As Neuromarketing the application of the will neuroeconomic approach in the context of sales economic designated issues. While neuroeconomics tries to understand and explain economic decision-making processes with the help of neuroscientific methods, neuromarketing uses the same methods and the findings from neuroeconomics in order to optimize marketing processes. Neuromarketing is thus an interdisciplinary research area in the field of market research , at the interface between marketing and neuroeconomics.

Assumptions

The core assumption underlying neuromarketing is that economic decisions are largely based on unconscious processes. ... most decisions are very strongly influenced by emotions and are far less rational ... than we think. ... As a result, consumers cannot be aware of all of the motives that influence a purchase decision, and consequently they cannot provide any information about them, even if they are as willing as possible to cooperate. It is hoped that the use of neurocognitive methods will provide more direct access to the human brain than is possible with traditional market research instruments, in order to be able to derive information about these unconscious processes. Neuromarketing should make the processes and conditions in the consumer's organism observable and measurable.

Methods

In neuromarketing, non-invasive neurophysiological examination methods such as electroencephalography (EEG for short) and functional magnetic resonance imaging are used most frequently . The latter is often only suitable for financially strong companies due to the costs associated with a study. Both methods are often combined with other psychological methods such as skin conductivity measurement , eye movement measurement or heart rate measurement . Eye tracking is often used as an economical alternative to these methods .

aims

Neuromarketing in the corporate context has the goal of optimizing marketing measures such as advertising , brand management or product information, but also target group segmentation and advertising placement, both with regard to classic and online sales channels , in order to influence the purchasing decisions of potential customers. It is used more and more in the area of ​​product launches.

criticism

The accuracy and informative value of neuroscientific measurements is controversial. This has led to the fact that the informative value of the methods used in neuromarketing has itself become an object of investigation.
