Today’s “Back-to-the-Basics” is going to be a little more than “basic.” The first half I’ll share Dan’s 5 generic E-Factors (Emotional Factors… basic), and the second half will be additional E-Factors to Affluent Buyers (a little more than basic).
In Dan Kennedy’s book, No B.S. Marketing to the Affluent, Dan says:
“Everybody’s buying behavior is driven by emotions,
justified as necessary, after the fact, with logic.”
E-Factors are the emotional drivers of buying behavior.
Here are 5 generic E-Factors Dan says are applied to everybody:
- Fear
- Pride
- Love
- Guilt
- Greed
These 5 E-Factors can be found in many marketing books (Basic).
Here are 7 additional E-Factors to consider with Affluent Buyers:
- Insecurity
- Fear of being found fakers
- Desperate desire not to commit a faux pas
- Today, not passé
- Feeding emotional emptiness
- Giving selves gold stars
- After all, what’s the point of being rich
If you’re marketing to affluent buyers, then use these more advanced E-Factors when creating your next marketing piece.
You can create some really great marketing campaigns if you give some thought on how you can use these E-Factors to present your products and services.
How are you currently using these E-Factors when creating your marketing campaigns? If you haven’t thought about them before, is your creative mind starting to flow?!
