Our brains don't store things individually, they
always store them contextually ….. we tend to store things in groups based on
relations to each other
Marketers always use this profound characteristic
of our brains to link brands with positive things. For example:
-
Nike and Michael Jordan …
wearing Nike won't make you be like him in anyway
-
Perfumes and celebrities
-
Sexy alcohol advertisements
-
Samsung and Messi …. What is
the god damn relation ??
-
Coca-Cola and that
always-happy people in their advertisements
-
Volvo: safety and security
-
The secret of Victoria: what
do you think of right now? :)
The thing
they are trying to do is to make your brain group this successful, sexy, attractive,
famous, loved people with their brands, or even a certain positive emotion,
situation …. A happy state of mind that it is forced to think of every time you
mention their brand
-
Even if you are totally aware
of what they are trying to do, your mind still store them together
-
Most of these associations
don't make any logic, are not true, deceiving … and it still can deceive your
brain
-
Associations (also it is
called: positioning) you see now for most brands- are developed over very
loooong long time and it is worth it totally
So, plan to associate your product with desirable
characteristic- positive state-of-mind, and even if there is nothing logically
true about that association, the qualities actually do from a psychological
standpoint rub off, which is why it works.
