EP 15 | The Psychology of Anticipation and Its Role in Marketing
Today we’re talking about one of the most powerful, yet underutilized, marketing tactics out there: anticipation marketing.
When it's done right, you can pique your audience's interest and bring them along on a journey that gets them so invested that when it’s time to announce your new service or product, you don't have to sell to them. They're already bought in.
Sounds dreamy, doesn’t it?
