In the 1970s Herta Herzog, an Austrian psychologist, was working for the Jack Tinker advertising agency in New York. One of their clients was Alka-Seltzer, which manufactured a product for acid indigestion, sour stomach and headaches. At that time the advertising for the product showed a hand dropping one of the tablets into a glass of water. Herzog made a suggestion. She said that the hand in the photograph should drop two tablets into the glass. The advertising was changed and sales of Alka-Seltzer doubled. After the success of the campaign, other manufacturers began to use similar ideas to boost sales.
Text 2. Buying Without Shops
In 1891, when American farmers were complaining about high prices in shops in the countryside, Richard Sears had an idea. Sears was an agent of a railway company and at that time he was selling watches with his partner Alvah Roebuck, a watchmaker. His idea was to use the new national railway system and post office to create a new way of selling: mail order. Sears bought in bulk and so kept prices low. He was also good at attracting customers with advertising. By 1895 the Sears catalogue had 532 pages. The company was expanding fast, so it moved to a huge building in Chicago. Finally the company developed the first automated warehouse. This improved the capacity of the business by 1,000 percent.
