The power of emotion is considerable. Emotions give meaning to events. People often associate emotional events with brands. The fact is, research over the last decade has pointed to an overwhelming influence of emotion on our decision-making process. People buy based on emotion not logic. Logic justifies the decision, but emotions always come first. Therefore, the better you understand the decision-making process of your customers, the better it will be for your ROI. Emotional marketing is about taking the focus off of what you do as a business and communicates why you do it. It’s backing away from the features and benefits of the brand and connecting it to your customer’s feelings. Emotional Marketing is changing the way brands communicate to their audiences.
