Our lives are defined by emotions; it is a powerful force that transcends beyond rationality. It is only natural that marketers and creatives leverage emotional advertising. Emotional advertising is known to form a connection between brands and their products with the audience. We as consumers would like to believe that our purchase decisions are rational and requires cognitive thinking, but studies<\/a> show that our gut reaction to an advertisement predisposes us; the consumer, to make decisions on par with the brand\u2019s motives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Advertisers are known to reel in emotions to create an impact on the consumer which will make the ad memorable and therefore affect their purchase decisions. Emotional advertisements are said to make twice as many conversions when compared to a more \u2018rational\u2019 or \u2018factual\u2019 advert. Moreover, advertisements that leave a positive and joyous impact on the consumer are shared more amongst the audience to spread more positivity. This use of storytelling in ads can trigger the release of oxytocin aka the \u2018love\u2019 hormone. Marketers use this hormone in their ads to form a strong bond between the consumer and the product\/brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOne or too many emotions!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
