The art of successful business involves low-cost tools that produce profitable results. Every business profits from persuasion. It doesn’t matter if you’re persuading customers to buy your products, or persuading workers to contribute to their sale. The best way is to tap into emotional decision-making. While writing, speeches, and images all have their place in the emotional arena, nothing is a more powerful tool than color. It works even when you don’t.
The majority of people are strongly affected by color. Color impacts us without our awareness. It doesn’t matter if it’s a product label, logo, web page, or modern office design. Colors describe mood and elicits responses accordingly.
