Sell, Sell, Sell  
We're all consumers of something, no matter where we live. From local markets to global brands, shopping is a way of life. But what impacts our buying decisions? We explore the science of shopping in this three-part BBC World Service Series.
PART 1




Why do we buy what we buy? How have shopping habits developed over the years? The BBC's Pamela Rutherford examines the birth of the consumer culture.
PART 2






Brand loyalty goes a long way toward explaining our buying decisions, from a family who always buys the same make of cars, to a teenager who wants the same brand of sneakers that all the other kids wear. In this documentary produced for the BBC World Service, we explore the power of the brand.
   
  PART 3






What happens when consumer meets brain scanner? We examine the future of advertising, and the new science of neuromarketing, in the final part of "Sell, Sell, Sell."










THE CHANGING WORLD is the sister documentary series of PRI's The World. Each week, we offer American radio listeners two in-depth documentaries from the BBC World Service that probe issues critical to our understanding of our evolving world.
