HAPPY MARKETING

By

                          





Happiness is a hot topic these days. Happiness is a choice. Happiness is an emotion and Happiness is important in Marketing.Happy Marketing is a marketing strategy-Joy marketing strategy. The reason we buy products or services is that we want to satisfy our needs and ultimately enhance our happiness.

 

Marketers rarely ,if ever talk about happiness directly but in designing digital offerings , or promoting ads, they focus on creation of the feeling of happiness.

Happiness also influences the employees commitment, creativity, decision making, work quality and it can influence customer's decision and urge people to act, It can drive business growth.

Many of our feelings about our income, our car and our house are molded by our next door neighbours income, care and house. This is called happiness from relative status. For example, if your neighbour buys a new car, then to keep up with them, you too need a new car.

Emotional ad- they strategically manipulate consumer's feelings and stimulate the emotional triggers that influence how we make decisions. An emotional ad may be designed to incite joy- all targeted towards the brand's end goal.

If you see and ad for a New Car ,it makes you think about your car , which might make you feel bad.

If you see USD 1000 prices mobile phone, then you look at your mobile phone, which you probably paid about 200-300 USD , which might make you feel sad.

YOU CAN'T BUY HAPPINESS

Corporate leaders won't like hearing me say that-buying that New Car or New phone, can help you make you feel slightly happier,but deep down,it has a keeping-up-with -the joneses status effect.And when everybody buys the same thing the effect is nullified. That is partly why advertising hurts group happiness.

  For the stress, here is the rub. No body can make you stress/unhappy unless you agree to it.No matter what others do to you. How you react to an experience determines whether you will be stressed or happy. It is your mind that wrecks havoc on your peace, cause frustruation and destroys happiness-not the external world. It is a mistake to believe that he or she or this or that circumstances or outside world make you stress. You are the architect of your own happiness. You are the architect of your own unhappiness. One fact we know about ourself is one day we die. The death of body is inevitable. But we celebrate our birthday, birthdays of our near and dear ones, family etc. We dont care about the future anxiety-the death. We celebrate as we have no death. We are not stressed .We conduct huge party/celebrations for our birthdays. Same way we should handle stress as if there is no stress. How to handle stress? : If you ask any one across the world,the most likely answe...

LOVE If you do a web search, you will know dating sites for love are booming.The market value of the online dating industry in the next 5 years is expected to be 100 million USD   Both the younger especially below 24 years and matured people irrespective of gender, date for want of sex, love and marriage.   I am going to give you hard truth .We love the whole world for our own sake. This is the nature of the World. Any why the world like this? Because every body wants happiness and fun. We wish to date or love each other for our own happiness not for the happiness of the other. The moment your happiness lessened the love will be reduced.   The Brihadaranyaka Upanishad teaches not to love him/her for the sake of our happiness. Love him/her for the sake of his/her happiness.   When there is no cause that is “ Love”. When cause comes in , it becomes business!!! I heard many friends of opposite sex saying me, they don’t get connected to their ...

GRATITUDE AND KINDNESS

By
  Gratitude and Kindness are sine qua non for any people who chant prayers or who don’t believe in God. Whether you are an atheist or a theist, you should have Gratitude and Kindness. It is very painful to say that though we are polytheistic or monotheistic - we donot urge to develop these qualities. Only these two qualities going to be useful for the humanity. It is much more powerful than praying lips. Swami Vivekananda teaches service of the poor is akin to worshipping God. To reach Narayana you must serve the Daridra Narayanas- the starving millions of poorest. If you don’t see God in man, if you don;’t believe in yourself,then too you are an atheist. Gratitude is a positive feeling. According to UCLA neuroscientist Alex Korb, we cannot focus on positive and negative feelings at the same time. When we develop gratitude, our brain gets a positive feelings and brain release dopamine, which makes us want to feel that way again and again, and we begin to make gratitude a ha...
