How to Make Consumers Fall in Love with Your Brand
Understanding brand love is more akin to appreciating ice cream than forming a deep relationship. It's about the strong anticipation of positive experiences, delightful sensations, and beneficial outcomes. When consumers say they love M&M's, IKEA, BMW, Nokia, or Google, they're really expressing this anticipation of joy and satisfaction. Our challenge as marketers is to harness this notion of anticipation and craft strategies that evoke such feelings, rather than attempting to directly stimulate "love."
How Consumers Develop Affection for a Brand
The process of falling for a brand mirrors how people fall in love with each other. We all have beliefs about what will satisfy us and make us happy, often without being fully aware of them. These beliefs form our desires. When a brand aligns with these subconscious beliefs, it becomes an opportunity to realize imagined benefits, similar to being drawn to a new relationship. However, unlike human relationships, we do not form mutual commitments with brands.
Creating the "Click"
Developing a brand begins with gaining insight into the consumer's subconscious desires. Advanced research tools, demanding psychological expertise and interviewing skills, can uncover these desires. With this insight, we craft a concept that fulfills the consumer's needs, forming the basis of our brand strategy.
Influencing the Intensity of Brand Affection
Two factors influence the strength of emotions toward a brand: the importance and rarity of the brand's benefits, and the consistency with which the brand delivers. Good management ensures reliability, but creating an important and rare benefit requires a brilliant strategy. Consider offering benefits that are crucial to consumers yet uncommon in your market (Off-Core Differentiation). For example, The Body Shop emphasizes environmental protection and social responsibility, providing a unique benefit that enhances brand loyalty.
Intangible Benefits
Off-core benefits are added values separate from the product itself. They can be social or psychological, not just tangible or experiential. For instance, De Beers launched the "Right-Hand Ring" in 2003, offering women a way to signal their single status?"a social benefit?"through an effective marketing campaign.
How Consumers Discover Brands
Consumers are more likely to embrace a brand if it feels like a personal discovery rather than a hard sell. This requires "Electrifying Marketing" over "Satisfying Marketing." Instead of simply pleasing the consumer, create marketing that surprises and excites, setting challenges and obstacles that heighten the sense of achievement when the consumer chooses your brand.
Turning Your Brand into a Show
Bringing your brand strategy to life can benefit from "Drama Theory." Successful brands offer more than just functionality; they create an almost magical experience. Drama has long been known to captivate audiences, drawing them into the story being told. Similarly, "The Brand's Trance" refers to the consumer's willingness to accept the brand's promise as reality. To develop your brand's presence, consider the "Drama of the Brand," which explores the consumer's journey to achieve the promised benefit. Analyze their challenges, failures, and the role your brand plays in overcoming these hurdles. This approach creates a dramatized brand experience, sparking an exhilarating "found it!" moment for consumers.
By understanding and leveraging these strategies, you can deepen consumers' affection for your brand, ensuring loyalty and long-term success.
