The must-have guide for convincing consumers to fall in love with your brand
As consumers, we don't just use brands—we engage in a rich, complex, ever-changing relationship with them. Seasoned marketers of the most successful brands know that consumers who feel emotionally connected to a brand stay loyal, resist marketing gimmicks from competitors, and influence others to try the brand they love. How can marketers work to cultivate and grow those consumer relationships that will drive lasting success for their brands?
Romancing the Brand shows how to start, grow, maintain, and troubleshoot a successful relationship between brand and consumer, sharing the secrets behind establishing a mutually beneficial "romance." Drawing on exclusive, in-depth interviews with managers of some of the world's most iconic brands, Tim Halloran shares the arsenal of classic and emerging marketing tools—such as benefit laddering and word-of-mouth marketing—that make best-in-class brands successful. He also reveals what most marketers are missing in their quest to master new techniques such as social media and big data.
