Playing mind games
Why must we play mind games with each other? Is it to manipulate you as well as endlessly make comparisons or to make you feel uncertain and doubt yourself?
Why can’t we just be honest and keep things simple? Furthermore, keeping things simple will allow you to develop a quicker understanding of a brand and, keeping things honest will keep your loyalty to the brand.
Equally important this also applies to b2b marketing.
Consider this:
You don’t want to order a dress online that you planned to wear for a nice occasion and when it arrives you find that it looks nothing like in the picture where the model was wearing it.
Of course, you will be angry and disappointed. You will probably never use that brand again and you will let all your friends know as well.
You might even make a joke of it and put it on Twitter for all the world to see.
What I thought I bought and What I got
In the same way, you will also never consider using a mechanic that was not honest because you may end up with fake car parts. Likewise, you won’t be happy buying any brand online that does not live up to the expectation that it created.
So why not just be honest
To keep branding simple is not as difficult as you think, a minimalist approach to branding is more effective than over-branding.
If you over-brand your consumer is not clear on what you are representing and is often misunderstood. This leads to the consumer losing interest and you losing engagement. https://thedigitalmarketinginstitute.org/
So, get to the point and get the point across. Now that last sentence was exactly what I mean when I say be simple and honest.

you have to know,

you must know,

just in case
you didn’t know
that it’s too good to be
true:
I’m telling you.
