Marketing Strategies – with Neuro-Marketing Concepts

Today’s presentation was delivered by Man-Li Lin from the U.S. Small Business Administration (U.S. SBA), who provided valuable insights into how businesses can strengthen their marketing strategies by incorporating neuro-marketing concepts in the digital space.

In today’s competitive online marketplace, effective marketing goes beyond visibility — it connects with how the brain makes decisions. By integrating principles of neuroscience and psychology, businesses can better understand consumer behavior, build emotional connections, and drive measurable growth.

What is Neuro-Marketing?

Neuro-marketing combines marketing strategy with insights from neuroscience to understand how consumers think, feel, and make purchasing decisions. Research from leading institutions such as Harvard University and Stanford University shows that most buying decisions are driven by subconscious emotional responses, followed by logical justification.
