It’s “START ALL OVER” & “START FRESH” FOR BRANDS : B.C (Before COVID) & A.C (After COVID)

It’s “START ALL OVER” & “START FRESH” FOR BRANDS : B.C (Before COVID) & A.C (After COVID)


Clearly, Life as a whole for each one of us will change A.C (After Covid ) Lockdown is lifted. Priorities & Lifestyle is expected to change. The global forced lockdown during the Covid crisis has made bizarre yet relevant thoughts to people – Example: “Why would I fly down to Delhi from Bangalore for 1 meeting & spend nothing less than INR 20,000/- for that trip, rather I could do the same 1 meeting via Video Conference, imagine the time & money saved & the Traffic ufff…!!”

This Pandemic has taught the entire human race on What Fear is, what it is to be stripped off from your freedom to even walk around out of your home !! & People have been so glued into the Covid related death rates, lockdowns, economic disasters, employment & mere survivability that most of us have totally forgotten the best advertising campaign we saw B.C (Before Covid).

It is important for Brands to be on top of people’s minds. Brand Recall plays a vital role in getting more customers to stick with your brand as well as to buy your brand repeatedly. In simple terms, brand recall is a qualitative measure of the consumer’s ability to remember the name of a brand. It is a component of brand awareness that measures the spontaneous recall of the brand from memory when the customer is prompted by the product category to make a decision for purchase.

Irrespective of whether your Brand was able to run the most successful Marketing Campaign or no matter how many awards or accolades the Brand achieved for a fabulous advertisement B.C (Before Covid) – is now either out or grim in Consumer’s mind. It is of Paramount importance to elevate Brand Recall to remind your consumers & to Stay Fresh in their minds. Few suggestions:

  1. Relaunch your most successful Ad campaign of B.C (Before Covid) period, once again A.C (After Covid) lockdown. (Make it even more better this time)
  2. Re-visit the Planned Marketing Campaigns of B.C Period, your team must have put a lot of energy & research in chalking out that plan, Tweak them/Modify them to suit the situation of A.C period
  3. Marketing budgets in some cases might be a constraint, forcing you to re-evaluate the plans. In that case : re-negotiate the terms & rates with your Vendor. The Vendor as well would have dried up with no business in the last many months, they will be happy to do business with lesser margins.
  4. Come up with New Campaigns (Sure, you would have got some really cool ideas – Thanks to the Forced Lockdown period), Look for Cost-Effective platforms that can cover larger impressions/eyeballs at lower rates.
  5. Please do not mix up Brand Recall campaigns with Lead generation Campaigns. Both have their own purpose & objectives.
  6. Execute Fast, Brands have lost a lot of business, already

It’s a Comeback for all Brands and a Positive approach to the Future is the only Strong way out.

“It’s a Fresh Start and an opportunity to start it all over – one more time – only better, this time”

1. Blur the line between an offline and online advertising campaign

The gap between online and offline mediums are decreasing day by day. Why should your advertising campaigns be separated into offline and online advertising spaces? One of the best ways to measure the impact the effectiveness of advertising campaigns is by looking into the increase in website traffic in the locations where advertising campaigns are running.

2. Call to Action to Track Conversions

Despite huge technological progress in offline advertising space, it is still comparatively difficult to connect Conversions with offline advertising campaigns.

Human Biases which you can exploit as a Marketer

Human Biases which you can exploit as a Marketer

People are not perfect. In this world of increased competition and decreasing product differentiation, every advantage counts. As a marketer, exploiting the inherent weaknesses in humans can play a huge role in the profitability and success of your company, especially in the B2C category. We list out some human biases which you can use and greatly benefit from. 

Affect Heuristic

When people want to make decisions quickly, they often rely on their “gut” feelings or emotions. This mental shortcut gives them a false sense of belief that their decisions are based on sound reasoning. For example, the word “mother” often invokes a sense of love and care, while “cancer” often provokes a sense of dread. 

How Marketers can use them:

These feelings can be brought forth in the minds of consumers before they make a choice of purchasing an item. Invoking a good mood will make them more likely to perceive a purchase positively. Such emotions significantly influence the decision-making abilities and perception of risk in the minds of consumers.

Anchoring 

Anchoring refers to the initial suggestion or “anchor” on which further decisions, discussions and negotiations are made. Anchoring is most effective when there is scarce information to be found about an item or if the customer is negligent.

How marketers can use them:

Most buyers start their buying journey with little knowledge of price or quality, placing huge leverage on the hands of the seller. This enables the sellers to set the initial price at a very high point from where they can make significant profits, even if the customer manages to bargain a heavy discount on the initial price. Even in this age of prevalent information, anchoring still plays a crucial role in market dynamics.

Availability Heuristic

Availability Heuristic is very similar to Affect Heuristic, in which the individuals often rely on the first information they could recollect. This often comes in handy while evaluating concept, method, decision or topic. If people are often able to recollect information, they perceive it as something important. 

How marketers can use them:

In marketing, targeting availability heuristic is often central to most campaigns. The best way to stay in the minds of the customers is to present a brand as a solution to a problem. First, identify a pestering problem of the target customers and present the brand as a solution to that problem. Another great way to cater to availability heuristic is to present the success of the brand among its customers. Customers are more likely to recollect a brand if they perceive them as the leaders of the field.

Human Biases Advantages

Human Biases which Marketers can Exploit

Confirmation Bias, the most impactful among human biases

People are creatures of habits and beliefs. Most of them use beliefs as identities and cling on to them. Confirmation bias refers to the tendency of people to use any information they come across to reinforce such held beliefs, even rejecting scientifically proven knowledge if it contradicts their beliefs. Confirmation bias is often seen in greater effect when it involves emotionally charged and deeply held issues. 

How marketers can use them:

Confirmation bias is a powerful tool in marketers kit to change the perception of a company. Even if a company is selling the same product as it has always been selling, changing the perception alone is enough to boost sales by a whopping margin if done right. The best way to create a confirmation bias is to set an initial expectation or suggestion and build evidence around those perceptions. Confirmation Bias has a lasting effect as seen in the case of Maruti, where it is still perceived as an “Indian” car brand even if they are no longer owned by an Indian entity.

Decoy Effect

When presented with two major options, customers often select either of the options if a third option is presented which may offer symmetrically declining feature options, but is priced asymmetrically.  

How Marketers can use them:

Often used by many SaaS companies, Decoy effect is great at driving customers to the desired product/service price range. People tend to go towards products which has a larger feature set, but getting it at a perceived better-valued price range.

Endowment Effect

People are more likely to start caring more for an object that they already own. This bias is known as the Endowment Effect. This effect is borne out of a sense of familiarity and people tend to avoid items which have a sense of risk and uncertainties associated with them. 

How marketers can use them:

Endowment Effect is great at creating a sense of Brand Loyalty. As a marketer, it will be highly beneficial for you to minimise the learning curve required to use your product so that customers can switch to your services seamlessly.

Fear of Missing Out (FOMO)

The latest craze among young generations, Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) has always been a secret weapon among marketers The bias plays on the notion that others might be having great experiences while they might miss out on. It also gets into play when an attractive proposition is available for a limited time period.

How marketers can use them

Want to create a buzz for your brand in a short period of time? Fear of Missing Out is the one you need to target for. Marketers have always used this bias while creating a limited time period offer or when.

IKEA Effect, the most underutilised among human biases

IKEA is a Swedish based furniture manufacturer and retailer. They have innovated a unique business model in which they provide furniture directly to the consumer without the required assembly. This helps save them on shipping and production cost. Another surprising benefit out of this is people love to build their own product even if it is imperfect and will treasure them as such.

How marketers can use them

Whenever possible, try to engage consumers. Make them part of the process, rather than an end goal to whom we have to sell.

Though it may seem like a good choice to go for Bus Branding on the outset, it is anything but. Out of all the Out Of Home Advertising mediums, Bus Branding is the least appealing of all. Bus Advertisement has a wide reach and can garner impressions, but are often dirty and poorly maintained. In addition to that, buses are seen as a budget option for the masses, not something most aspire to. So it makes little sense to go for Bus Advertisement unless impressions are your only goal, and have little concern about the drop in brand value.

PROS:

  • Only suitable to obtain impressions.

CONS:

  • Guaranteed drop in the brand value.

Out Of Home Advertising is constantly evolving and there are major channels opening up all the time.
