It has been a trend that most people buy goods on the Internet, and one big reason is that people prefer those cheaper commodities online. Similarly, almost all of us will consume only when there are some discounts or rewards. What behind these phenomena is the so-called consuming psychology, and we are just the people who can be taken advantage of easily. First, the merchants utilize our nature of being greedy for small gains. Awards like little presents, coupons, discounts and so on can extremely stimulate us to acquire the profit. For us irrational consumers, only a small benefit can become attractive bait, catching us to feed back the merchants without protest. However, there is no escaping the fact that businessman is the only winner. My own experience proves that we can’t always trust our eyes. I bought a skirt on a famous website during the festival period, which means I got a super high discount. After a few days, I rechecked the price of that skirt, only to find that the original price is amazingly lower than the price with discount. Obviously, it’s an old trick, yet it’s time-tested. What’s more, we are living in the era of advertisement. Various ads has occupied our normal life and to some extent has had bad effects on us. For example, propaganda has overspread our daily life, from staple goods to dear clothes, little of us can avoid the influence of commercial publicity. Thus we are increasingly dependent on advertisement and gradually build trust with them. It’s very normal as well as dangerous to keep on following the instructions give by merchants blindly. There is no doubt that we should change our emotional consuming habits. To sum up, we are all participants in this big market, but smart players are seldomly controlled by others. In order to become the one who laughs last, we shall clam down and think twice before those temptations.
