The Herd Mentality

Illustration by Richard Marker


We're all sheep.


Don't be offended.

It's just human nature.


We follow the crowd.

We trust the masses.


It's why bestsellers sell better.

It's why long lines attract more people.


And it's your secret weapon in email marketing.


Social proof.


Reviews.

Testimonials.

User counts.


They're not just nice-to-haves.

They're need-to-haves.


"27,000 happy customers can't be wrong."

"Rated 4.9/5 by over 10,000 users."

"Join 100,000+ smart marketers."


Each one a silent nod.

A whispered "It's safe here."


But here's the catch:

Generic doesn't cut it.


Be specific.

Be relevant.

Be authentic.


Fake social proof?

Worse than none at all.


So, before you hit send...


Ask yourself:

Are you leveraging your crowd?

Or just shouting into the void?


The choice is yours.


Lead the herd or get left behind.
