We all seek to understand exactly why our customers purchase from us. What makes them tic? Why do they purchase from us or from any for that matter? 100’s of books are written on buyers psychology, or making the perfect pitch in order to get the customer to purchase. It is actually not all that complicated to explain but might be a little more difficult to implement consistently. The key to getting your customers to buy is getting them to feel the direct link to your product through their emotional. This doesn’t mean you manipulate them but there is no doubt that using emotion to influence is an effective tool to increasing sales. Fear Of all the emotions used to create sales this is by far the most over used tactic. 2016 was one of the most brutal presidential election the US has seen. There were more fear messages presented to the American People than I can ever recall. The use of the message to create a fear of absolute doom in order to sell the presidency was actually pretty disgusting. All parties involved were incredible passionate and their pleas created splits in the general populations. Why do we bring this up?

For example: Fear of loss, Fear of looking bad, Fear of being left out, Fear of not belonging, etc. To use fear effectively is to build a strong brand, to abuse the fear emotion is the best way to end the life of your product much younger than it should. Security This emotion is something that is often coupled with fear. By using this product x you won’t have to worry about this fatal flaw in your life. We often see this in the Home alarm commercials. Some masked villain is about to break in to do harm, scared away by the alarm. Other phrases say that you can rest securely knowing someone else is watching out for you. This works great for some products and not so well for others. It is an emotion that does lead to more sales or closing the sale. Excitement Every year in January and February we have an series of events in the US that draws more excitement than any other event. The weekends leading up can only be expressed in an absolutely frenzy of excitement. Fans of their favorite team anticipate this excitement as their home team advances. The home town of the winner of the Super Bowl is an absolute mad house of excitement. When selling there are multiple ways to create this excitement. It can come through your ad copy, through others that are purchasing, or something as simple as a once in a lifetime contest. […]
