Stoke The User’s Emotions
You don’t need to be an expert in consumer behavior psychology to understand the emotional appeal that goes into shopping online. You just need to have a bit of empathy and understand the feelings behind a consumer’s purchase. This is often best achieved by asking yourself a few questions:- Is the product I am writing for a NEED or a WANT?
- How does (or will) a consumer identify with the product?
- Is greater status achieved when the product is acquired?
- Does the product provide a personal solution?
- Does owning the product impact an individual’s personality or outlook on life, love, and happiness?
