Two Types of Trust
Unconscious Trust(AKA Blind Trust)
“unconsidered, unconscious trust that is
never questioned because the possibility of betrayal
is inconceivable”

nevertheless”

“The variation of our homepage with Trustpilot [the homepage design with reviews being shown above the fold] increased the conversion rate on average by 8.04%.
“This is not a huge increase but it should still in theory increase our yearly revenue by approximately €192,000 ($209,000) if all factors in the business remain the same as now.”
