The Quagmire Marketing Loophole: Keeps Customers Hooked For Years!
Warning: Please use this psychological loophole responsibly, and always focus on the benefit for your customer.
Imagine you bought a ticket to a concert for $100 bucks a couple of weeks ago.
Now, it's the day of the concert.
It's raining like crazy, you're feeling lousy, and the traffic is a total mess.
But what do you do?
If you’re like most people, you still go to that concert.
Sounds nuts, right? But we all do it.
Welcome to the club of the Quagmire Loophole.
It's like a glitch in our brain's decision-making software.
We keep thinking about what we've already put in – time, money, effort – and it messes up our choices.
Here's where it gets interesting.
In marketing, this psychological principle can make customers stick with your products for years.
Get someone to invest just a little in your product –
…a bit of time…
…effort...
…a small purchase…
You can offer things like exclusive early access.
The FastLane Forums uses this loophole in a very ethical way.
If you notice, we all have a "user power rating".
The more value you give, the more your power rating increases.
This is a combination of the Quagmire Loophole and our desire for status in society.
We all crave to improve our status...
And this system tabs into the quagmire loophole.
It makes people want to stick around the community as they grow their status rating.
The higher our rating, the more we feel like sticking around...
...because of the feeling of having invested time and value...
That small investment makes us feel like we put something into it and don't want to let it go.
Once invested, we’re more likely to stick around, purchase things, and even become loyal fans.
Happy Marketing
