EMOTIONAL BRANDING MERGED WITH SOCIAL MEDIA

Companies and customers co-exist. Without any customer, no company can survive and on the other hand, if there is no need, want or desire of the customers, there will be no need of company. So, companies market their products and services to customers and customers need products and services to fulfil their needs, wants and desires. To obtain a better relationship with customers, companies need to make themselves strong yet humble in nature and continuously try to improve for better. This will enhance them to gain customer loyalty, customer retention and gaining more customers.

In this cut-throat market today, where each company is trying best to survive itself in customers’ minds. Doing SWOT analysis (identifying strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) from time to time, making use of proper resources, implementing extraordinary tools and techniques of marketing has become the need of the hour to create POD (Point of Difference) among the competitors and stand out of the line in the market. The company needs to drive customers through various forms of branding. Emotional branding is turning out to be the latest version of branding in the market. Emotional branding is connecting company’s products and services with different forms of emotions of the customers.

Driving customers through emotional branding is a great challenge before companies which need to be sorted in a smart and intelligent way. Emotional branding is much more difficult to obtain in a society where customers are becoming more and more aware of their as well as market’s environment. Thus, it has become hard to attract customers to a brand emotionally, be it traditionally.

The use of emotional branding has to be critically implemented. All customers are different, their behaviour is different, they handle emotions in a different way, they hold different opinions upon the same circumstances or situations. So, if one says that same type of emotional branding goes with all, it is purely incorrect. It has to be understood that dealing with customers one at a time will though be beneficial but really time consuming. And at the same time, thinking to connect to like-minded people need a proper road map and highly convincing manpower.

Today, in digital era, there are various modes of communication available and various modes of connecting with customers. Through social media widely available, a company can try to establish its brand as the supreme brand. That emotional connect can be made by using “well defined” posters, “self-defined” logos, and ”meaningful” statements. Reaching a large number of customers to bring out an idea and getting feedback from them is becoming useful to survive in the market and shine among the competitors.

CUSTOMER IS NO LONGER A GOD: MARKETING REVOLUTION

"Customer is a God". The thing that everyone has heard and believed. But in rapidly changing time, this statement has become questionable and is seen as an outdated concept. Today, producers or rather marketers are producing customers. They are not only catering to the present needs of customers, but are offering customers such products which can convert customers' wants to needs, be it for short duration. Producer/marketers are opting to remain in front of customers, ahead of customers and then developing a curiosity market. Rather being able to become price sensitive, marketers are persuading to become candy customers. So the question arises are customers god or are producers God. Slowly and gradually, roles of customers and producers are indulging in a revolution.

SELLING PRODUCT ONLINE: CONCEPT AND NECESSITY

To sell the product online, we need to understand concept of E-retailing or simply E-tailing. E-retailing  or E-tailing is defined as, "The sale of goods and services through the Internet." Electronic retailing, or e-tailing, can include business-to-business and business-to-consumer sales. E-tailing revenue can come from the sale of products and services, through subscriptions to website content, or through advertising. E-tailing requires businesses to tailor traditional business models to the rapidly changing face of the Internet and its users. E-tailers are not restricted solely to the Internet, and some brick-and-mortar businesses also operate websites to reach consumers. Online retailing is normally referred to as e-tailing. Now for the product to be sold online, let us think why is it necessary for us to sell our product online and what benefits can we achieve from it? Why should we decide to go online? In my view, the answer is changing Consumer Behaviour.
