3000Estimates suggest that on average

a person in the UK is exposed

to more than 3,000 brand

and advertising messages

a day


1,000,000,0

00active Facebook users in the world



Herbert Alexander Simon, an American psychologist summed this problem up in a simple quote:

A wealth of information creates a poverty of attention


So attention is what all brands are now fighting for.

Gaining attention is the first step to having a conversation with consumers.


This may sound obvious buttoday's problem is getting consumers to consume advertising

Traditional advertisers’ model suggested consumers went through a linear process: AIDA Attention | Interest | Desire | Action

In today's world Attention is the major and key factor in the process of converting non-consumers to brands


How to gain attentionFirstly understand the triggers


The Attention Triggers

People have little control over the

emotional drivers, such as sex,

status and danger. These focus their

attention and can distort or mask the

true subject matter.

As long as the consumer sees relevant content, he/she is going to stick around or return again – this creates opportunities to have a selling conversation.

Uniqueness is the key trigger to a successful

campaign. People are looking for new things,

different prospective, something to talk about, to

make themselves look good, or sound

knowledgeable within their circle of friends/work

mates. This is social currency/social fashion.

Emotional

Relevancy

Uniqueness


UniquenessIn today’s culture, the things that stand out do so because they are extremely unique.

You can’t just be slightly different, you need to do something a little more extraordinary to really catch people’s attention.


UniquenessThe only way to be unique is to be yourself and let a part of you and your personality be reflected in your product.

Don’t try to be all things to all people, stand for something.

Outcomes for your website


Decisions are rational and emotional


It is impossible to engage someone if you don’t know what’s motivating them


Framing

Feedback loops

Goal setting / Achievements

Story

Familiarity Bias

Making an emotional connection


“Less than a cup of coffee a day”



We are engaged by situations in which we see our actions modify subsequent results



We are engaged by experiences that can bring meaningful achievements




Narrative elements are more believable


“Storytelling is the best way to

emotionally connect to people. We all

have stories in common so instead of

listing facts and figures on your

website, tell the story behind them.”Robert Mills


Info-graphic



We prefer things that are familiar to us


“Showing personality in your app,

website, or brand can be a very

powerful way for your audience to

identify and empathize with you. People

want to connect with real people and

too often we forget that businesses are

just collections of people. So why not let

that shine through?”Aarron Walter
