I have a confession to make: I have a problem with Retail Therapy.
Sometimes, I get happy or sad (or even just bored) and want to buy something. Clothes, food, anything.
I know, it’s terrible, but I take solace in the fact that I'm not alone.
People are emotional creatures. When it comes to shopping, our emotions and mental states can change drastically as we go from Awareness to Consideration and ultimately, Decision Making.
As any great inbound marketer, it’s our job to know and understand these emotional states and align our strategies to give consumers what they need during them to feel comfortable making a purchase.
