Familiarity breeds liking and trust from "summary" of Magic Words by Jonah Berger

Think about your favorite coffee shop. Why do you keep going back there? It's not just about the coffee - it's the familiarity. You know the barista's name, you know where to find the cream and sugar, you know where to sit to get the best Wi-Fi signal. Familiarity breeds liking and trust. But it's not just about the physical surroundings. The same principle applies to people. The more we interact with someone, the more we come to like and trust them. We feel comfortable with what we know, and we are more likely to give our loyalty to those we are familiar with. This concept is crucial in business and marketing. When customers are familiar with a brand, they are more likely to choose that brand over others. Think about your favorite brand of sneakers or your go-to fast-food restaurant. You keep going back because you know what to expect and you trust the quality. In a noisy world with endless options, familiarity is like a warm blanket on a cold night. It provides comfort and security in a sea of uncertainty. By building familiarity with your customers, you can ensure that they will keep coming back to you, time and time again. So, how can you use this concept to your advantage? Focus on building relationships with your customers. Make an effort to connect with them on a personal level. Show them that you care about their needs and preferences. The more familiar they become with you and your brand, the more likely they are to like and trust you. In the end, it all comes down to one simple truth: familiarity breeds liking and trust. Embrace this concept, and watch as your relationships with your customers grow stronger and more loyal.
