LITERATURE REVIEW AND THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

Literature review

K sangeetha in her paper “emotional marketing” explained the concept of emotional

marketing and how any company can use this concept in positioning of its product in the

consumer mind by associating features of the product with human emotion. She also stat

marketing strategy to make customer loyal to the brand and make then indulge in repeat

purchase of the product.

Jay Conrad levison in his book, “the way of the guervilla” gave 10 emotions to be

incorporated in to the design, content and advertising, which generate more sales from the

promotional efforts.

Achievement

Pride of ownership

Self improvement

Security

Status

Style

Conformity

Ambition

Power

Love

In a recent article, Spence Kramer, VP of Marketing and Communications for Virgin

America in the United States spoke about emotional marketing. He said, "Emotional

marketing doesn't mean much if the company's people, products and services don't back it

up. Nike doesn't succeed because Wieden and Kennedy make great commercials. Rather,

Nike succeeds because its core belief-its brand promise, its love of the potential for the

athlete inside everyone lives inside the people in Beaverton. When that love is manifested in

their gear, consumers manifest it in their own lives." The result is not only an emotional

connection but an individual one. Having a one-to-one relationship in today's marketplace is

essential for market dominence.

Page 13: Research Final

Theoretical framework

Brands that don't make emotional connections with their prospects and customers will eventually

lose out to those that do. Producers realized that there was a strong emotional connect between

consumers / customers and the products they use. They understood if the consumers’ emotions

are addressed in the right way they could get more loyal customers. This unlashed the new

approach to marketing which was termed as “Emotional Marketing”.

Emotional marketing is technique of associating product’s feature to the human emotions to

create bond with customers, foster loyalty and repeated purchase. Simply put, positioning of the

product can be done in the mind of customer through emotional marketing. adding an emotional

appeal helps a company sell its product more; and marketers are increasingly restoring to this

measure. Emotion acts as a catalyst in the engine of the purchase decision process. Rational

only generates interest in the product the ultimate driver is emotion. Customers are not

much interested in the attributes of the product; they want to know that how that product is going

to suit their personality. Customers purchase their products emotionally and rationalize their

choices intellectually.

Marketers therefore follow the concept of emotional marketing. They endeavour more emotions,

as emotional marketing helps in getting share of wallet. If strategically developed emotional

marketing can minimize the impact of rational factors, which may otherwise take away the

customer to the competitors.
