That’s priming at work — a silent psychological nudge that influences your decisions before you even realize it. In marketing, priming is the invisible whisper that shapes perception, mood, and ultimately — your wallet’s behavior. What Is Priming in Marketing?

One says “90% sugar-free” , the other says “contains 10% sugar.” Same product. Same sugar. Different emotions. If you’re like most people, you’d grab the one labeled 90% sugar-free . Why? Because of something marketers exploit daily — the Framing Effect . The framing effect is a psychological bias where people react differently depending on how information is presented. The facts remain unchanged, but perception changes everything. It’s not about what you say — it’s about how you say it. In marketing, this small linguistic trick has built billion-dollar brands and shifted consumer behavior without anyone realizing it. Let’s decode how.

Yet behind that image lies a story of sheer persistence, countless failures, and one man’s obsession with progress. Honda’s journey isn’t just an automobile case study —it’s a psychology of resilience that turned a small workshop dream into a global phenomenon.
