Foundations in Clinical Psychology
PNMP adapts
methodologies used in clinical psychology and applies them to marketing. PNMP
methodologies view products through the eyes of the customer; enabling companies to create products and marketing programs
that satisfy the criteria customers use to make purchase decisions.
Our methodology
includes a technique which psychologists have used for over fifty years. We have adapted
this technique to understand how customers and prospects make judgments and decisions about concepts, products, advertising
or other marketing elements.
Emotional
Imperative
PNMP
methodology identifies emotions, which are vital to understanding consumer perceptions.
Attitudes and behavior are largely determined by emotion. Researchers
have found that decisions made solely on the basis of rational thinking are exceptions rather than the rule. Neuroscientists tell us that emotions dominate our brain’s processes.
Predictive
Power
Consumers
don't have a simple Pavlovian response to media, messages or products; they make judgments about those elements, interpreting
how they fit into their lives.
When
we know the judgments and decision-making process that customers and prospects use for a product and its category, we can
predict their behavior. This predictive capability gives marketers the power
they need to achieve greater success.
