Are you searching for ways to connect with fans on a deeper level? If you are, have you thought about using psychology in your marketing? Implementing basic psychological marketing principles in your social media marketing can help you attract, engage as well as form emotional bonds with your target audience.<\/p>\n

Colour Psychology<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Social media is extremely visual so it makes sense to start off with colour psychology. While there is some disagreement about the emotional meanings of colours, these meanings \u2013 nine times out of 10 – hold true but obviously dependent on the tone and imagery used:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Red \u2013 Passion, anger, intensity, heightened emotional and physical state<\/li>\n
  • Yellow \u2013 Joy, serenity, happiness, and ecstasy<\/li>\n
  • Blue \u2013 Trustworthiness, approachable, sad, soothing<\/li>\n
  • Green \u2013 Luck, prosperity, money, conservativeness, success<\/li>\n
  • Purple \u2013 Intellectual, problem-solving, regal, special, luxe<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Give A Gift<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    If you give people something which they find valuable, they\u2019ll normally feel indebted to you. To integrate this neuromarketing tactic in your social media marketing, you could offer a small gift such as a discount, free trial, or free resource guide<\/a> to your fans. Whatever you decide to offer, the ultimate goal is to answer the question: \u201cWhat\u2019s in it for me?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
