someone to change her mind about something she was absolutely convinced was true? You can throw every fact at the person and, still, if someone is convinced that something is true, then it is\u2014at least, it\u2019s true in her mind, and that\u2019s all that matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Perception Trumps Quality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These are just two examples that illustrate how perception trumps product quality:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Japanese carmakers sell Honda, Toyota, and Nissan in both Japan and the United States. Given that the quality, design, and power of the cars are identical in both countries, and the prices are nearly the same, the best-selling car should be the same in both places. However, while Honda trails behind Toyota and Nissan in Japan, it sells far more cars in the U.S. Honda is considered a quality car company in the U.S., but Japanese customers perceive Honda primarily as a motorcycle manufacturer, and they don\u2019t perceive a motorcycle company to be a source for high-quality cars.<\/li><li>When the Coca-Cola Company introduced New Coke, it conducted a taste test among 200,000 people that revealed that New Coke had the best taste, followed by Pepsi, followed by Coca-Cola Classic. However, the sales were reversed: Coca-Cola Classic had the highest sales, followed by Pepsi, with New Coke last. <strong>If product quality truly determined marketing success, the sales should correlate with the taste test data.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>This isn\u2019t just true in marketing\u2014in all areas of life, people assume that their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/perceiving-reality\/\">perception of reality<\/a> is the truth. In fact, there is no objective truth; the only truths are those that people perceive. People think that reality exists <em>outside <\/em>their minds, but the only reality is the one they create <em>within <\/em>their minds. Your prospective customers have their own truths, and you\u2019ll be hard pressed to sway them with facts about how your product is better than your competitor\u2019s. Instead, build your marketing plan around the way people form perceptions. <strong>Marketing manipulates people\u2019s perceptions and, thus, their realities.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People\u2019s <em>individual <\/em>perceptions are also influenced by <em>other people\u2019s <\/em>perceptions. This is the \u201ceverybody knows\u201d principle\u2014as in, everybody knows that Japanese cars are higher quality than American-made cars. <strong>Consumers often base their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/buying-decision\/\">buying decisions<\/a> on common knowledge and hearsay, even if they haven\u2019t had any personal experience with the product. <\/strong>Furthermore, the \u201ceverybody knows\u201d principle is even stronger than firsthand experience. In other words, shoppers who have used a product interpret their experiences to align with what \u201ceverybody knows.\u201d For example, since Japanese cars are better quality, if you had a reliable American car, it must have been purely good luck.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Law of the Mind<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Law #1 states that you need to the first <em>in the marketplace<\/em>, Law #3 amends that principle: <strong>Above all, you need to be first <\/strong><strong><em>in consumers\u2019 minds<\/em><\/strong><strong>\u2014when consumers think of the product you sell, they should immediately think of your brand. <\/strong>Being first in the market merely gives you a head start to get into the public\u2019s mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although being the first entrant in a market gives you the opportunity to be first in people\u2019s minds, it also carries responsibility to convince people that they need this product to begin with. You can have a revolutionary product, but it\u2019s not worth much if you can\u2019t convince anyone to buy it. There are examples throughout history of companies that were first to market with a product but failed to establish a need for it:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Duryea Motor Wagon Company manufactured the first gas-powered car, but the credit typically goes to Ford, who followed closely after.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Hurley Electric Laundry Equipment Company produced the first automatic washing machines, followed by Barlow &amp; Seeling Manufacturing, which later became Speed Queen. While Hurley no longer exists, Speed Queen is now the world leader for industrial washing machines.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why is perception more important than quality when it comes to marketing?
