This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit cocomocoe.substack.com Hi, coconuts! Today’s episode of “Ahead of the Curve with Coco Mocoe” is all about what I like to call “The Paradox of Choice”. This is the idea that customers are more likely to make a purchase of a product when they are presented with less variations of said product. This episode was inspired by the marketing podcast, “Nudge”, and their episode titiled: “Why too much choice is a bad thing”. Listen to that episode here and show them some love: We will be discussing the power of repetition when it comes to brands like In-N-Out, Head & Shoulders, McDonalds and more. Then for the paid portion of the podcast, we will be applying these findings to the growth trajectory of some of the most viral creators on TikTok & one up-and-coming music artist.
