5 ways to get to the heart of emotional marketing

Emotional marketing however  tells a story that connects with an audience either  in a human or personal way. With the consumers who are thus  increasingly making buying decisions which is   driven by the  feelings rather than logic, emotional marketing however creates meaningful relationships that thus  result in brand fans, replacing the loyalty marketing approach of years past.

The proliferation of the new media channels, platforms and also devices means that the consumers have greater access to the  brand stories, and marketers a;sp  have more ways in order  to convey their brand’s identity and vision. Done right, emotional marketing however  helps the marketers differentiate and also  compete in this changing environment, and also helps to convey a brand’s values, interests and passion.

While the  emotional marketing is considered as a strategy, it must also feel authentic and honest in order to work. Marketers however are required to truly understand both the audience and also  the brand’s identity in order  to choose the right approach.

The article below tells us about the five approaches to emotional marketing that can however turn the casual consumers into brand fans: Inspirational, Aspirational, Love, Milestones and Local.

1. Inspirational

When the  people are inspired, they thus often either  think or act differently. They may also  feel a sense of pride when someone with which  they relate to accomplishes an unexpected feat or either  overcomes an obstacle. Or, they may also thus  be swayed by seeing a good deed in action.

The right human interest story or either  a spokesperson who however embodies the brand make the inspirational approach work. Effectively associating one’s brand with a role model that people can believe in may thus also  lead people in order to believe in the product as well. Gatorade and Nike have however mastered the inspirational approach, using the  athletes like Serena Williams and Michael Jordan as their brand ambassadors who however  inspire audiences not simply with their looks or fame but also with their accomplishments, talents and perseverance.

 

Building an emotional connection with the customers can thus also be magical and can also  create a halo effect for the  brand.

  1. Aspirational

Aspirational campaigns thus also  create a brand presence that however  taps into an audience’s dreams, their desire in order  to reach a lofty goal or to either  enjoy a lifestyle or experience they long for. They may thus also  aspire to be financially secure, send a child to college or either  hit the open road in a status vehicle. Marketers who are however  considering an aspirational approach must thus  understand the need, hope or either desire their brand fills for their target customer and as to  how their brand reflects the  people’s self-image and identity. Then they must thus also build a story that however brings the dream to life.

In the luxury category, Hermes thus also conveys the image that its products are for those who are elegant, worldly and thus also appreciate fine craftsmanship. Even if one is thus never traveled the world, owning an Hermes product shows one however  appreciates worldliness in a way others may not. Those who however  drive a Tesla thus  do so because they believe in the company’s aspirational mission: “ in order to accelerate the world’s transition to a  sustainable energy.”

3. Expressing love

A marketing strategy which is however  focused on appealing to the consumers' raw and most personal emotions can thus also change a nameless, faceless, perhaps seemingly soulless business thus into a brand that the audiences can however  relate to and care about. This can thus also even work for the businesses that thus aren’t inherently compelling or either deliver a product or a service that thus has little to differentiate it from the competition. It is thus also impactful for  the businesses that thus  specialize in the products or services for the  special occasions.

The most effective way i order  to humanize a company is thus  by demonstrating that the brand thus  makes someone’s life better, easier or either also brings them joy.

4. A milestone connection

Milestones can thus also be considered as an opportunity in order  to strengthen the brand’s relationship with the customers. Additionally, a brand can thus also focus on the life milestones that are however  important to its audience and thus also  develop a strategy that thus resonates with them.

5. The local angle

A brand can thus also  gain fans by thus connecting to the  people’s pride and passion for where they live. Brands who are  with a trendy “buy local” strategy thus  tailor their stories and platforms to the cities in which they thus do business.

National auto brands, retailers and also the banks tie into their local markets thus  through the campaigns featuring famous local attractions, local schools and colleges, and also hometown sports teams.

Location-specific marketing is thus  also considered as a particularly valuable approach for the young, smaller businesses or the franchises that may thus  have smaller budgets, but can also thus trade on their local presence and also the connection to the community.

Be real in real-time.

While theoretically any of these emotional marketing approaches can however also  apply to all kinds of businesses, one thing which however remains the same is that one must thus also be consistent in the  storytelling across all platforms in order to bring it to life. Ensuring that one’s story and delivery evoke the same tone and message across the  multiple platforms thus builds a credible, meaningful and also a  recognizable brand that will thus also  resonate with customers.

While creating this type of marketing strategy may thus also seem like an insurmountable -- and also cost prohibitive -- task, small businesses should not thus also not be discouraged. One does not also have to have a giant budget in order  to create brand fans. One must understand the  audience, tell a believable story, be prepared in order to work harder and also thus use the platforms the audience uses to give one  the most visibility and “bang for the buck.”

Regardless of the strategy which one chooses , one must thus also remember that the key to creating a successful emotional marketing campaign is however  authenticity. If one truly understands  the promise one’s brand is making to its audience and thus also  speak from the heart, one’s  brand will thus also connect at a whole new level and also transform the  customers into friends.
