The Science Behind Why People Choose (and Trust) Certain Brands
Building a brand people trust takes more than a clever logo or flashy ad campaign.
It takes strategy—and a deep understanding of what makes people tick.
In this part, we dive into how brand consistency, social proof, and scarcity create action and momentum.
Social Proof in Branding: Why Reviews and Testimonials Matter
Trust attracts. And nothing builds trust like seeing others back your brand.
Social proof—like client reviews, testimonials, or influencer shoutouts—reassures potential customers that they’re making the right choice.
- 88% of people trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations
• Brands using testimonials see up to a 62% increase in sales
We help brands incorporate social proof into every part of their strategy—from websites to ad campaigns—to build trust and drive conversions.
The Mere Exposure Effect: Why Consistent Branding Wins
The more people see you, the more they trust you.
It’s science—specifically, the Mere Exposure Effect. People tend to prefer what feels familiar.
That means every time your audience sees your brand—on social, in email, through advertising—you’re building trust and recognition.
We ensure all of our clients’ touchpoints are visually and verbally consistent, reinforcing the brand over time and creating preference that turns into loyalty.
The Scarcity Principle: Creating Demand With Smart Urgency
People want what they think they can’t have.
That’s the Scarcity Principle in action. Limited-time offers, exclusive products, and countdowns increase perceived value and drive immediate action.
But scarcity only works when it feels real—not gimmicky. At LSCC, we build urgency into campaigns the right way, using psychology to convert interest into results.
