Many make “buying decisions” when they are moved emotionally? Other traditional media have made the most of these principles and taken advantage of them for many years, whether it is a TV commercial or an ad in a magazine. People are emotional beings and people make decisions (either good or bad) when they are emotional. If something causes a customer to become upset, they become angry and try and solve it. If they become upset enough…they’ll make a decision to perhaps discontinue your service and hire another service.
With the web being a multimedia experience, we have lots of opportunity to work with emotional content. After all, your visitors are just human beings too? We’re really no different online than offline. We have an important emotional side of us that can be appealed to.
