Show, don´t sell

But..how is that?

As digital marketers, we face intense competition for user engagement. Yet, our paramount challenge lies in effectively addressing user needs through our brand solutions.

However, the truth is…

Capturing attention is just the initial step; there are three fundamental facts to winning over users' hearts.❣️

1️⃣ Show your magic, sell to humans.

Nowadays platforms such as TikTok are extremely entertaining.

If we encounter intrusive, hard-hitting advertising while enjoying our entertainment, it becomes challenging to establish a positive connection with the brand and its product.

But…what happens when advertising seamlessly integrates with the entertainment itself?

It's not the same to encounter traditional advertising for the latest acne-fighting facial serum from the trending skincare brand as it is to watch a skincare routine from our beloved content creator, who showcases their favorite facial serum – one that not only fits our budget but also resonates due to the creator's close relationship with their audience.

👽 Unless you're reading this article from a distant galaxy, we're all humans seeking human connections. That's why this content thrives.

2️⃣ Once you have the attention…you need to build confidence.

As we said before, capturing the user's attention is just the first step.

Attention comes from the quality of the content and we already put in clear creators as gifted storytellers are experts on the art of inspiring others to try new products.

Also the trust is a result of who's making the content. 👀 

Referring back to content creators: When we see a content creator fully committed to fitness endorsing a calorie-burning protein as users, we gain confidence in the product's trustworthiness due to our close relationship with the content spokesperson.

3️⃣ Users don't buy due to product quality; they buy due to brand affinity.

❣️Brand Love is the key.❣️

Don't get us wrong, undeniably matters, consumers' purchasing decisions are often driven by their emotional connection and loyalty to a brand.

In today's competitive landscape, where various products with similar features saturate the market, brand affinity sets a product apart. Customers are drawn to brands that resonate with their values, reflect their identity, and evoke positive emotions.

This connection engenders trust, fosters a sense of belonging, and influences buying decisions.

A brand with a strong emotional appeal cultivates a loyal customer base that doesn't merely make one-time purchases, but becomes advocates and repeat buyers. This loyalty creates a powerful ripple effect, with satisfied customers sharing their positive experiences, effectively becoming brand ambassadors.

By fostering brand love, businesses establish a lasting relationship with customers that transcends the transactional aspect. They become part of a community, which encourages customer retention and, eventually, growth.

And these emotional connections are borne as every human connection is borne: With a constant interchange of positive messages that become hopeful feelings.
