Love Branding - the book

Customers are emotional buyers and you need to go beyond facts and features to connect and get their attention and liking. When you truly understand how people feel, what they fear, love, hate, worry about and so on, you will be able to become their friend. If you can make people feel good around your brand, you will attract more customers and build a long term loyal commitment with them.

This book combines insights on relationships I´ve gathered both from my time as a researcher for FMCG brands and my years as a love coach, with psychological research on the power of influence. By seeing the relationship between brands and customers as similar to romantic partnerships, you will get a useful perspective to use for your business. Learn how to not only catch their eye, but also touch their heart.


Reviews 

“Love Branding takes a fresh approach by offering simple yet practical and actionable tips to marketers looking to build ‘emotional layers' into their products and brands.” Research magazine

"One might expect a book comparing brand relationships to human love would be full of fluffy anecdotes about romantic misadventures and speculative analogies to brand building. While there are indeed a few love coaching stories sprinkled around the book, they aren’t the main emphasis. In fact, Dahlman populates this slender but interesting volume with over a hundred end-noted citations as well as her own branding observations from both personal experience and consulting gigs.” Neuromarketing blog http://www.neurosciencemarketing.com/blog/articles/love-branding.htm
