DEVELOPING EMOTIONAL PROFILES
Did you know that by developing emotional (personality) profiles, you can effectively reduce your marketing and media spend by 50%? These profiles reveal the emotional characteristics of your target audience, including their motivators, pain points, and interests, which ultimately drive their purchasing behaviour. In today's challenging landscape of market contraction and rising inflation, it has become increasingly critical to customise your marketing messages with these emotional drivers. By establishing this deep connection, you can cultivate loyal brand advocates who will passionately support your brand.
Want to know how to build these profiles? Learn more about how our proprietary Limbic Insights? methodology can propel your marketing by booking a complimentary workshop for you and/or your team today.
