A lot has changed in the brief time since this article was written. Much of the evidence in support of priming was revealed to be based on weak research that didn't replicate. Don't rely on that section of the article.
My own take on the subtle influence techniques is that if you are aware of them they don't work.
I sat at a car dealership the other day listening to the conversations between sales people and customers and found the subtle forms of influence very interesting. A lot of car salesman tropes, too, of course.
