The Psychology of Color: How to Use Colors to Increase Conversion Rate

The Psychology of Color: How to Use Colors to Increase Conversion Rate | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
When it comes to your business website, your customers may not even register how specific colors of your product package, website elements, or overall site design are influencing them. That’s why it can be difficult to get accurate customer feedback on your color scheme.


But we can draw some general conclusions about colors and their psychological effects. For instance, green suggests wealth, while blue builds trust, which is one of the reasons why you’ll see a lot of blue-based headers on professional services websites (lawyers, etc.).

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Neil Patel explores the psychology of colors and why they matter in marketing.

65% Of Marketers Are Not Giving Consumers What They Want

65% Of Marketers Are Not Giving Consumers What They Want | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

...Let’s start with the first excerpt shall we for this speaks directly to the ominous title of this article. Yes, while some will laud the 35% of marketers who are investing in a seamless or integrated shopping experience, I for one would rather focus on the 65% who are not and in turn not giving the consumer what they want.


The statistics come courtesy of a survey conducted by The E-tailing Group Inc. Perhaps even more troubling is the fact the 35% of the respondents who say they expect to offer a seamless shopping experience plan to do so in 2014 or 2015. Doesn’t that in turn mean the 65% who DON’T plan on offering this to consumers will go at least until 2016 before even beginning to plan for it?...

Jeff Domansky's insight:

There's a gap between what consumers want and what marketers are delivering and marketers are very slow to close the gap. Why is that?

Coca-Cola Sees No Sales Impact From Online Buzz; Says Digital Display As Effective As TV | CMO Strategy - Advertising Age

Coca-Cola Sees No Sales Impact From Online Buzz; Says Digital Display As Effective As TV | CMO Strategy - Advertising Age | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Coca-cola finds online buzz has no measurable short-term sales impact, but digital display ads work about as well as TV.

 

Study finds online buzz has no measurable impact on short-term sales, but online display ads work about as well as TV, said a company executive in a presentation at the Advertising Research Foundation's Re:think 2013 conference in New York today. It's a stunning admission for a company who's flagship brand has 61.5 million fans, more than any other brand on Facebook.

 

But Eric Schmidt, senior manager-marketing strategy and insights at Coca-Cola, isn't giving up on buzz just yet. And he cautioned against reading too much into the research, noting that it covers only buzz, not sharing, video views or other aspects of social media. But when Coca-Cola put buzz sentiment data into the same analytical framework it uses to evaluate other digital media, Mr. Schmidt said, "We didn't see any statistically significant relationship between our buzz and our short-term sales."...

Jeff Domansky's insight:

What can marketing read from these coca tea leaves? Interesting but inconconclusive.
