Why is it that blood, rather than peace, sells?

About This Quote

In the world of marketing, there is a lot of pressure to get consumers to buy a product. It’s not uncommon for companies to create commercials that auto-play at the most inopportune times. One way companies have found to get customers to buy is by playing on our fear of blood. The idea that blood can be sold at a higher price than anything else has been around for centuries. This fear is so strong that even today, blood is still used in traditional witchcraft and voodoo rituals.
