Nostalgia Marketing and its Benefits [infographic]

Nostalgia: a sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations.

Nostalgia is a powerful marketing tool to have in your arsenal. Everyone experiences this emotion not just those of older generations. People like to think back on happier times or times of togetherness when they shared a memorable experience with others. Sometimes this can involve a couple of people while other times it can involve a whole country. For example, think about how England celebrated the recent royal wedding with such joy and pomp. That will be remembered by those who witnessed it for their entire lives. They will tell their grandchildren about it for years to come. The main thing to remember with nostalgia is that is stirs up positive warm fuzzy feelings of connection. When utilizing this in your marketing, you can connect your brand to those feelings. People act upon those emotions which will hopefully lead to a purchase and loyalty if you play your cards right.

Marketing Yourself vs. Marketing Agency

As a small business owner, you may often find yourself debating the subject of marketing yourself vs. using a marketing agency. In order to hire an agency, you must be willing to set aside some budget for them to work with.

The Neuroscience Of Storytelling

Have you ever thought about the neuroscience of storytelling? I’m guessing most people haven’t but knowing the how and why behind branding through storytelling is more interesting and scientific than I ever thought possible. Our brains are wired to latch on and remember stories more than anything else. Neuroactivity abounds when we hear a story because they are built to touch so many different centers of our brain from emotional and language regions to sensory regions like sight and smell. Stories engulf their listeners in a narrative they can’t peel away from – if it’s a good story, told well. Telling your brand story is your company’s opportunity to captivate an audience. Take advantage of the neuroscience of storytelling and make sure you find a unique place in the memory of your audience. Take the time to craft and turn over different lines and points of emphasis. The better-told story is the most remembered.
