In 1923, Claude Hopkins, one of the greatest copywriters who ever lived, wrote about the idea of using psychological triggers in advertising to increase sales. Hopkins concluded in his renowned book Scientific Advertising that “Human nature does not change“…”In most respects, Human Nature is the same today as it was in the time of Caesar”.
