🤳 How Vessi Uses Risk Aversion

Imagine this:

You’re going on a trip.

The forecast shows 40% chance of rain for half the trip.

Do you take your preferred walking shows that aren’t great with water?

Or your other shoes that are better for rain but uncomfortable to walk in?

What if there was an alternative that guaranteed waterproof shoes?

Vessi’s ads leverage Risk Aversion by highlighting how their shoes are waterproof. That means you can explore wherever and whenever with the security and comfort of knowing your feet will be dry.
