"We use the Persuasive Patterns deck of cards to get people thinking about how we can leverage different techniques to increase conversions on our websites. I LOVE the line art (#58 - Self-Expression is my fav) but do wish there was a resource to see real-world applications."

"Wanted to quickly shout out this Persuasive Patterns card deck I got from UI-Patterns and my favorite concept that's included - the Peak-End Rule. It's an excellent reference for keeping intended behaviors top-of-mind, and for explaining a complex concept simply to a stakeholder."
