The Law of Reciprocity
"Reciprocity in social psychology refers to responding to a positive action with another positive action, rewarding kind actions. As a social construct, reciprocity means that in response to friendly actions, people are frequently much nicer and much more cooperative than predicted by the self-interest model." (wikipedia)
The Law of Reciprocity applies in EVERY culture on the face of the earth. Sociologists and anthropologists have found that there is not a single society in the world that doesn’t train its people from childhood to this rule.
In other words, The Law of Reciprocity simply explains that that when someone gives you something you feel an obligation to give back.
The effectiveness of promotional products is credited to centuries old cultural norms around the rule of reciprocity. “If you give something, the recipient is honor bound to give something back. In every language and culture, research has found there are really pejorative words for people who get and don’t give back."
We humans are hard wired to respond if we get something.
A well-known veterans’ nonprofit group, the Disabled American Veterans, is a case in point. When the group sends a mailing for contributions, Dr. Cialdini said, it gets an 18-percent response rate. When the same letter is sent with personalized address labels, which cost about eight cents, the response rate goes up to 35 percent. “For the cost of the address labels they get almost a doubling of return,” he said. “It’s very powerful rule and very small things can trigger it.”
