1 The four basic emotions

According to psychologist Paul Ekman, there are four basic emotions that humans experience: happiness, sadness, anger, and fear. These emotions can be triggered by various stimuli, such as images, words, sounds, or situations. They can also be mixed and combined to form more complex emotions, such as surprise, disgust, or anticipation. Each emotion has a different impact on how people behave and respond on social media. For example, happiness can increase the likelihood of liking, sharing, and commenting, while anger can prompt people to express their opinions or vent their frustrations.

2 The emotional value proposition

To create engaging and converting social media content, you need to understand what emotional value proposition you are offering to your audience. This means identifying what emotional benefits your product or service can provide, and how you can communicate them effectively. For example, if you are selling a fitness app, you might want to emphasize how it can help your customers feel more confident, energetic, or motivated. You can use storytelling, testimonials, or demonstrations to showcase the emotional value proposition of your product or service.

Consumers often seek emotional satisfaction through their purchases, hoping that the products or services they buy will fulfill their desires, boost their self-esteem, or provide pleasure. Advertisers have long created imagery and campaigns which persuade the buyer that the consumption of their goods will enable them to gain social status, or deliver wealth, health and happiness. However, in the social media age peer pressure can influence consumer decision-making making the nurturing of communities highly important.

3 The emotional analytics tools

To measure the emotional impact of your social media content, you should use emotional analytics tools. These software applications can analyze the emotional expressions, sentiments, and reactions of your audience based on their online behavior. Facial recognition tools can detect and analyze the facial expressions of your audience from photos or videos to understand how they feel about your content, brand, or product. Text analysis tools can extract and interpret the emotional tone and meaning of text written by your audience, such as comments, reviews, or feedback. Furthermore, social listening tools can monitor and track conversations and mentions of your brand, product, or industry across different social media platforms to measure the volume, reach, and sentiment of your online reputation as well as topics and trends that interest or affect your audience.

4 The emotional metrics and goals

To evaluate the effectiveness of your social media content based on emotions, you need to define the emotional metrics and goals that align with your business objectives. These are the quantitative and qualitative indicators that can measure the emotional engagement and conversion of your audience. For example, emotional engagement looks at how much your audience interacts with your content, such as likes, shares, comments, reactions, views, or clicks. The goal is to increase the emotional engagement of your audience by creating content that appeals to their emotions and encourages them to participate. Additionally, emotional conversion measures how much your audience takes action based on your content. You should create content that demonstrates the emotional value proposition of your product or service and motivates them to act in order to increase conversion. Finally, emotional loyalty looks at how much your audience stays connected and loyal to your brand over time. To increase loyalty, create content that builds trust, satisfaction, and advocacy.

Subtle cues, such as images or words, can prime consumers' thoughts and influence their subsequent buying behavior. Think about how you feel when you go into your favourite store or restaurant. Also bear in mind that consumers are motivated by their perception of what they need or want, and are easily bored, and often swayed by novelty, or want to be the first to experience something new (which is restaurants need to change their menu, or new features need to be added to a game or app). Most of all know your audience. Priming can evoke specific emotions or associations that sway consumer preferences.
