Keynote: The Neuroscience of effort – Why customers love it easy

In today’s world, where technology puts everything at our fingertips, we’ve grown to dislike making any effort to get what we want. We now expect companies to make interactions easy and seamless, penalising those that fall short. This demand for a smooth, round-the-clock experience is especially strong among younger generations. Not long ago, businesses believed that impressing customers would earn them lasting loyalty. But those days are over. With an abundance of competitive options and the ease of finding alternatives online, customers are more empowered and have greater bargaining power. As a result, they have less patience for companies that don’t meet their expectations and are quick to abandon those that make things difficult.

In this talk, we’ll delve into these trends from a neuroscience perspective, examining how emotions and the effort required by customers influence their expectations and experiences.

  • Understand the role that emotions and habits play in shaping consumer
  • behaviour
  • Explore the implicit drivers of customer engagement
  • Assess the impact of effort on the overall consumer experience.
