Some of the key points of the article are first understanding that the human brain is basically primitive you only have a few seconds to make a lasting impression and that impression is typically a gut instinct so make sure you can get your message across quickly and without much thought involved initially. Which leads into the fact that brains process about 90 percent visually so make sure you use a good image as part of your content whether it be an article, post, video, or any other marketing option. When using images it is important to use faces to get people to connect and also to consider the right colors for your message. (See another blog article we did on colors and their message.)
