In this episode of The Brainy Business podcast, Melina Palmer revisits the fascinating concept of framing with numbers. She explores how the presentation of numerical information can significantly influence decision-making and consumer behavior. Melina emphasizes that the way numbers are framed can be more impactful than the numbers themselves, particularly through the lens of loss aversion and familiarity.
