This week marks the halfway point in our episodes on the types of NUDGES. We have already covered incentives and understanding mapping. Today, is all about defaults within choice architecture. When you think about choice and defaults, you may think it only applies when there is a preselected option on a list, but this is not the case. In every choice there is always a default. In many cases, the default is to do nothing…and that is still a choice, which is important for many choice architects to remember.
I won’t be talking too much about what a default is, but I will talk about how what I’m calling “implied defaults” can be incredibly helpful when they are used strategically. I’ll also talk about how customers appreciate them and how they can benefit the company using them. In this behavioral economics podcast, I also go over how defaults can apply to the air conditioning example I have been using and how this concept can be applied to your company or service and how it can even help you save money.
