How we change what others think, feel, believe and do

Using Repetition

Techniques > General persuasion > Using Repetition

Repetition is such a common method of persuasion and does not really fall into any other area, so it has its own little section here.

Alliteration: Repeated initial letter.
The Dripping Tap: Same words across sentences.
The Hammer: Steady sequence of a single word.
The Jackhammer: Rapid sequential repetition.
Jingles: Musical ditties.
Motto: short phrase with singular meaning.
Nagging: Persistent requests.
Rhyme: Repeated sounds.
Slogan: repeated promotional message.
Tonal Patterns: the music of speech.
The Triple: Say things in threes.

Also, consider:

Limits to Repetition: More does not necessarily mean better.
Synchrony and Cooperation: Groups who repeat things together grow closer.
