Nostalgia has been shown to overcome loneliness, boredom, fear & anxiety. It makes people more generous towards strangers and more tolerant of outsiders. Couples feel closer and look happier when they share nostalgic memories. People feel warmer when they become nostalgic <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nostalgia is a bittersweet emotion \u2014 but eventually, it makes life seem more meaningful. People become more hopeful and positive, even optimistic when they speak wistfully of the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to a researcher, Dr Routledge \u201cNostalgia serves a crucial existential function. It brings to mind cherished experiences that assure us we are valued people who have meaningful lives.\u201d Some of our research shows that people who regularly engage in nostalgia are better at coping with concerns about death.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n How Nostalgia Works for Marketers\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Research shows that we are more likely to spend money when we feel nostalgic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Marketers use nostalgia to relive old favourites or return to the good old days. Creating a feeling of nostalgia evokes more positive emotions in people than modern non-nostalgic advertising. People make strong connections with items and characters from their past, and those connections never die<\/p>\n\n\n\n Marketers need a crisply defined audience and a clear vision of the customer journey. And most importantly what motivates your audience to buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From a marketing perspective, nostalgia also “sticks” – it binds consumers to a brand. Shared memory can be the strongest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some more examples<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Coca-Cola used nostalgia to double its sales volume with iconic bottles shaped like those vintage contour ones from 1923. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Calvin Klein reissued items from the collection that launched Kate Moss\u2019s modelling career, and five of the styles sold out within two months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Jack Daniel\u2019s BPI (brand power index) rose 27 per cent when it promoted a special edition to mark Frank Sinatra\u2019s 100th birthday and his 50-year relationship with the brand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Vinyl record sales increased. Purists say that the sound quality of vinyl is creating the demand, most agree that nostalgia is the reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Classifications<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The study \u201cNostalgia, autobiographical memories and brand communication\u201d defines four consumer classifications with corresponding brand communication strategies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n By using nostalgia to connect consumers across generations with their shared experiences, marketers can tap into buyer motivation and ultimately stimulate consumption. Playing the right nostalgia card to successfully overcome generational groups is a successful marketing strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even better though is to focus on something that can appeal to more than one generation. Appealing to more than one generation with nostalgia can explicitly leverage family connectedness to evoke feelings of comfort, security and fondness for a brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nostalgia is cool\u2026.you need to know how to leverage it<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Marketers use nostalgia to relive old favourites or return to the good old days.
