In fact, you&#8217;ve seen plenty of examples of this throughout your life.<\/p>\n<h2>1) A first example of consistency: L&#8217;Or\u00e9al&#8217;s slogan<\/h2>\n<p>You&#8217;re sure to remember the famous slogan:<\/p>\n<h3>&#8220;L&#8217;Or\u00e9al, because you&#8217;re worth it&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p>At first glance it may seem like a simplistic slogan, but nothing could be further from the truth.<\/p>\n<p>Think about it: <strong>who thinks they don&#8217;t deserve the best?<\/strong> Most people will agree with this slogan; few will think <em>&#8220;well, actually I&#8217;m not worth it, I don&#8217;t deserve it&#8221;<\/em>. So from the moment you think you deserve the best, you already agree with the brand.  <strong>There&#8217;s already a connection.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And from there another association is created: that the best choice of products can be none other than L&#8217;Or\u00e9al&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>Seen that way, it&#8217;s more interesting, isn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13153 size-full\" title=\"Another example of consistency: telemarketers\" src=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/aumentar-las-ventas.png\" alt=\"Another example of consistency: telemarketers\" width=\"630\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/aumentar-las-ventas.png 630w, https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/aumentar-las-ventas-300x162.png 300w, https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/aumentar-las-ventas-110x59.png 110w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>2) Another example of consistency: telemarketers<\/h2>\n<p>Another example you&#8217;ve very probably experienced too. The typical phone call from a salesperson selling phone or internet services.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have you noticed that they always ask what you&#8217;re currently paying for those services?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are several reasons for this, of course. On the one hand, it helps them gather statistical data to evaluate first-hand what their competitors are offering.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But on the other hand, it&#8217;s a way of predisposing you to their offer.<\/strong>  Without them having to convince you too much.<\/p>\n<p>When you tell them what you pay and they tell you the price of their offer,<strong> you can see for yourself which is less.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s something you&#8217;ve realized on your own; they don&#8217;t have to tell you. In this <a href=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/en\/blog\/2026\/09\/06\/email-sales-turn-your-newsletter-into-a-selling-machine\/\">link<\/a> we explain how you can sell to users who are about to go to your competitors.<\/p>\n<h3>What&#8217;s more, by saying the figure out loud<\/h3>\n<p>First of all, you&#8217;re giving up your negotiating advantage. Once the salesperson tells you the price, you yourself reason that their offer is cheaper, and then comes the salesperson&#8217;s question: <strong>so why do you like paying more?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For a great many people, the logical behavior is to save money. So in this situation they&#8217;d have put themselves in a position where their own logic tells them they&#8217;re wrong.<\/p>\n<p>And to be consistent with their wishes and logic, they should take the cheaper offer. I&#8217;m not saying people will accept the offer like zombies just because of that, but it&#8217;s already a step won for the salesperson. The customer has to resist, and resist against their own logic. That&#8217;s harder and also wears down the customer&#8217;s position, since they have to resist against logic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Phone companies know this, which is why defenses such as minimum contract periods exist.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13912 size-full\" title=\"An example of using consistency on one of our own landing pages\" src=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Landing-Page.png\" alt=\"An example of using consistency on one of our own landing pages\" width=\"630\" height=\"340\"><\/p>\n<h2>3) An example of using consistency on one of our own landing pages<\/h2>\n<p>I really like this example, for obvious reasons. Here it is:<\/p>\n<div class=\"mr-legacy-box\">\n<div class=\"mr-legacy-box-title\">Example of using commitment and consistency<\/div>\n<div class=\"mr-legacy-box-text\">Have you landed here after searching long and hard for a way to send your mailing for free?You&#8217;ve come to the right place:\u00b7 Sign up for your account and you&#8217;ll be able to send up to 80,000 emails a month for free<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 And manage a list of up to 20,000 contacts<\/p>\n<p>Only here, nowhere else, however hard you look, only by signing up now below<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>In this case, the logic of consistency, of acting accordingly, tells us that if you&#8217;ve spent time and effort looking for something, <strong>looking for something you want<\/strong>, such as a <a href=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">free email marketing tool<\/a> in this case, once you find it the natural thing is to sign up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Not doing so goes against all logic.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That thought is reinforced by the words <strong><em>&#8220;nowhere else&#8221;<\/em><\/strong>, because that way visitors know that if they don&#8217;t accept the offer, they&#8217;ll have to keep spending time looking for an alternative, and they may well not find one. To do that, they also have to &#8220;fight&#8221; against their own consistency.<\/p>\n<p>This feeling will grow the more time they&#8217;ve spent looking for the answer to their problem.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18672 size-full\" title=\"How can you easily use consistency in your newsletters?\" src=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/tecnicas-de-venta.png\" alt=\"How can you easily use consistency in your newsletters?\" width=\"630\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/tecnicas-de-venta.png 630w, https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/tecnicas-de-venta-300x162.png 300w, https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/tecnicas-de-venta-110x59.png 110w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>How can you easily use consistency in your newsletters?<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s very easy to do, even with small, subtle messages that strengthen that feeling in your readers, which is why we recommend using a bulk email strategy to help you sell more.<\/p>\n<p>For example, imagine you have a travel company.
