1 The role of emotions in marketing

Emotions are subjective feelings that affect how people perceive, process, and respond to information and stimuli. Emotions can also motivate people to act or avoid certain behaviors, depending on their goals, values, and expectations. Marketing research shows that emotional appeals can enhance the effectiveness of marketing messages by creating positive associations, increasing attention and memory, and influencing attitudes and preferences. However, not all emotional appeals work the same way for different age groups, as they may have different emotional triggers, needs, and preferences.

Using emotional appeals in marketing can be highly effective across different age groups, but it's important to understand the nuances of each demographic and tailor your approach accordingly. Human way is the is the most effective way to reach the humans (all customers are humans) regardless of the age. Regardless of the age group, it's crucial to be authentic, respectful, and empathetic in your emotional appeals. Understand the values, motivations, and preferences of your target audience, and craft messaging that resonates with their emotions and experiences.

Manipulation is NEVER a good thing to use in advertising. Your target market will hate you for it when they decipher what your TRUE agenda is- sales. Selling is not a bad thing. It has to be done in the right way. People are too sophisticated now. This generation KNOWS when you are trying to pull those emotional strings to get sales. Being honest, transparent, a little imperfect, and loving will ALWAYS resonate better when you are "selling" your products. Connection is key! Caring about your audience and customers is golden too!

2 The influence of age on emotions

Age is one of the factors that can affect how people experience and express emotions. According to the socioemotional selectivity theory, as people age, they tend to focus more on positive emotions and less on negative ones, as they prioritize meaningful and satisfying relationships and experiences over new and uncertain ones. This means that older consumers may be more responsive to emotional appeals that emphasize happiness, nostalgia, gratitude, and trust, while younger consumers may be more attracted to emotional appeals that highlight excitement, curiosity, novelty, and challenge.

Exactement, toutes les générations n'écoutent pas par exemple les mêmes musiques et ne ressentent donc pas les mêmes émotions face à des stimuli.

3 The impact of generational differences on emotions

Another factor that can affect how people respond to emotional appeals is their generational cohort, which refers to the group of people who share similar life experiences, values, and attitudes based on their historical and cultural context. For example, baby boomers (born between 1946 and 1964) tend to value individualism, achievement, and optimism, and may respond well to emotional appeals that appeal to their sense of identity, accomplishment, and freedom. Generation X (born between 1965 and 1980) tend to value pragmatism, diversity, and balance, and may respond well to emotional appeals that appeal to their sense of realism, authenticity, and flexibility. Millennials (born between 1981 and 1996) tend to value collaboration, innovation, and social responsibility, and may respond well to emotional appeals that appeal to their sense of community, creativity, and purpose. Generation Z (born after 1997) tend to value personalization, inclusivity, and activism, and may respond well to emotional appeals that appeal to their sense of individuality, belonging, and impact.

Emotional appeals can make strong impacts but it requires research and consumer insights. Emotional appeals may or may not increase sales but would create brand awareness. Emotional appeals may work differently in different cultures, geographic areas, ages etc. These have been used not just by FMCG industry but even financial institutions like banks, insurance companies. Only if the offer is backed by the customer promise delivery will it have the desired impact. Some beautiful marketing campaigns have great recall but the product may get lost in the message. It has to be used with proper research pre and post. Sometimes the same emotional appeal is used for various categories and all that people remember is the emotional appeal

Provided the messaging is believable & true to the brand, consumers will most probably connect with it. The issue is when a brand goes too far trying to tap into an emotional territory that is very far fetched: then it could not only not resonate with the target audience, but even backfire if it is perceived negatively.

Faites bien la différence entre le sensoriel et l'expérientiel. L'implication et 'engagement de la cible ne sont pas les mêmes selon la stratégie que vous appliquerez. Votre budget communication également, ne vous permettra pas de tout faire au même moment.
