Sell to Their Heart--Not Their Head
by Kim Lavine
Rule #1 of good marketing collateral? Don’t say something when you can make them feel something. The surest way to a consumer’s wallet is through their heart, not their head.
Effective Shelf-Talking
It’s a reality that most retailers can’t afford to hire expensive sales personnel to explain your product, so it’s critical that your product effectively explains itself.
Two seconds: that’s how much time you can expect to get to make a first impression on a shopping consumer. Don’t squander it by saying something boring. Say something interesting, funny, provocative, or emotional.
Sell to Their Heart--Not Their Head
Don’t say something when you can make them feel something. Making an emotional connection with consumers is what top brands pay millions to Madison Avenue agencies to do every year. Why? Because you can make an emotional impact in the consumer's heart in the two-seconds of attention you can command in the marketplace, that you can't make in their head.
The Hardest Job is Making Something Big Look Simple
Everyone I work with struggles with this part of the process of bringing a product to market. It looks deceptively easy to put your whole brand into a one sentence tag-line that's going to leap off the crowded shelves of retailers straight into the heart of consumers, but it's the hardest job they'll ever do.
There are No Wrong Answers. It all begins with just brainstorming out loud, saying the craziest things that come to mind because when it comes to getting the attention of consumers, 'Crazy is Good.'
