🧠 1 Marketing Framework:

The Clustering Effect

The Clustering Effect is a cognitive bias that describes how individuals tend to group similar items to remember and process them better.

This psychological principle is valuable in marketing as it helps organize information to make it easier for consumers to understand and recall.

A famous example of a brand utilizing the Clustering Effect is Apple.

Apple masterfully employs this in its marketing by categorizing products into intuitive groups like iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Each category showcases features appealing to specific needs, simplifying consumer choices.

iPhones are further clustered into models like the iPhone 12 and the iPhone 12 Pro which helps customers to easily navigate their options and make a decision.

This strategy not only simplifies purchasing but also strengthens brand recall and loyalty.
