The marketing power of high voltage
Persuasion, seduction, negotiation, and fear have lost their effectiveness to close the deal, close the sale, and make cash registers ring. Whiter, brighter, faster and better – while intriguing – has failed to motivate consumers to act. market experts today are changing strategies harder to connect with customers are leveraging the power of the four P's communications High Voltage ™ – the person, object, person, and presence – to promote their products, services, issues and organizations.
Sick of the impersonal quality of much of their daily lives, Americans are trying to reconnect and build stronger relationships. "In all areas of life, we see an inclination to impersonal transactions in personal relationships, "reports the famous futurist Daniel Yankelovich.
Connecting, or feeling of belonging, is one of the three major human needs, according the psychologist Abraham Maslow, after the physical needs. In our society, well fed, almost all of our physiological and safety needs are being met, but for many the need for connection is not, and ready companies are responding.
The image of today's business is being altered, says futurist Faith Popcorn's bestselling book click. "(Business is) no longer seen as a war to win by beating the competition, but seen as a mosaic complicated to be developed, a relationship every time. "Sharp marketing forge stronger links with constituents by building deeper relationships that result in trust and confidence is built on the four high-voltage P ™ communications.
Personality: Personality requires companies to be self-aware, self-acceptance, and self-revelation. In order to be aware of themselves and accept, many traders use a tool called "gap analysis." During a gap analysis, research is carried out to determine if the current reputation the company matches your expectation: if not, more research is needed to find out why. If it is due to the perceptions of consumers, the sellers know they should do a better job of promotion, and if it is a real problem, which include changes must be made.
The person also needs to be authentic and after too many recent corporate scandals, making faith has never been more important.
"In the current environment, it is time for brands to rethink basic fundamentals of the brand and consider adding a mainstay around the trust. Should clarify your company's values and synchronize them with the values of their customers "Says Ed Keller, CEO of RoperASW, a most respected firms in the world market research.
Smart marketers earn consumer confidence when self-disclosure and / or willing to make fun of themselves. A good example is when Jaguar to its reputation for mechanical problems and became his business by promoting it, "what keeps us loved. The rest is history." By putting a face to a product, issue, or organization, sellers of high-voltage personality ™ used to customize their products. However, a pretty face is not enough, but you are also using narrative stories. "The power of the story is overshadowing the power of the idea of advertising," Melinda Davis writes in his book The New Culture of Desire: Five Radical new strategies that will change your business and your life. A good story is more personal and credible than an advertising slogan devised, and we will remember a story long after a slogan catchy has disappeared from our memory.
Dave Thomas of Wendy's, Scottie Mayfield Mayfield Ioccoa Chrysler dairies and Lee are good examples of how traders have used to promote individual products. These directors are comfortable talking about themselves and are able to connect their stories to the needs of customers. Customizing storytelling and work, helping people to establish emotional ties with the company and its products.
Purpose: Most companies express purpose in the form of a mission statement, and while many companies have written mission statements and a few live in them. Many states have the mission of noble virtues, principles, and intentions, but actually benefits the government of the corporate ship and constituents know it. companies Smart realize that when they put employees, customers and society in the first place, the benefits continue. Creating an excellent work environment, attracting the best employees, and consumers to choose over their competitors if they offer hiqh quality products and excellent service at a good price, and if they are socially responsible. In recent years we have seen an explosion in the field of corporate social responsibility. Today, almost all large companies have specific guidelines on social responsibility and consciously engaged in efforts to give back to society.
Some call marketing purposes "cause branding," and one of the country's leaders experts about the cause of brand is Carol Cone, chairman of Boston, Cone, Inc.
"As a result brand continues to evolve, so will the public in expectations about the role companies to meet the needs of society. In the new reality, companies must implement significant programs around issues of social fund to bring their values to life, to express their 'Soul', and answer the question, 'What do they represent? "Cono says.
Those who put their money where their mission is – as the paint shop, Ben & Jerry's, and Patogonia – are richly rewarded by consumers.
Person: Person describes the masks they wear, or the image to take in order to facilitate communication. In business, we call personality "brand."
'The branding is to establish a relationship ", says Charlotte Beers, former director of advertising two most prestigious brands, Ogilvy & Mather and J. Walter Thompson. Much has been written about the brand and for good reason. Without it, a product, service, issue, or organization is no different than their competition and will die. But futurist Melinda Davis predicts that the power of the brand is declining. Instead, she says consumers will depend on new meta-brands are idenified with a creed, or overt market, and not tied to a category of products. Davis sites Oprah Winfrey as an example of this emerging trend. Interested women in improving their lives turn to Oprah for advice on a wide variety of topics of what the recipe for cooking to the law books to read. The goal of the Oprah brand is also an excellent example of High Voltage ™ marketing because it has all the four Ps: person, object, character, and his presence.
Presence: Presence concerns the way a company operates in the world, including how to communicate with constituents. In the past, marketers relied mostly on one-way vehicle communication such as advertising and publicity. Not anymore.
Consumers want a say. "(They) are hoping to connect, to be heard, which are – at least, to be seen – in a world that feels ever more invisible, "writes Davis.
Experts suggest the use of communications two-way marketing vehicles such as the mouth-to-mouth, Internet, and stronger relationships with consumer programs for dialogue with consumers and build relationships criticism.
The personality, purpose, personality and presence are not linear, but interrelated. Each depends on the other. The personality, purpose, the character and presence can be described as the four points which is a cross within a circle. Personality is at the bottom of the cross as above, is objective at the top. In the leftmost character resides, and the axle is presence. When the four points meet in the center, high voltage communications ™ conduct, and here we are at our most powerful and traders.
