Characteristics of the time interval between now to the event
49

- negative events = seem closer
- if we have anticipation, we may want to delay the event.
50
event markers
events within the time interval related to the target event
50
why would a marketer want to use event markers
Its harder for consumers to justify buying something else right after they just purchased the first one, so marketers might want to manipulate the feeling of how long it has been since I made a purchase

frequent release windows, follow up emails/notifs
52
applying event markers to marketing (events/experiences)
- highlight reel
-nostalgia
- make us want to purchase again
- frequent reminders of past event
53
satiation
consumers will be less satiated (satisfied) when they feel like their last consumption of this experience or product was a long time ago
54
Applying intertemporal choice to marketing → time and choice
Scheduling events up to the release of the product (events, teasers, trailers), people may still feel like it is far away
