Marketing strategies require more than just demographic and purchase behavior data to build effective messaging.
A deep understanding of what drives a consumer decision is required. Within any customer decision is a core motivational element that must be identified early in the creative process.
Often the factors that motivate a customer come from specific hidden personal values.
There are four factors to consider, and you need to understand all 4 to maximize your ability to influence.
- Motivational
- Demographical
- Behavioral
- Attitudinal
