Attention and pain greatly influence customers’ willingness to pay. Nobody likes to wait. If customers search for products on an online store and receive instant results, they value it. But if they have to wait, it’s a different story. Showing a blank white screen causes customers to leave the site. However, if an animated circle indicates the connection is active, customers are more likely to wait. Additionally, displaying the search process, such as showing that results are being generated, helps customers wait more patiently. In fact, customers often wait with anticipation. Transparency helps ensure that customer interest remains positive and doesn’t turn into frustration. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
A painting embodies both media and authority. The mural in the medieval cathedral catered to the illiterate, who could not read the Bible. Access to written information was granted solely to priests, representing a form of power. The Reformation diminished this authority. New forms of media transform power dynamics, either generating or redistributing power. This influence shapes our everyday experiences. Writing, photography, and graphics continue to affect power structures. To understand the shifts in power, you must engage in a blend of art and business. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
