TACTILE BRANDING Flashcards
tactile
perception by touching with the hands
haptic
cutaneous or kinesthetic perception (via skin and body movements, respectively)
Tactile Marketing:
aspects of marketing that can use touch include product, package, adv, retailing.
packAGING
A packaging with a strong and unique tactile element can increase diversification
Tactile branding can achieve:
Brand image
Differentiation recognition increase purchasing
Touch in advertising:
- Visual detail of texture
- Scrolling
- Swiping
- Vibrating
- Touchsense ads (vibration in key moments of the adv)
retailing
product touch example: apple stores set their notebooks at a 70° angle, in this way they’ll go an fully open it, hence touching the product.
mere touch effect
just by touching things people get more engaged (decrease frustration and increase confidence in purchase)
visual preview model
vision provides a fast initial estimate of tactile properties, tactile exploration then confirms or revises those properties.
need for touch
an individual’s preference and motivation for touching objects.
instrumental NFT
functional aspects of touch, like texture need to know the shape by touching. Only way to make sure if a product is worth buying is by touching it.
autotelic NFT
hedonic aspects of touch, enjoyment don’t need to know how it feels, you just enjoy feeling. I like to touch products even if I have no intention of touching them.
results of impulsivity
People with high NFT purchase more impulsively than low NFT, and touching increases impulsivity of purchase in both cases.
why does touch improve evaluations
- psychological ownership
- processing fluency
psychological ownership
a feeling that the target object belongs to oneself.
endowment effect
sellers who were given a mug were willing to give it up for 7$ minimum, while buyers would have purchased it for at most 2$. when you touch something it starts to feel yours.
processing fluency
a metacognitive evaluation of the ease with which something is perceived or understood. Touching a product increases the fluency of evaluating the product, and fluent processing increases liking.
Visuo-Tactile Integration: how does touch increase fluency?
Touch and vision help identify an object’s size, shape, and texture. Vision provides a preview of tactile properties, while touch provides a slower, more detailed confirmation. touch and vision are complementary senses, touching something improves the visual fluency of it.
grasping a product with a distinctive packaging facilitates visual recognition of it.
visuo-tactile priming
As a result, people with the visuo-haptic experience considered the can much more visually fluent than the bottle, while the ones with visual-only perceived them as equally fluent. it refers to how exposure to certain visual cues (such as images or pictures) can influence subsequent processing of tactile (touch-related) stimuli, and vice versa.
optimal integration theory
Haptic and visual info contribute of object recognition in a compensatory manner. When one of the two is less reliable, the other compensates. Visuo-Tactile priming is stronger when target is visually degraded.
